MR.. BoBEsoN
Secretary Robson has returned to this city.
FINANCIAL.
The proposition for the absorption of five mil
lions of the fve-twenty loan of 1862 came from
a prominent banking house, and will probably be
soon consummated. An equal amount of the
new loan is to be substituted.
ALABAMA.
Hon. p. M, DoX member of congress from
Alabama, testified before the kuklux committee
to-day, that Rev. Mr.. Larkin, heretofore exam
ired, did not possess good character in Hunts
vile, and that Larkin, Notwithstanding his pre-
tended love for the Golored people, had had diff
Guilty with a c0lOred preacher, whose church he
endeavored To break up. There were no kukluX
in Mr. DOx'S section, which was as quiet as any
other part of the country. People are obedient
to the laws, and peace and prosperity prevailed
He was examined on the subject Of miscegna'
ton on the part of white men and black women,
and said the community abhOrred and would
not tolerate any person known to be guilty Of
such practices. He would be secuted and con-
demned in respectable communities.

habitants, using every means at their COM
mand to enforce this proclamation, assuring all
such properly constituted authorities that, in
the event of the insufiiciency of the ordinary
local power the entire power Of the state will,
if necessary, be called into exercise to compel.
at any cost, respect for, and obedience to, our
laws; and,
do further enioin upon the members of the
society to assemble together tomorrow, the
exercise of the utmost patience, care and dis
erection in pursuance of their rights, bearing in
mind that, by large portion of our fellow
citizens, the peculiar occasion of their gathering
is deemed an unnecessary revival of an ancient
political and religious feud, of no general in
terest TO the great body of our American citi-
zens; and that, though they are sustained in
their right to peacefully assemble together, they
are by no means sustained, as l firmly believe,
by any large number of the sincerely patriotic
and Christian people in the eXpediency of the
exercise of that right.
Rumors being current that the Orangemen
intend TO extend their picnic TO Newark, the au-
thories are making arrangements to preserve
the peace at all hazards, and protect the rights
of citizens. Gen. Plume has promptly notified
the military under his command to be in readi-
ness.

A STROKE OF LIGHTNING AND ITS FREAK.
correspondent of the Chicago Evening Jour
nal, writing from Grant City, Iowa, states that,
on Saturday afternoon, July LIST, about two
O'Clock, there was the appearance of shower
approaching from the northwest. 81 took a
shOrt-handled garden rake and started to put in
some tuInip seed. Meeting Mr.. VIM. johnson,
neighbor from the lake, we returned to the
house. l set him chair and seated myself on
bench close to the door, on which Il little
granddaughter about three years of age, was
sitting, still holding the rake in my left hand,
the end of the handle resting on the floor and
rolling it between my thumb and finger While
in conversation with Mr.. johnson, bolt of
lightning entered the door with terrific explo
sion, close to my head, literally filling the room
with smoke, smelling like gunpowder or sui
phur.
For some moments we both sat motonless
in our seats, gazing at each other, the lower
limbs of each, from the knee, being paralyzed,
the ankles and feet suffering most. Mr.. John
son was sitting with the left leg crossing the
right, and the electricity seems to have torn a
hole through his coat and pants at the left hip,
passing down to the seat of his chair, thence
across to the inside of his right leg, burning
the same above the knee, and passing off at
his feet, SCATTERING the floor between us. My
wife, sitting on the opposite side of the room
felt the shock slightly in the three middle toes
of the right foot they being soon swollen and
bloodshot,! while the great and little toes
seemingly were untouched; heri left foot, rest
ing upon the ronnd of her chair, escaped
unframed, although the electricity passed
through the floor close to her feet, making
hole about eighteen inches long. Strange to
say, the little girl, sitting al my side on the
bench, was unharmed although it passed UNI
der her feet. A stove in the room was resting
upon four blocks of wood, four inches square,
three of which were literally shlvered to atoms
The rake has eleven teeth, and there are as
MANY COrrpSnOudiOu morys of its work I1non
the floor and around the room, distinctly to be
seen.
my wife soon recovered from the sho TX, and
with tile aid of the hired man and medical rene
dies at hand, soon succeeded in restoring Mr..
Johnson and myself to consciousness. We suf-
fered intense pain for a few hours from our
knees to the toes, the flesh turning purple,
feeling as though it had been frozen. Mr.. j..
has returned to his family, and at this time of
writing my left leg has so far recovered that is
can bear my weight upon it, and the right |
gradually returning to its natural feeling"

KILLED HIS WIFE.

KILLED HIS WIFE.
PITTSBURG, July 11.-Patrick Barry aged
sixty-ive years, residing in Monongahela
borough, killed his wife, aged siXty-three, this
morning, by beating her on the head while
asleep in bed. The old man had saved consid-
cradle money, part of which the wife had given
to her brother. This so enraged Barry that he
killed her and Immediately delivered himself
to the authorities.
IRON CLAD JIMMY.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-THE coroner's
jury in the case of the desperate known as
iron clad Jimmy" who was shot by the police
found that his death was accidental.
MRS. FAIR.
In the case of Mrs. Fair, an appeal has
been filed in the supreme court, and a writ is
sued The appeal will be heard in October
There is no likelihood of the execution taking
place before the first of January.
FEARFUL BUTCHERY.
WILMINGTON, N. c., July ia fearful
butchery was perpetrated in Robson county,
yesterday afternoon, by Henry Berry Lawry and
band Of negroes. A sherif's posse, having in
charge Lawry'S wife and several other prison
ers, who had been aiding and abetting the ne
groes, was ambuscaded near Bugs store, on the
Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford railroad,
when Lawry's band attacked them. The follow
ing of the sheriff's posse were killed and wound
ed: Kiled-Hector Mcmillan, Archibald Brown
and Hector Mcneil. Wounded-D. Mccormick.
man and cousin of Lawry, but cooperating with
the sheritPs posse.
The fight resolved itself into regular battle,
which lasted for some time. The sherif's
posse followed the negroes into the recesses OF
the swamp. 1t is not certain if any of the out
laws are killed. Lawry, leader of the band, and
Captain I. M. Wishart had regular duel on
the railroad track, each loading and firing de-
liberately five or six times, but neither was
wounded. The whole county of Robson is
aroused, and it is believed a company will now
be naugurated that will result in the exter-
mination of the band. A committee of citizens
of Robson county came to this city to-day TO
secure arms and ammunition. The members of
the Lawry band are all negroes.

Railroad MATTERS.

NORTH MISSOURI.
ST. LOUIS, July ia petition was presented
TO the county court yesterday, asking to have
the county's stock in the North Missouri rail
road put up ut auction and sold to the highest
bidder. The court ordered counsel 10 be EN-
ployed to procure an injunction against the sale
of the North Missouri road advertised for next
Monday, and appointed two members Of the
court to carry the order into effect The court
took the ground that if the road is sold under
the second mortgage deed, as advertised, the
sale would be null and void, as said second
mortgage bonds were issued without the con-
sent of the stockholders.
ST. LOUIS AND KEoKUK.
ST. LOUIS, July 11.-John S. Woolf has
brought suit, in the United States circuit court,
to recover 100000 from the st. Louis and
Keokuk railroad, for the non-fulflment of a
contract.

southern states are reaping their reward. If
Kentucky had stood by her own flesh and blood
she would be serving a kinder master than at
present. General Sherman does not put too
high an estimate on the services she rendered
the confederate government. If all the slave
holding states had stood together the south
might have achieved her independence in two
years If they could have forSeen the result
of their loyalty they would have been found
shoulder to shoulder with their brethren and
friends, and to-day we would be all freemen in
stead of slaves"
Much disappointment is manifested by a
number of politicians and otflce-seekers who
have arrived in Washington in anticipation that
the president would be there to hold q cabinet
meeting, at the announcement that the presi-
dent remains at Long Branch. Senator Spencer
and other Alabama politicians are especially
displeased, and the former says that the presi-
dent assured him most positively that he would
be there and make an appointment at which all
the papers in the case Of the collectorsbip of
Mobile were to be talked over and considered.
personal friend of the president, who was
with him on Saturday, says the president ex.
pressed his intention of making only one more
trip to Washington before starting for Cali
tornia, about the end of August. 1t is now
very probable that no cabinet meeting will be
held before the first of August The office
seekers are leaving the city in disgust, and
few senators who have remained in expectation
of seeing the president will also leave for their
respective homes.
