The Greeley Statue,

Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton sends five
dollars to the Greeley Statue Fund to be
placed by the side of Franklin, and wants
a woman to carve it. She says:
There is poetic justice in placing work
of art from the hand of woman where
Franklin may contemplate it through
bronze eyes for ages to come ; as he was
proverbially faithless to this "fair SEX"
He neglected his wife-did not see her face
for eleven years-was harsh to his children,
at least to those of them he knew /; and
Mr.. Greeley, speaking of toast at the re-
cent Franklin dinner eulOgized him as
"a philosopher who never loved"
Perhaps, with this view of the divine
passion as unworthy philosopher, Mr..
Greeley might object, like Abimilech OF
old, to accept Immortality even at the
hand of a woman.

BcIIigercnfs i'm Esquire Ochs' Court.

Two parties, one j. III. Miller. the other
Jas. Turner, were heavily fined i'll Esquire
Och's Court for contempt, i'll fighting in
presence of the court. .-sF..
The facts seem to be that Turner pretty
severely pummeled Miller at a saloon Oh
GAY street, when Miller applied to Esquire
Ochs for a States warrant for Turner for
assault and battery. Turner was arrested
and Immediately brought before Esquire
Ochs for trial.
While Esquire Ochs was cOnversing
with one of the witnesses upon the pro-
priety, on account of the condition of the
parties, of q continuance of the case un-
til this morning, the parties seem to have
gotten together and were using vigorously
their fists in the presence of the Justice.
ESQUIRE Ochs commanded the peace
but with no avail, and both parties were
fined $50 each, which was afterwards re-
duced to SO, as the Justice found that
that amount was his limit under the law,
and mittimus was at once made out for
the imprisonment of both parties.
Miller was sent to jail but afterwards
taken out and brought before Esquire
Ochs, who required him to enter into bond
to keep the peace for six months Miller
refused to do this, claiming he had COM
mitted no breach, nor sought to do so,
Whereupon he was again committed, Pc
titioning for writ of habeas corpus, the
case. as to him, will probably be tried this
A. NJ. before His Honor Judge NJ, l.. Hall.
of the Criminal Court.
Turner escaped and was by his friends
induced TO TO home.

THE PALACE OF THE TUILERIEs.-M.
Garnier has at length sent in his report of
the state of the TuiIeries. Not stone of
the ancient building can be made to serve
again the whole edifice is so completely
calcined that the stones crumble away at
the slightest touch. The general opinion
is that the palace was ill-panned, serving
as q mask to the far finer construction of
the Louvre. NJ. GARNER, therefore, pro-
poses to rebuild the two pavillions only,
leaving the space between them to be oc-
cupied by open columns, through which
the palace of the Louvre, with its great
square and gardens, may be seen all down
the ChamDS ElySees

AN UGLY BLOW TO AMNEsTY.-Fred
Douglass, the veteran colored apostle of
emancipation, has been snubbed by the
clerk of hotel in st. Louis, and denied
accommodations usually extended to re-
spectacle travellers. In this the st. Louis
hotel clerk made blunder. Fred. Doug
lass is a representative man of his class
and color. He behaves himself decently,
and, no doubt, laves himself as frequently
as many of the white guests who patronize
hotels or sponge upon hotel landlords. The
emancipation of the colored race and their
elevation to all the political rights and pre-
rogatives of white people have given the
colored man political position which the
Constitution recognizes and the laws of
the republic enforce. We fear this blum
der on the part of the St. Louis hotel clerk
will have damaging effect upon the gen.
eral amnesty bill now before Congress-

SHOT DOWN AT SIGHT.
"A Man Travels Five Hundred Miles to
kilI the Alleged Befrayer of His Wife.

AAAAA thc beIrityer OF HIS WIte.
William Singleton, who was employed
at saw mill, at Shellmound on the Nash
vile and Chattanooga railroad, was shot
at that place Monday afternoon, by man
named L. J. johnson, who halls from Ge-
neva, Illinois.
Johnson tells the following story in vim
dication of his conduct: About year and
half ago, Singleton lived in Geneva.
While there he became too intimate with
JohnSOnS wife, but soon after left the
place. Since that time he had been cor
responding with Mrs. Johnson The hus-
band Intercepted their letters and found
them such as ought not to he written to
another mans wife nor answered by her.
He therefore determined to hunt Single
ton up and kill him.
He arrived tChattanoOgaMOnday morn
ing, and learning that Singleton was at
Shellmound, announced publicly that he
intended to kill him, and left for that place
i'll the afternoon. On arriving at Shell
mound he found Singleton at work. Ad-
vancing upon him he cried I've come
500 miles to kill YOU" took deliberate aim
with his revolver and fired five times at
him, two of the balls taking effect in Sin
gletons breast on the right side, probably
entering his lungs, anC one in the upper
portion of the thigh,
JOiluSOH w do 6I1CSISu, ldhGn " NildLlu-
nooga and lodged in Jail
Singleton was conveyed to Chattanooga
also, where he received proper attention at
the residence of Perry Ransom. Infiam-
nation had set in at 3 o'clock yesterday
morning, and it was believed that he would
not live twenty-fOur hours. Banner,

ESCAPE OF THE ASSASSIN JOHNSON.
T. J. Johnson, the man who shot Mr.
w. G. Singleton. few days since, has eff
fected his escape. He was given into the
hands of a country Squire " for safe
keeping, who in order to make sure of his
man took him to bed with him. OF course
Johnson was not so big fool as to remain
in "durance vile " of that kind. He rose
during the night, helped himself to his
revolver and went on his way in peace.
Really crime is becoming staple article
and the responsibility of public office is
fast losing its weight, when such cold
blooded assassins are turned loose in so
damnable a manner AS this. Would it not
pay to establish firm of highway robbers?
1t would in the present state of affairs we
think bring good income, with but very
little risk.-Chdt. Times, 18th.
