FL1Es.-A memorable expression Of
Mozis Addums is, II hate a fly s; dern a
fly" Flies are certainly troublesome at this
season of the year and any available meth
cd for getting rid Of them would prove very
acceptable to the majority of people. We
see it stated that hanging branches Of May
weed or wild chamomile, in flower, about a
room, or even strewing the dried flowers
therein, will expel flies. If this be so, why
don't somebody 60 into the ''Wild chamo-
mile" business, and let suffering humanity
know where supply of that plant can be
obtained, on moderate terms9 Another
mode of expulsion is partially burning black
pepper, by putting it on a hot shovel. If
these remedies Of grievous annoyance are
not worse than the annoyance itself, the adop-
ton of one or the other should become uni.
versal wherever flies are numerous.

The CHESAPEAKE & OHIO RAILROAD TO
BE FINISHED IN OCTOBER NExr-TRAcK.
LAYING GONG AHEAD.-The Chesapeake
Il Ohio railroad, says the Richmond Dis.
patch, is being pushed forward with vim
and energy that will insure its completion
in October, unless something unforeseen be-
-yond the power Of man to control should
prevent. The information from the whole
line is indeed most cheering, and the con
tractors are hurrying up with their part of
the work to get out Of the way Of the track
layers. There are 103 miles of track to be
laid SO miles Of this distance will be laid
from the East. This includes the portion
Of the road between the White Sulphur
Springs and Bowyer's Ferry, and will be
ready for the rails as fast as they can be
laid. The work has already commenced,
and the rails are shipped as needed from
Richmond. The remaining twenty miles
will be finished from the western end.
On this part of the road there is very
large force at work, and no doubt is enter
tanned that the road-bed will be ready for
the iron by the time the track from the cas-
tern end reaches that point Everything
is in such state of forw ardness that we may
feel assured of greeting westward train

The supplementary Enforce
ment Bill.

By dastardly trick in the Senate, and a
shameless ruling on the part of Senator
Anthony, who occupied the chair, the Sup.
Elementary Enforcement bill, extending
the provisions of the bill over every voting
precinct throughout the United States, was
passed by the Senate as an amendment to
the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill The
latter bill, because of its obnoxious amend.
ment, was defeated by the Democrats in the
House, supported by some of the Liberal
Republicans. A committee of conference
was ordered, which resulted in modi6ca-
ton of the Supplementary Election bill, so
as to provide
Chat in any county or parish in any
Congressional district, whenever ten citizens
in good standing shall make known to the

Mrs. Davis and Mr.. Greeley---A
Truthful Scrap of History.

Truthful Scrap of History.
The accompanying communication pub
lished in Georgia paper, comes from a
source of the most unquestionable authentic
ity, and reflects honor upon the nominee of
the Cincinnati Convention
Editors Telegraph and Messenger:
Mr.. Voorhees,, 10 his recent attack on
Mr.. Greeley, styled his signing Of Davis
bond an impertinent interference" Allow
me to give you the true history of the mat
ter as I recently learned it in New York,
from a gentleman who knew all about it.
Mrs. Davis went to New York to consult
Charles O'Conor, Mr. Davis counsel, as to
the best manner, of effecting his release from
prison. Mr. O'Conor told her that in his
opinion there was but one way that it could
be done, and that was to get the represen-
tative man Of the Republican party to sign
his bond Mrs. Davis inquired who that
man was Mr. O'Conor replied that it was
Horace Greeley. She then asked if he
would not see Mr. Greeley and get him to
do it. He replied that he had no influence
with Mr.. Greeley, and that she was the
proper person to see him. She went to his
Office, sent in her card and was invited into
his private office. She said to him:
"Mr. Greeley. my husband is confined in
a casemate at Fortress Monroe. He has
been there for mary long, weary months.
He is feeble old man, and be is gradually
sinking under his rigorous imprisonment.
He will die if he remains there much longer.
l came here to consult Mr.. O'Conor as to
the means of getting him released. He has
told that there is but one way to do it., and
that is TO get the representative man of the
Republican party to sign his bond, and says
! that you are the man He says that you
have kind heart, and that you will do it,
if you believe it to be right. My husband
is dying. Mr.. Greeley, may I hope that
you will fayorably consider my applica-
ton p
Mr.. Greeley arose, extended his hand to
Mrs. Davis, and said MADAM, you may
for I will sign his bond" Mr.. Greeley
was then prominent candidate before the
Legislature for the United States Senate.
Some of bis friends heard that be had agreed
to sign Mr.. Davis bond, they pent to him
and protested against it. They told him
that they had made count, and that he
would be elected by six majority, but that
if he signed the bond it would defeat him.
He replied, II know it will" They told
him that he was one Of the owners of the
Tribune, and ifhe signed this bond he would
lose thousands of subscribers He replied
II know it," They said, "Mr Greeley,
you have written hi tory Of the war, one
volume you have out, and have sold large
numbers of it. Your second volume is
nearly out and you have large orders for
that. Ifyou sign this bond, these orders
will be countermanded and you will lose a
large amount of money. He replied,
Gentlemen, I know it, but it is right, and
I'll do it." He did do it, and am inform
ed that be lost seat in the United States
Senate, and over thirty thousand dollars
Tony mind this does not look like sim
pertinent interference"
