The Southern excursionists arrived at
Louisville early yesterday morning, and
during the day visited all the places of
note. They number four hundred and
twenty-five persons. At one o'clock in
the afternoon they visited the ExpOsi-
ton, where a sumptuous lunch and con-
siderable speech-making was partici-
pated in.
a London letter, received in New
York, says that the publication Of Sir
Alexander COckburD's dissent from the
Geneva award has had the effect Of Gre
ating an impression that the award was
lagrantly unjust to England. The Ian
guage Of the Lord Chief Justice is very
severe, and he is alike indignant at the
American and British Governments.
The correspondent further says that the
more the matter is studied the less IA
vOrably it is regarded, and that there is
much cause for gloomy forebodings.

SINGULAR POISONING CASE.
Sudden Death Of the President Of st.
Augustine Cellege-Dying DeclarA.
ton that he had been Poisoned.

RALEIGH, n. c., October 2.-The
sudden and singular death in this COM
munity yesterday Of man Of some
mark and much usefulness, is the sub
iect Of absorbing interest and discussion
to-day. He was the Rev. DR.. l. Brin-
ton Smith, founder and President OF the
st. Augustine College in this city, for
the education Of colored students for
the Episcopal ministry. He came here
since the war from New York, but New
Jersey, l am informed, was his native
State and home FOR many years OF man
hood. The circumstances OF his death
are.briedy these: He took a double dose
Of seidlitz powders yesterday morning
before breakfast from the hands Of one
Of his daughters, very soon after took
breakfast, and Immediately thereafter
went out for a smoke on his from gal
lery, And there in the midst Of this,
his customary indulgence, be fell down
In violent convulAOns, and in a few
minutes was a corpse. his only words
after he was seized were: 4" l am dy-
ing, and feel that l am poisoned" A
physician was sent for Immediately, but
arrived after death. He tasted the re-
mains in the glass from which deceased
had drank heseidlitz powders and found
them intensely bitter. A coroner's in
quest followed in the evening, which
ordered 8 post H1Ortem for to-day, and
which was held this morning. But al
together no results are reached except
to determine to send the stomach on TO
Baltimore for the examination OF eX-
perts. There are many painful rumOrs
in circulation criminally duplicating the
family OF deceased but Lfeel warranted
in saying, after careful inquiry, that
none Of these has or will prove to have
had the least foundation. The fact that
deceased was intensely Cisliked by some
Of the colored population suggests to me
quite another suspicion. But It remains
to be absolutely pronounced yet whether
or not it was case Of poison, and after
that whether it was foul or accidental.
The family are all cultivated and re-
fined.
Happening so Immediately upon the
heels Of it, this topic has quite swal-
lowed up any interest in another and
death by violence in neigh
boring county but day or two since;
the killing OF a negro child, twelve
months old, by its stepsather, in the pres
ence OF Its mother. The man and wife
were in the field at work, the child
with its mother for OCCASION
81 nursing. The man threatened re-
peatedly that IL it did not stop its cry
ing and fuss he would break its neck or
dssh its brains out; and finally most
brutally and literally executed the latter
threat by snatching the child up and
hurling it head foremost with all his
might upon the hard ground. This &C
count I had last night from the gentle
man upon whose place the atrocity was
committed.

From the Fort smith Herald.T
The Gazette cannot, need not hope.
even backed by the reapectability she
claims for "our ticket" " to fool many in
the State who have watched her course
for the past few months; nor does she,
nor can she, hope 70 elect the ticket now

the people all over Arkansas, that the
course Of the Gazette is not calculated
for our good, but has been concOcted by
ring, 10 whom, place, power and dol
lars are far more important than the
rights, the liberties, or the freedom Of the
people, and the very fact that the Gazette
gave quasi support to every move
made by the reform party since the call
ing OF the state convention, proves our
position TO be correct; and now that her
pet scheme Is about to be cOnsumma
and her bid has been accepted, she pro-
claims aloud against the Reform ticket,
aud presents Us with one Of her own
make, or one furnished by the Conven-
ton Of Seventeen that met st Little

Reform State ticket would not have

II in good faith, and believing, As we do,
that success under il would De ours, We
positively set our face against the course
Of the Gazette, and call aloud and plain
ly 70 every Democrat in Arkansas to
beware, There is danger in the move
Of the Gazette, and in our Eext, and
hereafter, We viii ventilate it. The flop
Of the Era was s square one, made for
its Own party; the flop Of the Gazette is
covert and for the benefit Of the same
party. We fear that there are a few
say J0ar-papers Of Arkansas that have
been allied with the Reform movement

Democracy, that viii indOrse the Gazette,
and having confidence in their honesty

party and the people, We viii not men

THE ELECTIONS.


INDIANAPOLIS, October l0.-The
cial returns from eighty counties and re-
| ported majorities from nine counties,
and estimated maj0Tities in three eoun-
| ties not heard from, elect Hendricks,
| Democrat, for Governor by three to five
| hundred. The balance of the State tick
ct is probably Republican. Mr.. Hen
bricks runs ahead Of his ticket in almost
every county. The Republicans have a
majority of four in the Senate, and
eight in the II use Of Representatives
certain, with respect Of ten majority
in the Lower House. Later reports
from the Mint Congressional district
elect Shanks, Republican. This will
give the Republicans a net gain Of two
District Congressmen, and fair pros
pect of eleeting both the Congressman
at-Large. The counties not heard from
are Dubois, Perry and Stark, all Demo
cratic.
At eleven o'clock the Republicans
conceded the election of Hendricks by
five hundred majority, but claimed the
Congressman at Large, ,Lieutenant-Gov-
ernOT, and all the rest of the State ticket,
by four to six hundred majority. Nib
blacks majoritity in the First Congress
sionol district is over one hundred and
twenty-five.
Hunter, Republican, had a majority
overVoOhees, in the Sixth Congressional
district, of six hundred and five.
The Republicans have advertized q
mass meeting for tomorrow night Tor
congratuation, with Morton, General
Brown nd others as speakers.
The Republicans claim twenty-seven
Senators to twenty-three Democrats,
and fifty-five Republican to forty
five Democrats in the House, giving
them majority of fourteen on the
ballot.

sition building will be dedicated to-

Colonel Duncan K. McRae and Colo

The handsome and beautiful structure,
reared by the e1ertions Of our me-
chanics, in whom we take especial
pride, viii be brilliantly nlumina

We expect to see the grand and impos-
ing palace Of industry filed by the
people. The ladies especially, we hope,
viii grace the important occasion with
their presence. An orchestra viii
be on hand and discourse appropriate
music. As this Exposition building has
been erected st great expense for the
purpose Of fair exposition OF the in
dustries Of the city, our merchants
and business men should be especially
at pains to encourage it in every way
possible to them. It will bring thou
sands Of people to our city and hundreds
Of thousands Of dollars, and must be

NASHVILLE.
The News from Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Indiana-Its Effects Both Ways.
The Cheatham Reception on Saturday
johnson Played Out.

( Special to the Appeal
NASHVILLE, October 9, 1s72.-The
news from over the Ohio received here
has had a very diseouraging effect. We
bad confidently expected different re-
suits. There is however, one satisfac-
tory result to come out Of this unlocked
FOR disaster-itwill effectually kill Off the
independently and throw all the peo-
pie on one or the other side OF the line.
All the johnson men will now go to
Maynard, and all the Conservatives Of
the State, now numbering one hundred
and twenty thousand, will be CONSOLE
dated on Cheatham. We now see our
way clearly, and we know the enemy
we have to fight. Whatever danger
there may be must come from the
Maynard side Of this Congressional fight.
The demonstration in favor Of Cheat
ham on the occasion Of his reception
here on Saturday, the twelfth, is expect
ed TO be the grandest that ever occurred
here. The enthusiasm is great among
the people, and the determination is to
make Cheatham feel that he is among
his friends at his old home. He will be
received in a worthy manner. The
man who, as a youth, stormed the
nights Of Monterey with Campbell and
Anderson, Of Tennessee's "Bloody
First" who followed with unfinching
courage the fortunes Of his native State
in the late terrible war, and who now is
a man Of peace, seeking to heal the
wounds from which the country has so
long bled, will be received, as he de-
serves, with enthusiasm. Middle Ten
nessee loves to honor a man who is no
professional politician, but is in war
soldier, and in peace an honest farmer.
Governor Harris and Colonel Stephens,
Of Memphis, are invited and expected
on that occasion. Nashville now
has no use for independents
and disorganizers. His course |
through Middle Tennessee since !
he has crossed the mountains, has been |
a continual ovation. He was received |
with open arms, while the
murderer Of Mrs. suTratt found nothing
but the "cold shoulder Of the people
turned toward him. The revulsion Of
feeling and sentiment is astounding.
The people are becoming sensible.
Johnson has no friends, "none SO psOr
70 do him reverence" In the language
lf the sporting world, which acknow-
edge is more forcible than elegant, he
d "a dead cock in the pit" and the
question commonly asked on the street
s: "Who killed Cock Robin?" His
jisorgsnizing efforts had inspired the
with the hope that they could
ret a majority into the Legislature, and
hus control our State once, and begin
gain the nefarious work Of piling up
,ur State debt. Those hopes are now
frustrated. The straight ticket must
win, and all the nominees are bound to
work. for each other.

LITTLE ROCK.
The Bourbon Ticket OVerbOard-DOWn
She Comes.

Special TO the Appeal
LITTLE Rock, October l0.-General
Tappan has retired from the Bourbon
ticket, and so viii the balance. The
State was thoroughly eanvassed for sup
porters Of the new movement, but none
could be found worth speaking OF, and
so the colors have been hauled down.
Brooks is now certain OF election. The
fiasco Of the hunters who went to the
woods and caught nothing, only
strengthens him before the people, who
are determined to exert themselves more
than they ever before intended to do.
Everywhere the Democracy and Liber-
ais are a unit for their candidate. Now
that the malcontents have been defeat
ed, we feel assured OF victory. Brooks
will be liberal, and will make us a good
and faithful Governor. He is determin-
ed to be all he can, and all we expect.

AN OUTRAGE.
A Baptiht Meeting in North Carolina
Broken up BY United States
Soldiers.

From the wiimlnston n. c. Journal.l
The following letter, received last
night, comes from a gentleman Of the
very highest character and position, and
well known to US personally. His state
ment may be relied upon as strictly
true:
On Saturday, the twenty-flrst instant,
q great outrage was perpetrated in this
county by Officers and soldiers OF the
United States Government. While the
Kings Mountain Baptist Association, q
body representing over three thousand
communicate, was IN session at Beth
lehem Church, one Newton Long, a
Deputy United States Marshal and one
Archibald Moss, who seemed to have
some authority from Long, rode up, ac-
cOmpanied by a squad Of armed United
states soldiers, detailed from Colonel
Harts command in LincOlnton, sur
rounded the church and forbade the
people to leave. Long and Moss were
both drunk, and Long cursed and swOre
very freely. The proceedings Of the As
sOciation were completely broken up.
The pastor Of the church went out and
endeavored to persuade them to
leave, and on their refusing to
do so the Sheriff Of the county
arrested Long for ordisturbing the religious
assembly. The soldiers then cooked
their guns upon the Sheriff, and COM
manded Long to come out Efforts were
made 10 induce them 70 behave, and
they were promised they would not be
arrested for further violating the laws Of
the State and Of the United States II
they would quietly leave the church
grounds. They rode or in the direction
OF the spring, and many members Of the
Association returned TO the house, think
ing they were gone. But they soon re-
turned, and were galloping over the
church grounds with their guns and pis-
tolls, and broke up the Association that
evening. When the people started home
they found the roads picketed by sol
diers who were under Longs command,
and even women and children were ar
rested with guns pointed at them. and
compelled 70 wait the pleasure Of this
fellow Long, before they could get home.
Moss. am informed by an eyewitness,
cooked his pistol at a young lady who
was driving of in a wagon, and threat
ened TO shoot her II she didn't stop al
once. The whole proceeding was an
outrage upon religious liberty, perpetra-
/ tee by officers and soldiers Of the United
+ States Government The excuse they
rendered for their conduct was that they
/ were searching for one Mayberry, who
was charged with being kuklnx.

THE TEXAS BORDER.
Arrival Of COmissiOners at WASH
ingtOn-Substanee Of their In
TestigatiOns Of the Mexican
DepredatiOns.

WASHINGTON, October 10.-Colonel
Rabb, Of Georgia, and Mr.. Savage, of
California, two Of the commissioners
appointed by the President to take tes-
timony relative to the depredations on
the Rio Grande, having returned to
Washington to-day called upon Presi-
dent Grant and had along interview with
him. The President was much inter-
ested in the narrative Of these gentle
men, who will prepare a formal
report for transmission to Con-
gress. The incursiOAs by armed
MEXICAN bands into Texas
are numerous, and have continued ever
since 1853. They have, since that time,
driven cattle estimated TO be worth
several million dollars from Texas
across the river into Mexico, where their
plunder is sold to soldiers and citizens.
General Cortina, who is not at present
in active military service, but OR wait
ing orders, is represented to be a most
active instigator OF those incu1sions, by
which he largely profits. The Texans,
while endeavoring to drive away the
thieves, are sometimes killed by superior
numbers Of the Mexican bands, while
the latter suffer in turn.
Owing to these frequent incursions, the
border continues in state of eXcitment.
There is only one company of cavalry
on the frontier, which is Of little use
the distance which is re-
quired to be guarded-it being eight
hundred miles from the mouth of the
Rio Grande to the extreme American
Infantry is located at long
the distance being nearly three
hundred miles from Fort Brown to Ring
gold Barracks with only one camp inter-
Vening. Some Of the sufferers by the
Mexican raids travelled two hundred
miles to give their testimony, and eX-
pressed their qualification that prelIm-
nary measures had been taken, not only
