the result of the Cincinnati convention
became known, allowed all the spare

naturally partakes of hisI views in 4 po-
litical sense, and knowing Of his intense
admiration of the Graham bead phiIoeO-
96or, purchased one Of the new Greeley
fans the other day while out shopping,
and took it home to surprise her hus-
band. Owing to connival meeting that
,svesing, whore confusion to the Admin
istration was draSf in sparkling bump
ers of champaign6 BY Stringer and
few b3on COMPANIONS, the former did
not return to his happy home until
about midnight. His wife who had re-
tired,to bed at the usual hour, after fan
ming herself for an hour or two with her
purchase of the afternoon finally laid it
over on her spouse's pillow and dropped
Of to sleep. Stringer entered his house
without making any noise, took oil bis
boots, softly assembled the stair to his
wife's apartments, entered, and was
about to disrobe for the night when oh!
horrors, what sight met his slightly in
ebriatcd gaze! ThereJ reclining upon
his pillow, he saw the face Of bald.
headed, gray haired man, w56se flushed
features betokcned guilt Md'poorhquor.

cphant. He saw it all at glance. He
had entered so still that he had surprised
the scoundreI who had thus polluted his
home. His wife snored peaceful snorc,
and tina. angered him still more, and
without stopping to think whether he
was sufficiently insane or not, the miser-
able Stringer pulled out his pistol and
fired two shots through the head Of the
aged rascal. The noise awakened Mrs.
Stringer who shrieked, the gas was turn
cd up, and, with his thirst for blood still
unquenched, Stringer saw that he had
made an ass of himself He tried TO
make his wife believe it was . joke
that he had just wanted to have some
fun that he knew it was Greeley fan
when he first came into the room, and
was willing to stand anything to beat

not possess the requisite thickness, and
told a neighbor's wife, who attended the
sewing society the next day, and SO it
got out.-Clereland Leader.

"A Good Joke on Governor HERMAN.

ton, had talk with the Governor yes
terday.
Mr.. Beekman said he had voted the
Democratic ticket, and that he had fol.
lowed the party over some pretty rough
roads, but he didn't see how he could
vote for such shutting old woman as
Greeley. "Why, Governor" said Mr..
Beekman, "the old fool don't know
enough to attend to his own business he
is eternally letting some devilish fool
swindle him; and with such big over
grown child at the head, why, business
men wouldn't feel safe; he would want
to do some devilish foolish thing every
day"
But" interrupted the Governor, al
think Mr.. Greeley is a pretty good judge
of men. l think he can pick out an hon
est man or knave as quick rs any one.

"Why, there is Just where he is always
the biggest fool" continued Mr.. Beck
man.
"Never mind" said the Governor, al
would take his opinion on man to be
true quicker than would take any mans
in the country"
"You would ?" asked Mr.. Beekman,
feeling in a side pocket.
"Yes, I would" said the Governor,
firmly.
"Well, here is little slip where he
calls you mountebank and orrupt,
dishonest and swindling Democratic vii
lain" said Mr.. Bcckman, as he handed
and old Tribune editorial to the Gov
ernOr.
The Governor read it over twice, then
looked as if he was trying to see strai ght
through Mr.. Beekman, a row of car
riages, and a two feet brick partition
then he slammed down his hat and went
up stairs.

AMNESTY.

The opponents Of genera amnesty IN
tho United States Senate were successful!
on Friday last, in postponing vote Gu
the bill Of Mr.. Robertson, which, we
believe, is identical with that passed by
the House atthe last session. Dir. Rob
crtson's bill cXcents from its benefits
three classes of pcrs01s members o.
Congress who resigned their seats TO as
sist i'm the late civil war; officers OF the
old army ard navy who took part foi
the South in the war, and members OF the
secession conventions who voted 10" tie
ordinance Of secession. ..
IN amendment, upon the motion 0!
Mr.. Morton, WAS adopted by the Senate,
declaring that the benefits of the bill
should not attach 70 any person who, be-
inc DISQUALIFIED under the 18th Amend
1nent, had been elected to Congress prior
to the passage OF The bill. This Was
aimed at Governor Vance, Who had been

Much discussion arose on these amend

The Bowen DeLarge War.

To MY FRIENDS AND THE PUBLIC: L
respectfully desire to contradict the state
ment now current thatI have abandon
ell all claim to my seatiin Congress, and
have compromised with the contestant,
Hon. G. G. Bowen. Such statements, /
simply say, are false eand malicious. Be
lieving that I was duly and lcgitimately
elected to the scat I now hold, l intend
to defend my right thereto with all the
lawful means at my command. MY at
torncy, c. w. Butts, has periidiousiy
placed in the hands of A. c. Richmond
Clerk of the Court of General Sessions
and Common Pleas, for Charleston
County, (the warm friend and partl
san Of the contestant) the testimony
taken III my behalf, TO prove WhicN
fact I have the indisputable evidence
in the handwriting OF the atoTesaiG
attorney, who las since declared him
self the legal representative of tie con
testant, Hon. G. G. Bowen.
From the foregoing facts, my friends
and the public at large can well judge
whether or not would, under the cir
cumstances, voluntarily yield my right
to seat in the Congress Of the United
States. Very respectfully.

It has been judicially established in
the Massachusetts Supreme Court, by a
recent decision, that suicide is not a
crime. One John Dennis, it appears,
was arrested some months ago at .Wor-
ccstcr on complaint charging him with
the attempt to kill and murder him
self" The Superior Court found him
guilty, but the case was carried to the
Supreme Court, which has just decided
that there was. no guilt in Dennis's at
tempt to kill himself, on the ground that
the "provisions of the general statues,
in section of chapter 16S, which arc a
revision OF the whole law on the subject
of attempts, do not include attempts to
commit suicide" utsupposc Mr.. Den
mis- had succeeded in his attempt, how,
then, would the Commonwealth have

One ofthe largest planters Of the South
is Colonel G. b. Locket, of Georgia. He
has planted thisycar 5000 acrcs of cotton
and 5000 acres OF corn and small grains
At the lowest estimate his cotton crol
will sell for SlS0,G0O. Col. Locsct en-
ploys $50 hands, all black, and has nc
trouble with his help, whoarc orderly
and tolerably industrious. Throwing
out the value of the increase Of slaves, he
thinks that cotton can Eow be raised
more cheaply than before the war.
