THE IRONCLAD RISES TO EXPLAIN.
All about the hes'SkeIetOn''-AnI Imaginary
Smell, sir-This, and Nothing More.

There having appeared in the Ara-
lanehe of last Friday morning a high
Iy-colored sensational article, purporting
to give the particulars touching the dis
covery of human skeletons, hid
away amid the dismal confines Of secret
closets connected with the house on Winches-
ter street occupied by me as a residence, and
which house is familiarly known, in vulgar
parlance as ''the Ironclad." l deem IL proper,
in the exercise OF my legitimate prerOgative
as an "unfOrtunate female citizen" Of this
commonwealth, to "rise and explain" In a
spirit of unassumed modesty, and with de-
gree of candor which, trust, will not fail to
generate a conviction of the truth of nay un-
pretending utterances, 1 must be permitted to
say that the tale of the skeletons so gTaphi-
cally told by the smelling man Of the great ~
ApdldRche is a ''shadOwy freak of a ghoStly
imagi nation" No skeletons, human or other
kinds, have been found in, on, under or about
"the tronclad." The worthy Chief of Police
of the city of Memphis and his expert assis
tauts, as soon as the noise about the skeletons
was heard, instituted q search of the premises,
which reached from ''cellar to DOME" and 1
appeal to them TO testify to the truth of my
assertion that no ghostly remains of departed
humity'' met their gaze, or gdzeS, as the case
may be. The whole thing was the result of
an 'imaginary smell, sir" calculated, II un-
denied, perhaps, to throw around me the sus-
picion of being an assassin.
This is by no means the first time the AUG-
IdHche has been detected in the attempt to
make a thing out of dead mems bones. In
this instance the bones were gotten up for the
occasion, without reference to style or expense.
In my own vindieatiOn, am, respectfully,
FRANK GORDON.

The angel with the amaranthine wreatf

wings, leaned over her and laid il lightly OIL
her sunny hair. A few short weeks, and We
would have garlanded her brow with the
laurel both our love and justice awarded unte
her. But death bore her away, and the frail
perishable honors we would have offered hel
are exchanged for the incorruptible crown
and shining robe Of the redeemed.
Another glittering link has been added Il
the chain binding US TO Heayen-a link made
strong by her beautiful faith and trust, made
bright by her love and truth.
Her nature, so brave and gentle and tender
endeared her to us with more than the ordi
nary ties of classmates; but, in our sorrow, w
know that He who doeth all things vel
transplanted our pure, stainless lily on higf
only that the remembrance Of its fragrance
may serve to draw us to the garden Of eterna
happiness, now her home.
Beyond the clouds and stars, beyond tbs
reach of sorrow or strife, over on the colder
shores where flows the River Of Life, she
stands. glorified spirit, calling to us with hel
tender voice, praying for us, and ready t
welcome us home at last.
Oh, the little birds sang east,
And the little birds sang west:

And I said, in under breat",
All our life is mixed with death,
And who knoweth which is best?
Oh, the little birds sang east,
And the little birds sang west:

And paused to think Gods greatness
Flowed around our incompleteness;
Round our restlessness, His rest.

4 WASHINGTON special TO the st.
Louis Rg,5ablicaa SAYS that the sigma
tUre of Geneval SchUrz's', name to the
call for a conference Of the opponents
of Grant, TO be held at New York on
the twenty-secend instant, has provoked
much comment, some persons suppos-
ing that it indicated opposition on his
part TO the Cincinnati ticket, and the
Democratic opponents Of Greeley and the
partisans or Grant have taken some
comfort from this announcement. These
speculatiOns are, Bowever, unfounded.
II is positively certain that General
Schurz, the night before he left thiscity,
declared his purpose to support Mr..
Greeley, aud also stated that he would
address the liberal Convention to be
held shortly at Springfield, Illinois, in
behalf Of the Cincinnati platform and
nominee. He viii go to the conference
in New York in no unfriendly spirit to
Mr.. Greeley, but with the object of re-
moving the difficulties and objections
which some others entertain.

THE COMING COTTON CROP.
Synopsis OF the Report TO be Issued in
June from the Department Of Ag-
riculture at Washington.

WASHINGTON, June 17.-The follow
ing is a synopsis of the statement Of
area and condition of the present crop,
which will appear in the June report of
the Department of Agriculture. An
increase in the cotton area is
reported in every State, and very
small proportion of the county returns
show decrease Of acreage. The plant
ing was generally retarded by protracted
seasons of drouth, and the fields that
were planted late have occasioned some
trouble in Obtaining stands; bat the re-
cent rains and renewed efforts in
replanting have finally secured stands.
The average completeness of the per
centage of the increase in the area of
last years crop being the basis of COM
paTison, is as follows: North Carolina,
sixteen; South Carolina, nine; Georgia,
twelve; Florida, ten; Alabama, eleven;
Mississippi, ten; louisiana, eleven I;
Texas, eighteen; Arkansas, sixteen;
Tennessee, twelve. The average in
crease throughout the cotton States will
approximate thirteen per cent. Texas
has naturally made the largest relative
increase, not only having enjoyed fa-
vOrable season for planting, but also,
during the past year, having re-
ceived accesslons of immigrants,
who are cotton planters. The con-
ditiOn of the plant throughout the cotton
section is very nearly a full average
Separating the Atlantic from the more
Western States, the former stand lit
tie below the average, while the latter
are fully up TO the standard
Of a fair condition. The drought which
prevailed in the month of April and
first half may be delayed in growth,
and cold nights, in the more northern
belts, had a further retardlng effect, but
the abundant rains and genial tempera-
ture which followed, have wonderfully
invigorated and advanced the crops.
The following figures represent the
condition Of cotton in the several States,
100 standing for the average: North Car
Olina, 50; South Carolina, %; Georgia,
SO; Florida, 95; Alabama, 105; Missis-
sippi, 100; Louisiana, l04; Texas, 100;
Arkansas, 9S; Tennessee, l0l.

GOVERNOR WARMOTH.
He Defines his Position Refuses the
Republican Nomination for Cover
nor, and Withdraws from the
Party.

Governor Yarmouth, of Louisiana,
declining the nomination for Governor,
rendered him by Grant convention,
says:
It now appears to be the intention of
the majority of the members Of the con-
ventiOn, on its re-assembling at Baton
Rouge, TO attempt an alliance with the
Customhouse party, which is to meet at
that place on the same day, for the pur-
pose of re-uniting with those whom
consider the most dangerous enemies of
the country and the State, with the ar
rogant dictatorial and corrupt admins
tratiOn Of General Grant, and with the
party which, under the leadership of his
followers and agents, would subject this
State TO continuance of rule of ignO-
rance, Yenality and corruption, unpar-
alleled in the history of any other COM
munity. The success of General Grant
at the ensuing Presidential election
would be calamity such as cannot be
contemplated without alarm. 1t would
be the perpetuatiOn, perhaps the
permanent establishment of personal
government in its worst form. Itwould
be the commencement Ofimperialism in
politics, and the utter and hopeless
degradation of political morality. 1t
would be the continuance. of an 0dious
executive and legislative tyranny which
tramples with equal indifference upon
the rights OF persons and of commune
ties; which Overturns all the muniments
Of public liberty, and drags thousands of
peaceable citizens to the common Jail on
a false pretence of secret conspiracy I;
which uses the bayonets of its sOldiery
TO Overawe a convention of the people,
and prostitutes the courts of the country
and the officers of the law to the service
OF an audaciOus attempt to overthrow
the government of a State.
1t was in order to avert these evils and
to join in the general protest against
these infamous acts, as well as to save
this State from the further depredations
of the ring of Federal officials who have
persistently used their personal and po-
litical power TO suborn and corrupt the
Legislature, that l went to Cincinnati
and participated in the nomination of
Greeley and Brown. 1t is with the view
of assisting to prevent the triumph in
this State of a party whose success would
ill the Legislature with the representa-
tives of organized ignorance and un-
blushing venality; would cause irrepara-
trievably ruin our credit, and bring con-
tempt and scorn upon even the benefi-
cial results Of Republican policy, and
upon the whole scheme of Republican
reconstruction, that l have resolved to
devote all my energies to the service of
the Liberal Republican party and the
allies who may act with it in this con
test.
] again thank the convention for the
honor conferred upon me, and trust that
you will communicate to them the re-
grets which l feel in finding myselfcom-
PEELED to seperate from the friends who
have so long and so faithfully sup
ported me.
Very respectfully your obedient ser
want, II. c. WARMoTH.
