The Fate ofthe Renegade.

The day of retribItion comes
slOwly-but it comes. Here is one
example. which We may well term
''The Fate of the Renegade:''
BrOwnlOw looks to-day like a
man from the wrecked ship of "a
past generation, lingering here
awaiting death. For years he has
been afflicted with a terrible shak-
ing palsy, from the horrors of which
he finds no relief LOcOmOtIon with
out aid is an impOssibility, and he
cannot even lift a cooling draught
of water to his thin, blush, tremb-
ling lips. His thin, pinched face is
sallOw and wrinkled, and the only
evidences of life about his whole
being are found in the eyes, which
retain some of their b.illiancy, and
are restless and eager as those of a
hungry hawk. He talks seldom,
and but little at a time, even then
in whisper, to catch which yon
must incline your ear close to his
American citizen. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1864-1890, 1873-10-18
Kate Stoddard Indicted.

The Kings county Grand Jury

i!ering Charles Goodrich. 1t is ru
mored that Lucette Meyers has con.
fessed that she and Roscoe were in
the house on the night of the muir
der. That she heard a shot and a
dull fall. Goodrich said, go, dOn't!'
and second shot was fired. 81
heard some one rush into the room,
and then a third shot was fired. /
saw Kate kneeling over Mr.. Good
rich, and wiping the blood from his
face with a handkerchief or towel.
The instant 1 entered 1 was con-
frOnted by Roscoe. who grasped me
by the shoulder. He said, what
are you doing here I've a-goOd
mind to shoot You on the spot.
Now go! go and mark my words,
fyou ever drop one word of this I'll
put a bullet through you" He had
a pistol in his hand. l slipped to
the front door and half walked and
ran to the ferry, and there l found
Beach waiting for me. l remem-
bered as [ turned to leave Good
rich's house seeing Kate wiping the
blood from his face, and hearing
her cry like child.n
We never believed Kate StOddard
was the guilty party, bnt suspected
this man Roscoe from the first pub

figured.

intellectual performances of these
distinguished foreign divines, yet
we have seen nothing fIOm any OF
them that will compare favorably
with the pulpit efforts of Rev. DIR
Il. NJ. Palmer, of New Orleans
Bishop George Il. Pierce, of Georgia
and other able and eloquent South
ern divines whom we might men
ton. Their eloquenoe does moi
seem, at this distance, to carry with
it that divine JUNCTION which charac
terizes the discOurSes of the emf
nent orators above mentioned, and
which never fails to direct the
mind of the listener to that exalted
source from whence their reverent
souls draw their purest, hottest in
spiratiOns. We have heard them
on occasions when their solemn,
impressive utterances, burdened
with the sanctions of an unveiled
eternity a, d the interests of a re-
vealed immortality, seemed to carry
the souls of their hearers, as it
were: into the very presence-cham-
Der of the Most High. There is
nothing of this in any of the notes
we have read still there is much
in them to admire, and much that
is well calculated to advance the
cause of christianity.
While reading the accounts of
the various meetings held by this
ecclesiastical body, we were not a
little astOnished to observe the great
want of sOlemnity and reverence
that characterized them. Scarcely
a speaker Of any note was permitted
to deliver his discourse without fire.
quent Interruptions by the members
and the audience, and which, ill
some instances, were representa- d as
and uprOarious," That
Difference which should
be paid to the house of worship,
and especially to those who are call
I'd of God to unfold the doctrines of
His Gospel to erring humanity,
seems to have been lost sight of in
New York. Such conduct would
10 well enough in a theatre, where
It is fashionable, and even proper,
% applaud the merits of an actor,
out it is wholly ont of place in the
church of Christ. This thing Of
the tribute of applause to
very minister whose eloquent ut
erances carry away captive the
minds and hearts of his hearers, is
Jew feature III christian worship,
nd one that does not compOrt with
ur idea of the solemnity and sane
ity that should attach to such re-
giOus exercises, and which, we are
lad to know, does not obtain in
he South.

Those who propose to follow

the Jews have been among the
