BAD RETURN.-In the sercnnl.
given to Mr.. Sumner, in Washington, o
few nights ago, by his oolored friends,
III honor OF his civil rights efforts, it ap-
pears, that several articles of property
belonging to the philanthropcal public
iunctlonary wero appropriated by some
OF those who assembled to do him ho-
nor. Such proceeding would seem to
be neither civil nor right. In Washing
TOP, the population Of all colors seems to
be somewhat mixed. With MIR. Sum-
ner, however, Washington is a fuvoritc
held for civil as we'll as other expert
ments, and q somewhat heterogc
class Of the new citizens seems to have
gathered there, possibly with the view
OF being eXpcrlmented upon. Whether
the Massachusetts Senator likes to be
experimental upon in the appreciation
exhibited during the late serenado Of
his valuables as we'll as himself, is not
quite 80 certain. Our Washington cor
respondent represents him rs very much
exercised over the ingratitude of some
OF his admirers. 1t is an ungrateful
world.
The greatest herilsmnn in the world
is the title claimed for Samuel w. Allen.

forty wide, between the nevada and

continent, which pastures 12O, 600. Two
others accommodate, respectively, TO-.
600 and $4,000. These cattle all sub
sist on tho native grassey OF part Of
Texas. His herds require the attention
of at least 400 herders and branders.
and the use of 5000 horses. He brands
GO. O00 calves every year to keep up the

IMPORTANT DECISION IN A BOND CASE.
At Raleigh. N. g., on the 2l instant,
Judges Bond and Brooks, of the Circuit
Court OF the United States. refused to
grant an Injunction against the State
treasury in the suit of Alfred Self and
other special tax nd-holders vs. Da-
vid A. Jenkins, Public Treasurer of
North Carolina. The following ia the
decision of Judges Bond aud Brooks:
"We are of opirion that bona Gie
holder OF bond issued under the Acts
In question is not precluded from re-
ceivlng the amount of his debt, because
tho fact is that, at the time Of issuing
his bond, the State bonds were not at par,
nor by reason of the non fulfullmeut of
any Of the previous conditions imposed
upon the Legislature before it issued
the bonds. 1t is sufficient, we think, if
the power to issue the bonds il given,
and was exercised by the Legislature,
and not the purchaser, to see to the full
fillment OF the conditions imposed upon
the exercise of it's power. We are OF
opinion, however, that it is not shown
in this case TINT nny irreparable injury
is likely to occur to the complainant by
reason Of any proposed action of de-
fendaht, and we shall, therefore, refuse
the Injunction prayed for, and let the
complainant await whatever relief be
may be entitled to after final hearins."
Yesterday afternoon, little after /
o'clock, j. Edgar Thompson, ESQ, Pre-.
sident of the Pennsylvania Central

Tlchborne-Chicago Claim on the
Claimant.

The Tribune will publish tomorrow
the following letter from John Crowley,
a resident of Springfield, ILL.,, to a gentle
man in this city.
"Dear Sir: I see there is an English
man, q MIR. Whalley, member of parli-
ament, arrived in New York for the pur-
pose of collecting money in this Itch.
borne case in England. l want you, if
you please, to find out by some means
where this Mr.. Whalleyis stopping in
New York, and then to write to him and
tell him he can get more information
from me about Tichborne than he can
get IN all England, if he wants it. Don't
neglect to attend to it at once"
The gentleman to whom the letter is
addressed. says Crowley is veterinary
surgeon of large practice, and more than
ordinary intelligence, every way consld-
cred to be trustworthy and his word re-
liable. He is quite sure he can either
prove or disprovc the identity of the
claimant with Sir Roger Tichborne, be-
cause of his personal knowledge of the
original and genuine Sir Roger. AT the
time that Sir Roger was stationed with
his regiment at Cahir Barracks, Crowley s
mother kept hotel at Closher, Ireland,
which was resort Of Sir Roger and his
intimate friends.
Crowley was then young man given
to field sports and studying to qualify
himself for the profession of veterinary
surgeon. Sir Roger was very poor
horseman and he employed Crowley to
give him instructions. They were much
together. boon companions day and
night, and there is little doubt if one can
identify another, then Crowley will be
able to say whether the claimant is, or is
not the genuine Sir Roger.

the best two mile time on record, by
two seconds, 3:34l having stood in the
front fromerly, made by Lyttleton, at
Lexington, KY, on the 23d Of May,
1871. True Blue being by Lexington
makes it all in the family this time.
That Chamberlain (True Blues own
er) has cavorted about in consequence
and felt happier than speckled steer
in a corn field, you can we'll imagine.
But he's not here now. Though he
won $4,000 on the race, he had to
open 80 much wine, and found so many
friends anxious to borrow money of
him, that he left for Long Branch next
day, anxious never again to make the
"best time on record" as long as he
lives.

One might naturally suppose that the
boys of Boston would not enjoy less grave
and dignified authors than Schopenhauer
and Emerson. Doubtless the majority
do thus amuse themselves, but we regret
to say that one degenerate son OF Massa-
chusetts has the vulgarity to read the
history Of Robinson Crusoe, and having
read it, and furthermore having liked it,
like any common little New York boy,
he took it into his head to rival the inge-
nious hero. With pleasing sensations he
read that Robinson had habitually de-
!iciouS menu Of mutton and raisins.
Those raisins facinated him. They seized
his fancy his fancy and dwelt in his i'm
agination, while the mutton faded into q

saved his pocket money. Not a cent did
the heather get from him, not penny
did he contribute to the :. society for the
cultivation Of intelligence in Boston,
1t last he saved enough TO buy two
pounds of the beguiled raisens. On the
following Saturday he refused the matu-
tinal mackarcl and brown bread, and
camped out with lofty hcroism in the
attic, gracefully wearing an old fur cape
and pair of fur mittens. A.. was bliss

Mennonite delegations who have

Nebraska, for the purpose of selecting
homes for some $4,000 Of their coun-
trymen who propose to emigrate to
tho new world, have completed their
work and are about to return to Rus
sia. 1t is not yet known with certainty
what place of settlementhas been fixed
upon by them; but the ST. Paul Press
has reasons for surmising that the
Mennonites upon their arrival in this
country will separate. and that the
destination of the poorer classes among
them will be some point in Manitoba,
as the Canadian government has made
them very liberal offers as an induce
ment to their immigration thither.
Those of moderate means will fix upon
Minnesota, while the wealthy Of their
numbers will settle in the pasture lands
of Nebraska, where they will devote
themselves extensively to the pursuit
of sheep growing. There is already a
colony of Lutherans from Russia
settled in the latter state. These peo

they are to be forced TO military duty.

THE LONG AGO.

There is a beautiful isle in the long ago,
All flooded with golden light
And a river that flows by the evergreen shere
Whose waters are wondrOus bright;
There's bark which glldes with snowy sail,
And the dip OF the silver oar,
And carries back 10 the shining gates
OF that beautiful past once more;
All! every heart holds some sweet cream
OF the days that have gone before.
There were bright hopes nursed In the long ago,
Sweet Hagers were gathered there, 10 Z.
Aud the walls ofthe beautiful past were hung,
With many an image fair,
And oh there is room for the feet TO tread,
This path of the by-gone years
There are joys that bloom In memory's fields,
And fount for our bitter tears,
And a grave in which We have garnered up
All the old time hopes and fears.
There are beautiful dreams the heart holds d'ar,
Bright dreams OF the long ago,
And sacred tears for the perished hopes
That will never rcturn-ah no!
And thus in the iangled web Of life
We weave ouy smiles and our tears,
Yet the soul has its holy memOry's
That cling to the parted years
All drop the silten curtain now
Oer the old time hopes and fears.
Shut out the sight Of the long ago,
:. Close the doors of the past again;
And stife the yearning thoughts that fill
The bosom with So much painy
Then roll the ponderous stone against 49,
The tomb that is dug in the heart, '-
For why should these buried forms once more
To life and beauty start?
The future NAV hold some dream as bright
That will not soon depart. ~

CHICAGO AND AUGUSTA.
The Railroad Meeting in Abbeville-
Proposed Route from Chicago to the

Proposed Route from Chicago to the
Sea.
A convention was held at Abbeville,
G. II. on the 18th instant, in the interest
of what is known as the Chicago railroad.
Gen. McGowan, of Abbeville. having
been called to the chair, stated the object
of the meeting to be the connection by
railroad of Chicago, Illinois, and the
south atlantic board.
On the organization of the convention
there were found TO be present delegates
from eight counties of South Carolina
Oconee, Pickens, Anderson, Abbeviile,
Edgefeld, Aiken, Barnwell and Beau
fort, and representatives from Grcenville,
Tennessee, and from North Carolina.
The subject was freely discussed and
two reports submitted by the committee
appointed for that purpose as to the line
of the road One report, submitted by
Hon. j. p. Reed, of Anderson, rs chair
man. proposed, after crossing the Blue
Ridge, to run the road by way of Wal
halla, Pendleton, Anderson, Abbevile
and Dorn's Mine, thence to Augusta BY
the proposed Greenwood aud Augusta
road, or via Edgefeld and Aiken to A.
lendale on the Port Royal railroad, the
route below Dom's Mine TO be deter
mined by the material aid offered By the
two points.
The other report differed in but little
else than Leaving Augusta, Georgia, out
in the cold. The representatives from
EdgeGeld, Aiken, Barnwell and Beaufort
opposed Mr.. Reeds project, which was
ably advocated by that gentleman. a
report was finally adopted containing an
amendment by Major w. I. Gary, of
Edgefeld, which virtually laid aside the
proposition of the Anderson delegation,
and took up the second report, so framed
as to propose that the road run by Edge
field and Aiken, thence to Augusta by
the most practicable route.
After the passage of the usual reso!u-
tions of thanks to the citizens Of Able
vile for their hospitality, &c, the con-
yertion adjourned, charleston Ne'os.
