CIVIL RIGHTS,
An Ohio Girl ElOpeth with an East
Tennessee Negro.
Tscy Gene 80 Grief in the station.
House at Nashville.

From the Union and American, 1lth.l
The Chief Of Police of this city re-
ceived q telegram yesterday afternoon
from Wilmington, Clinton county, Ohio,
stating that a liberal reward would be
paid for the arrest of a negro boy about
eighteen years of age and a white girl
two or three years his junior, who had
left that place in company last Monday.
Officers Foley, Pitts and Bolton set about
to work up the case, and at 1890 this
morning arrested the pair at the Harding
House, negro hoIel on Cherry street,
where they had engaged a room and
stopped for the night.
Upon being brought to the station
house, both the prisoners manifested
considerable uneasiness, and the young
lady at first shed tears, but afterwards
became more calm. Her name is Hat
tie Budduck, and she is apparently about
sixteen years old. She seems to have
been reared in respectable society, has a
pleasant countenance and converses in
diligently. She was neatly attired in q
black silk dress, striped shawl and set
Of furs She says her father is farmer,
living near the town mentioned above,
and is in easy circumstances. She met
the negro at the house of school-mate,
and they started for his home in Blount
county, Tenn. She left her parents with
the intention of marrying him, and says
she loves him as well as she could love
any man.
The negro, whose name is James Bow
erman, had lived with her father for
three years, and the family all thought q
great deal of him. She sometimes
thought she had done wrong, and then
again she would come to the conclusion
that she did not care. She had been. in
duced to leave home on account of treat
ment received at the hands Of her mother.
Her sister had told their mother things
about her that caused her to be harshly
treated.
The negro is near twenty years Of age,
stammers badly in conversation and
does not seem to be much enamored of
his fair companion, stoutly denying
having had any intention 10 marry her.
He says be had nothing to do with in
ducing her to leave home; that she left
Of her own accord. The girl and her
colored attendant brough large basket
and valise with them, which were
deposited at the police headquarters.
A dispatch vas sent TO the young
lady's father notifying him Of the arrest.

TEMPERANCE CRUSADE DIS
TURBANCE AT CINCINNATI,

The crusade movement, which has
been kept up pretty steadily in Cincin-
natl, received sudden check, Friday.
On Thursday, a beer-wagon driver, who
had forced his way through the band of
women, was arrested and fined. This
seemed to irritate the crowd greatly, and
about 500, the majority Germans, gath
cred, Friday, around the band of women
as they started out, about o'clock, and
pressed upon them, using insulting Ian
guage. Only one policeman was on hand
who requested the women to return to
the church, as he would be unable to
protect them The women said God
would protect them, and expressed de-
termination to 60 on. When the women
sang or prayed the crowd struck I'D a
chorus drowning their voices. Soon af
ter this the crowd pressed on the women
and commenced swaying in mass, and
one old lady was thrown headlong inte
the street. but not injured. Fighting
commenced in the crowd and a reporte,
OF a German paper was struck seyera
times and finally driven away. The wo
men, hnding no other way possible, es
capped from the crowd one bv ana an,
returned to the church. No arrests wer
made, but warrants will be sworn on

ANOTHER CANDIDATE.-The Manches-
ter Journal raises at the head of its ed
itorial columns, the name of A. L. Mi
ner of Manchester, for Governor, and in
an article on the question, says
Mr.. Miner has been more or less in
public life for nearly forty years, and
served In almost every capacity in town,
county and state as well as in the Ma
tional Congress, and has always filled
every position to which he has been call
ed with honor to himself and to the sat
isfaetion of his constituents. At our last
term of court, Judge Wheeler made the
remark that Mr.. Miner had spoken more
in public than any man now living in
the State, which is, no doubt, true. and
he has generally been on the right side
ready to assist in every good work. L
the Changers Wish man who is incor
ruptible and unconnected with politica
rings, they cannot do better than vott
for Mr.. Miner. Though not farme
himself, there is not a farmer in th,
State more honest than he, and he woul,
bring to the Office of Governor that ex
perIence and ability which could not fai
to add dignity to the Office.

The extraordinary fraud or remarka-
Bile antiquity, the Cardiff Giant, has
turned up again. The Boston Herald
having stated that the aforesaid Giant
had been sold in New Orleans for the
insignificant sum of SIS. the proprietor
of the Giant has brought an action to
recover considerable damages. He says
that the Giant has not been sold in New
Orleans or anywhere else for IS or any
other money-that he is now and has
long been in Fitchburg, Massachusetts,,
that he is worth ,OO0-that he is
not fraud, but sd colossal monolith'
that purchaser for $4,000, scared
by this newspaper article, has backed
out-that he, the proprietor of the afore
said Giant, has thus suffered great loss

The Hotchnadn contradicts that the
report of Washington correspondent,
that Judge Poland is among the appli-
cants for the seat upon the bench of the
Court of Claims, made vacant by the re-
cent death of Judge Milligan. It says !:
We speak entirely upon general princi-
pies when We venture to assert that there
is no truth in the report; for We know
that several years ago. when the Chief
,justieeship of the same court was vacant.
President Grant rendered him Judge
p the position. which be respectfully
declined: and if he would refuse the
highest place on the bench, we are sure
he IS not now seeking for the lowest.

IMPORTATION WANTED.

The people need information on the
following things, viz; On the border
line of our Canadian frontier. men erect
grocery shops which are also liquor sa-
looms. These persons obtain license in
Canada to sell three gallons or more of
liquor, but not to retail the same. They
obtain no license whatever, of any kind
from the authorities on this side. Mean
while they sell in quantities and by the
glass to our citizens. And this is the
way it is done The shop stands astride
of the line, which is made to run straight
through the middle of the counter. The
seller with his bottles, glasses, etc.,
stands in Canada, the buyer with his
jug and money stands in the State. The
liquor is poured out and set down on the
Canada side. the money for it is laid
down on the same counter on this side.
The buyer reaches across. grasps the
glass, pulls it to his side and drinks 1t;
the seller grabs the money and pulls 1t
across the line into his drawer. In this
manner illegal liquor traffic, with eter-
nal drunkenness, is kept up on our bor-
der from year to year. Under this ne
farious method or system of evasion and
lodging, it is impossible to restrain the
traffic in any of our border towns. From
three to five of these groceries are found
on the border of Champlain. One of
them has been known to sell to over fif-
ty persons in very few hours. Another
boasted of having sold $50 worth of in
toxicating drinks before noon on New
Years Day. The tramp of men towards
them and the stream OF rum from these
is constant They render No License
efforts in Champlain. Alburgh. etc, al
most practically imperative. Now, Is
there no way to reach and break up
these vile. doubly guilty operators ?
How can it be done? Isitnot the busl-
ness of the Government and its officers
to at once forbid the custom of thus put
ting grog shop directly on the line
Groaning humanity, overridden and
flooded with rum and drunkenness on al
our frontier, demands an instant and eff
fectual remedy. Whose duty and bust
ness is it to move at once ?-T. a

General Grants opinion in favor of
decorating the graves of Coufederates
as well as of our own soldiers, is credit
able to his humanity and common sense.
Of course, the intrinsic value of his iudg-
ment in the matter is not greater than
that of many others but his position as
leader of our armies and his frmness in
the rebuke of rebellion, alike in the
Cabinet and in the field, give peculiar
weight to his opinion, which we are glad
to see thrown on the side of magnanimi-
ty and moderation 1t is high time that
even the appearance of luminosity should
be dismissed from our councils toward:
those who have become our fellow-eiti.
