Nordhof In pisRrsce.

lFrom the New orleans hepublican.1
The lively employee Of the New York H,r-
aid has fired an experimental shot into the camp
Of the Democracy, and his late admirers have
soured on him. A clap Of thunder could not
sooner turn pan of sweet milk than did Nord-
hof's Verona letter acidulate the Democratic
sentiment. But the correspondent of an Gin
dependent" paper, such as the New York Her.
aid claims TO be, is subject to such vicissitudes
and experiences very frequently. It Is the
fashion of these independent journals to abuse
everybody by turns as the easiest and best, II
not the only way they have Of proving their
character. When dispatch comes to Nord-
hof to "sail into Kellogg and the Louisiana
Radicals" he turns to the first ward hummer
he can find, and, after an interview, writes the
whole to the Herald as an authentic statement.
All this sort of invention is copied far and
wide in the Democratic papers with remarks
Of approval and comnendation. They accept
the whole story and claim the witness for their
own. But when the boss of the hireling
scribes asks for and receives chapter made
to order for the edifcation of his abolition read
ers there is wailing in the South. Mr.. Nord-
hof pretends to hs We found case Of undoubt-
ed human slavery in Verona, Mississippi. The
victim is young colored girl, Of course. The
abductors are pumber Of white citizens, aided
and Allotted by the mayor and justice Of the
peace. The fact thai Verona never had
mayor until Nordhoff created one for the oc-
casion goes for nothing, Of course. 1f
All the abolitionists of the North viii here
after credit the hitherto unheard-of place with
the possession of this civic functionary, and
they will believe the whole story Of the young
girl held in slavery as religiously as the North
ern Democracy believe that Kellogg has ruined
the whole South with high taxes. It Is as
true that Governor Kellogg has reduced taxes
as 1t is that Verona has no mayor and no slave
girl; but the town has not the means at hand
TO clear its character, which the Governor has,
and 1t win 90 down TO history as the Cite Of the
most outrageous barecoon in the South. There
Is no help for 1t, and Verona must suffer in
silence. The Bu1efia, which has heretofore
stood by Nordhof through thick and thin, and
watched his antics with pride and admiration,
characterizes his Mississippi fable as "mis-
take" We beg leave to object to this attempt
TO discredit your own witness, friend BtRs IN,
and Will wager Q pen point that the Verona
story Is as true as three fourths Of the Louisi-
ana testimony by the same author.
Let US apply thessmsxim, Ialxus In uno, ,falsss
IN omasbas, to all that Nordhof writes, and
believe everything he says which Is cohfrmsd
BY one or two credible witnesses. We shall
be pretty safe II we do this.

AND NOW the irrepressible press of Mis-
sissippi have consuming desire to see
Jefferson Davis oficiate as orator at the
coming Centennial of our natiou's birth.
They are laboring under the impression
that such selection would be of greater
value to constitutional liberty than ali the
trinmphs ever won on the CORY fields Of
fratricidal strife. No doubt of 1t. He
always has been, is, and perhaps ever win
be, q bright and shining bonanza to consti-
tutional liberty and free government but
four years Of interneclne war, and an op-
pressive national debt; and ten thousand
green cemeteries make the fact quite en-
phatic and noticeable that he was little
lteo extravagant when selected as the chief
exponent of secession principles to be once
more brought before the general public as
an instructor of political economy and ex-
FOUNDER of the principles of the Govern
ment which he sought to wreck.

AT THE celebration Of the Fourth by the
colored people ct Hillsdale. D. c.. Mr.. j.
M. LAngston and Hon. Fred. Douglass
made addresses, full reports Of which ap-
pear In other columns. Both these gentle
men are eminently qualified to speak for
the race TO which they belong. and their
no uncertain utterances on thepresent con-
dition of affairs should be read with care by
men Of all parties. They made Yesterday
the point from which they propose to
diverge from the beaten track so long pur.
sued, and with Declaration of Independ-
ence from the constituted keepers and
special guardians of their people, they step
boldly to the front as leaders, and give good
reasons for 80 doing. The movement Is an
important one. and its probable results will
doubtless cause much anxiety among the
thinking men of both races and all parties.

JEFFERSON DAVIS.

After their unsuccessful attempt to palm
of upon the public the rebel fraud of the
Mecklenburg Centennial as genuine af.
fair of history, it was reasonably supposed
that the defiant, unrepentant traitors of
of North Carolina would ale still and
slumber" for little while. and not seek to
attract public censure upon themselves by
q fresh and much more fragrant insult to
the decently loyal sentiment of the country.
But it seems this was too much to expect.
North Carolina has widely celebrated
institution Of learning known as Chapel
Hill University" where many of the youth
Of that State are to be educated, and on the
18th of June last the trustees met for the
purpose of electing 9 president Among
the trustees assembled on that occasion were
ex-Goy. Graham, who smiably remarked
once on time "the Ku-Klux murders
were species of wild justice, necessary
to proper regulation Of society,"" and
Gov. Vance and William L. Saunders,
Grand Cyclops OF the Ku-Klux Klan; Paul
G. Cameron, Kemp P. Battle and others
Of that same class of men, but not so well
known for their adherence to the lost
cause. Jefferson Davis was the first and
last choice Of the trustees for president and
came within one vote of an election, and 8
good majority would have been given him
but for the fact that he has been recently
elected president of college in Texas,
which can afford to pay him a larger salary.
Hoping to be able to make arrangements
for this the election was postponed. Jeffer.
son Davis is not proper person to instruct
the youth of this country in its history, its
government and obligations, and his sp-
pointment to such . position is menace
to the integrity of American institutions.

take occasion to say that the statement is
strictly true. The evident intent Of the

THE Worlds Washington correspondent
says that "there are dark rumors afost
affecting certain prominent Treasury
"oflcials in connection with the late
" whisky frauds, which 1t is expected will
develop themselves very SOON" This is
all humbug. The writer of the above has
either been "wooled" by some one or else
he knew that he was writing what was
false. The Secretary is well aware that
the paragraph in question was instigated
by one OF the ex-revenue officials Of the
West, who is now under indictment for
completely with gigantic frauds on the Treas
ury, who was here few days ago using
every endeayor in his power to get himself
accepted as witness for the Government
Having been unsuccessful in those efforts,
he appointed loeVna teneRs here to SANDER
those of the Treasury officials whom he
fancied were influential in defeating his
object. The paragraph above quoted
is the first effort OF that agent
in the service of his employer. Covert
as it is designed TO be, it is yet quite suffi-
cient to expose his game, and will only
strengthen the determination of the De-
partment to hold him firmly to the position
Of defendant in the case in which he has
been indicted. Private advices from st.
Louis confirm the belief that the whisky
ring of that city is one of the most forrni-
dable, and that those officials connected
with it who are now under Indictment were
by no means the least important and active
members of it. They will no doubt be
prosecuted to the bitter end. and made ex-
smples of as warning to all others who
may be subjected to similar temptations.

The Governor of Massachusetts,, duly

the Governor of Massachusetts,, duly
indorsed by Gov. Kellogg, for the
body ofone George Otis Coney charged
with the embezzlement of several
thousand dollars from the wholesale
grocery house of Cobbs, Bates & Yerxa
of Boston. This document was prompt
II recognized and the prisoner placed
in charge Of the detectives, who at
once set off for New Orleans, by way
of the jackson railroad, taking the
train a. Amite station. On Tuesday
last, officer Honghton, accompanied
by the calprit and his brother, started
for Boston, and the Sunny South will
probably see no more Of George Otis
Coney, ESQ.,, the genteel embezzler
and high toned horse thief.
It appears that Coney and his broth
er were both employed by the firm
above named when the former pur-
b
Joined $4,000 or $4,000 of his employ
ers' funds. He left Boston about six
weeks since, came South, spent nearly
all his money, and stole the horse and
buggy to replenish his exchecquer!
When arrested, he telegraphed to his
brother to come on and secure his re-
lease, and the latter promptly re-
sponded. This telegram came under
the notice Of Messrs. Cobbs, Bates e. /
Yerxa, who dispatched a detective
after the runaway. The officer ar
rived in Clinton scarcely an hour be-
hind Coney's brother, and nabbed the
object of his search as above stated.
Bye-bye, Georgy!
