STRANGE DOINGs IN COUNTRY Town.
The Utica Herald relates the following as
having occurred in Cattaraugus county 4
respectable business man residing 10 COrt-
land county, was engaged to be married to
Young lady in Olean .Cattaraugus county
The wedding day was fixed and the guests
were assembled at the house of the yourg
ladY's parents. The groom was DELAYED
while en- route to 0lean, but be telesraphed
to the family to retain the guests until his
arrival, about three hours later than the
appointed time. 1t appears that a number
of the Young men OF Clean were enviOus of
the Cortland man, and did not like the idea
of stranger carrying his intended bride
away from them. rbey went to the depot
at the hour for the arrival of the train, met
the expectant groom, induced him to drink
drugged liquor. and when he had become
sufficiently intoxicated to suit their vile
purposes. he was presented 70 the bride, her
parents and the guests. The brides parents
ordered the groom from the house, and the
wedding festivities were broken up. Not
content with what they had done, the con
spirators employed FIVE or SIX negroes to
prepare a coat of tar and feathers and give
the groom ride upon rail. The victim
was taken back to the saloon. more liquor
was poured into him. and while the orgies
were going on the negroes appeared hustled
the insensible Cortland man out of doors,
spilled tar and feathers to his hair face,
and long whiskers, and then rode him upon
srsil. When the scoundrels had finished
their fiendish game the stranger was left to
himself. The facts we're subseq ucntly made

BUTLER IN A FIN.
He Is ShIrged with Lobbying q big
cotton Claim Through.

CINCINNATI, February 1S.-Ben But
Ter was shown up to-day in the United
States court of this city as having, while
q representative in 1865 6, taken five
thousand five hundred dollars from
Joseph FroursteiD, a rich merchant Of
this city, to get cotton claim of sixty
Thousand dollars opened up and speedily
allowed by the secretary Of the treasury.
The fact came ont in the course Of a suit
by John A. Willis, of Washington, an
attorney, to recover from Frounstein five
thousand dollars and interest on two
notes for this same work. Frounstein
first contracted with Willis and gave
him these notes. Then, learning that
Butler could put it through for him, he
gave him the money and went square
back on Willis. The defense set I'D that
the notes were given for corrupt pur-
pose and could not therefore be recog-
nized in law, aud Frounstein admitted
In his testimony that he went to Wash
lngton to use money to grease this
through, and that he had employed
Willis to use four Thousand dollars in
greasing the thing. Verdict for plaintiff
for iull amount Of notes and interest.

NEGROES ENGRAVING.
Kansas and Mississippi the FaVOrites-
In Search Of Civil Rights.
Nashville Banner.1

Nashville Banner.I
A hegira of negroes has set in for
Kansas and Mississippi. To some ex-
tent the drouth OF last season is suggest
ed as the cause of this sudden exodus
from locality where wheat promises
bountiful harvest this spring. About
five hundred blacks, coming from Giles,
Maury and Rutherford counties, passed
through here Ella the northwestern road
Friday for Kansas. 1t is said that hum
dreds more will follow them, but will
divide, some going to Mississippi and
Others to Kansss. Two cOloTed ministers
from Rutherford county were in the city
yesterday. They stated that not less
than two thousand negroes in that
county were contemplating departure
for the west and south. The most
harmful result to follow so great an ex-
odus Of farm labOrers is in the possibility
of not getting all the wheat harvested
The only means of supplying this loss of
labor will be the encouragement of the
immigration of white Iaborers and
farmers from other States. To do this
every inducement should be held out 10
promote an influx of whites from the
northern States and Europe.
