The abandonment of the French steamship
L'Amerique, and its salvage by the British
steamers Spray and Barry, were matters of
comment last spring. 1t was regarded as mar
velous that the Captain, crew and passengers
should abandon her under the supposition
that she was sinking, when not leak was
visible. The salvors of the big prize lowed
her into Plymouth, where the owners claimed
her Cargo and ship were worth a round mil
hon, and the company was anxious to wrest
1t from the grasp OF the captors, who claimed
salvage of one-third of the value. The
official appraisement in the High Court of Ad.
milalty was S750,OOO, but the award of sal
wage was only S150,0O0. The owners ap-
pealed to the Privy Council and succeeded in
having the amount reduced to $4,000, the
price Of an Incompetent seaman.

It would also be matter OF public interest
to know what has been done with Alexander
Newton, tle man who assassinated Mr. Bour-
danois simply because he was a member of
the White League, asserting few minutes
before he committed the crime he intended
to xii! White Lacquer before bed time that
night, or words to TIL, effect. 1t is also ru-
mored that this man is or was in the pay of
Kellogg. This murder il also in Sherdan's
unfortunate thirty five hundred And thus
1t Is IN three-fourths Of the cases. respectable
Democrats are murdered by paid Radical as
sassins. and then, to hide their own infamy.
the Radicals magnify these acts into Demo
cratic murders. Yea, verify they are Demo-
murdered Let such acts of lawlessness as
this be sifted to the bottom by Mr. Sheridan
and then let him ask his own conscience. if
he has any, who are the banditti. -Baton

And now we learn from Senator Logan's
speech in Congress, delivered on Tuesday,
that Col. Jack Brown, of Georgia, has written
a letter making complaints that the Demo-
Gratis Of this State called him "a hog" because
he affiliated with the Republicans in the last
election. The reader will remember that Col
Brown, in accepting the Radical nomination,
said that it was a ground hog case" with
him-he was fit for nothing else but Con-
gresham, and must have the office TIE
Democrats did twit him about the ground
hog, and we joined them in it, but We had no
idea tina. such as that made us "Ku-Klux."
Georgia will probably be subjected to martial
law for this bit Of pleasantry.-Co Columbus Ga

While Kellogg remains in Office, with that
sae no ont of the pacA
State will be kept in turmoil and disorder;
Kellogg, who is thoroughly weak and pusil-
luminous man, will always be crying out for
troops; rash officers will make biunders, and
there may burst out, any day, storm which
will shake the country from one end to the
other. Kelloggs withdrawal and new cleo
ton is the solution to the problem; and if
kellogg could only realize how much mis-
chief he has done, even he would have the
Sense to step "down and out. But it will
not do to keep file of soldiers in the State
Legislature to settle local qualifications of
members. There must be an end put to all
that, and at once.-N. 7. Times (Repubticqn)

and who was to have been mar
ried to a prominent gentleman OF
this city, was attacked while on
the ferryboat between Norfolk and
Portsmouth by a former lover,
who threatened to xii! her and
himself il she did not marry him.
She tainted with excitement and
fright, and while in a state of in
sensibility was placed in a hack
and carried to the depot, whence
she was takel to North Carolina
and compelled to marry the ruff
fan. She was carried back to
Norfolk and left in the streets.
She is very i'll and hardly expect

have gone in pursuit OF the man,

Properly vOuched For.

The following horse story Is told
by the Christian Advocate or we
should not have believed it. A few
days since, as we were leaving our
residence, a horse belonging to us
galloped up and caught our arm,
and made an attempt to pull us in
the direction he wished to 60. He
then left and went off at quick
gait toward pasture Oh farm
about a quarter of a mile distant.
In few minutes he approached
US again, making an unusual noise,
and seemed by his actions to de-
sire us to follow him. This we
did and when we reached the
pasture, we observed the mate of
the horse entangled in a bridge,
which had booken through with
him. After we had extricated
his companion from his danger
Gus position. the horse which had
given us notice ofhis companions
danger, came up and rubbed his
head against us, showing great
signs of satisfaction.

From the Charleston Courier.
On Wednesday night last, about
l O'Clock, the town Of Raymond
City was thrown into intense ex-
element by the appearance in the
streets OF twenty-four armed men,
whose intentions were to rob three
stores at that place. The facts In
the case are about as fellows:
Twenty-four men, all Of whom
lived on the waters Of the Eigh-
teen-Mile creek, formed them
selves inio band Ut robbers, for
the purpose stated above, and but
for one of their party betraying
them, their plans would have been
fully carried out. This man who
gave the information was forced
to join the party under threats OF
murder, etc. After joining them
he sent word to the parties whom
they intended to rob, that they
would be there on the following
night and that they had better
make some arrangements to re-
sist them.
When the merchants or Ray
mond City heard Of their plans,
they succeeded in getting thirty
armed men and went into one OF
the stores (the one that was like
~ to be robbed first) and when
the robbers made their appear
ance they rushed out on them and
put them to fight. Welearn that
the next morning fourteen OF the
party were captured. The man
who betrayed them has given the
names of the entire party,

Joaquin Miller has revealed
some incidents in his ante-fam0us
life to q correspondent of the Louis
vile Courier Journal. The poet
does not know where he was born,
but believes Il was in Cincinnati,
in 1871 His father was impecu-
Nous and wandering, and in a fiji
condition to take the gold fever In
1919. The family went together
to California, and thence to Oregon,
where the father was killed by
Modocs, who at the same time
took Joaquin. "They Were then
a grand people," Miller says.
"They really loved me, and some
how ! loved the red devils in re-
turn. Well was with them near
ly five years, / reckon, and learn
ed their language better than /
know the English to-day. Then
came the Modoc war-the first one
there wasn't any speech-making
about that war. 1t was scalps
and an incessant hell !! / could have
left them if / had liked but they
were grand rascals, and | fought
with them They were going to
make me a chief or something.
They were whipped in '58, I think.
and 1 would have been hung, If
caught" He escaped in canoe,
reached San Francisco, and soon
afterward joined Walkers expe-
dition to Nicaragua. After that
exploit, he studied law In oregon,
and was admitted to practice. In
1861 he went gold hunting in Ida

says "itsis an Indian word-from
the language Of the North Sosh-
ones--and it means the Gem of

ernment ordered the organization

Guipure lace Is rarely seen now.
Boys overcoats this season are worn
quite long.
The bridegrooms gloves should be
like the brides.
A great deal Of the snow flake goods
is trimmed with the Titan braid, and 1t
trims stylishly too.
Fleece-lined silk stockings are now
made, but are SO expensive. They are
only worn by ladies Of welth.
The Rembrandt hat is mnch favored
by the young ladies. though they are
not so becoming as the smooth felt.
Nubias, in soft, white wool, and in
colors, are presented In excellent taste
this winter. The most desired is the
ribbed.
Lace on bridal toilcttes seems in dis
favor, and although 1t is worn, lyet in
many instances some other garniture is
perferred.
White muslin dresses will be worn
very little this winter--tarlatan and
tnlle are reserved for the ball dresses Of
very young ladies.
White crepe lsse neckties, embroid-
cred on the ends with white silk floss,
are not so popular as was expected, not
withstanding their becoming effect.
It is sal that more than million Of
birds Of bright plumage are annually
required to meet the demands Of fashion,
and ofthese the greater portion are
humming birds.
The polonaises now worn are draped
across the hips with sashes. The pol
onaisos are made Of rich goods, such as
brocades and velvets that do not require
trimming.
The newest fancy for arranging floral
trimmings on ball dresses is to set
small bouquets about on the dress, in
stead of the garlands, vines aud fringes
of last season.
For extremists, the wedding ring is
made with the centre of Roman gold,
on which are flowers of colored gold,
with outer rim of polished gold but
these are mol SO desirable as the plain
ones,

quires said Comptroller to report

failed to make settlement of ac-
counts of expenditures of public
money. The resolution therefore
requests the Secretary of the Trea :
sury to inform the Senate whether
such reports have been made since
March End, 1865, and if not, why
not. The resolution makes "A SIM

WEDNESDAY, Dec. 10.
In the Senate Mr.. Morton sub
mitted a resolution setting forth
alleged frauds and outrages i'm the
Mississippi election and calling
for a committee of investigation !;
he also offered concurrent resolu-
tions declaring that the doctrine
that State has right to secede
from the Union is inconsistent
with the idea Of nationality, in
conflict with the constitution, and
should be regarded as extinguish
ed by the suppression of the rebel
lion. A resolution, offered by Mr.
Stevenson, calling on the Secretary
of the Treasury for all correspon-
dence and instructions relating to
the recent revenue frauds at st.
Louis, Chicago, and Milwaukee,
was withdrawn after debate.
In the House various resolutions
were introduced. Among the
| most important was one by Mr.,
Hale declaring that measures
should be taken to render the spe-
Gle resumption act. effective. Bills
were introduced fixing the rate for
third class male matter at one cent
for every two ounces or fractions
thereof; and for the removal of
political disabilities imposed by
the third section of the fourteenth
articles of amendment to the, con-
stitutiOn A resolution was adOp-
ted by a large majority that in the
present financial condition of the
government no subsidies in any
form should be granted, and that
all appropriations ought to be linn
tied to what is imperatively de-
manded by the public service. A
resolution was adopted by vote
of 23l to Is declaring that the pre-
cedent established by Washington
and other Presidents in retiring
after a second term has become, by
universal concurrence, a part of
our republican system of govern
ment, and protesting that any de-
parture therefrom would be un-
wise, unpatriotic and fraught with
danger to our free institutions. A
resolution abolishing the commit
tee on freedmen's affairs was
agreed to. A concurrent resolu-
ton was adopted providing for an
adjournment of both Houses from
Monday next to the 4th of jan
uary.
