an UP FRAUD-ARREsT AND con-
FEssION.

Our readers will remember that
some while ago the town of Green
vile, Miss, was destroyed by lire.
II now happens that the post Office
books and records Of the town was
also destroyed in tho great conHa-
grafton, but such WAS not by acct
dent. Just after tho war, two north
crn adventures, Bolton and Bret
finger, landed ut Greenville, aud
have since resided there, filling gov
eminent Offices with that degree of
complaccnt impudenco which charac.
terize the carpctbagger wherever
found IN the South. Brettinger, as
postmaster, had Bolton ~ his bonds.
man for the faithful discharge of his
official duties, and, some tune ago,
loaned him fifteen hundred dollars.
The destruction OF the post Office re
cords when they could easily have
been saved, aroused suspicion, which
led, last Wednesday, 10 the arrest of
Brettinger This official Mt once
made full confession, IN which he
admitted his own guilt aud that of
his friend Bolton. Thereupon Boil
ton was arrested, but gave bond 90
tho sum OF iorty-two hundred dollars
and, like Bretlinger, Is out on bail.
We understand that Brettingcr, ia
his confession says that during tho
burning of the town, Bolton ap-
preached him and said.
This is as good time ~ We will
ever have To get even with the Gov
eminent Let Us burn up the re-
cords Thereupon he asscntcd to
this proposition and allowed Bolton
90 take possession OF the post.officc
books, which the latter threw into
the flames, by which all evidence Of
their deialcation was destroyed.
Bolton is an EngliShman by birth,
aud resided IN Canada previous 10
the late war, when he joined the
Federal Army, came South, and like
other Adventures, did not return TO
his own snowy cline. Fat offices
and Radical prominence have kept
him at Greenyille. lie has been
great leader among the negroes, and
was candidate for sheriff in the late
election, which, however, resulted in
his defeat aud the election of his OPP
pCnent, whose namo IL Hunt. Ii Is
not likely that he will hold any more
offices under the General Govern
mcnt. Brettinger, the postmaster, is
a native of Pennsylvania, but, like
Bolton, became attached 10 Govern
ment offices, and enacted the role Of
carpet Dagger with political pertec-
ton. lie is also engaged Ia the
book and stationary business at
Grecnville. Thas ends the official
life OF two more honest Republicans,
oilshoots of Grantism.

ceived at the hands Of it, proprictors,
or that we expect any in the future,

In the future furthermore we have
not been on the most friendly term,

honestly think that the Clarion

able lawyer has added another laurel
To the crown that he already wears
In the politics Of our State. Having
the entire interest OF our citizens In
view he has succeeded IN staying and
preventing the collection Of the thir-
~ per cent. damages from our al

members Of our new Legislature to
conclude 20 confer upon Gen. George
the high honor OF clecting HIM TO the

tending TO alleviate the suf-
fcring Of our oppressed people should
give him the preference over all 9th
or competitors for the position. But,
aside from this during the last cam
paign Geo. George watched every
movement made by the Radical par

they made and should he be sent to
