A SCRIP OF CRIMINAL HISTORY.

The New York Herald announces
the death in a Southern state of Francis
y. tIdymOnic. Tho mention of this
name recalls one of the most singular
prison incidents that ever occurred in
this State. In 1928 Edymoire was con-
victcd Of burglary ut OsweSo and sem
fenced to five years in the Auburn
Prison. In August, 1853, Governor
Seymour, then in his fist gubcrnatorial
term, received from Auburn two sets
of papers, one signed by DR.. Briggs,
the prison physician, and the other by
the We den, agent, chaplin and NUM-
Der of i;cepcrs, asking Il pardon for
Edymonic, representing that he had
bccu exemplary in his conduct and was
then in an advanced stage of conSump-
ton. On these representations the
Governor promptly Issued the pardon,
and the prisoner was released. y few
days afterwards, however, it was dis
covered that the papers had been forged
by Idymoine, and that, by The com-
mission of II crime which has sent hun
dreds TO prison, he had actually secured
his rclcase. lie waS slsillful pcnman,
and bad practiced the art of forgery
with such successful results that the
signatures upon the papers were ffr
si,,iies of autographs of the several gen
tlcmen and could not possibly have been
detect Hd. Edymonic waS soon after
ward arrested in Albany by Captain
HaGadorn who is it still a member oi
the Albany police, and returned tc
Auburn, but was soon released on a
writ of habc:s corpus sued out by Clar
| cnco y. Seward. The writ was made
rcturnabIc before Judge Humphrey
and Christopher Morgan, Clarence y

CCSTES LEE IN NEW ORLEANS.

The New Orleans Times Of Tuesday
morning makes the following announce
mcnt:
Gen. 6. w. c. and Miss Lee, the son
and daughter of one who contributed as
much to add luStrc to the American
name as any Of the nati0n's heroes, iiv.
ing or dead, reached the city yesterday,
and have taken apartments at the St
james. 10 each, it is scarcely ncccS-
S;ry to say, that in II city where the
name of Lee is u treasured relic, all cX,
tend Il hearty welcome. \ Notwit h3tand-
ing the inclencnt weather, General Lee
was taken into the hOSpitablc custody
Of u host Of friends, and spent the even
ing out. An opportunity of waiting
upon Miss Lee and extending those
courtc3icS they so well know how to
br5tow, will be regarded by our ladies
Il privilege of which few will fail to
avail themselves.

Theodore NJ. Pomeroy, w. II. Worden
and M. s. Myers appeared for the peo-
pie. The trial resulted in the release of
l;dymonie from custody, the court
holding that Il complete pardon could
not be revoked. The affair created a
great deal of excitement, both in
Auburn and. Oswego, and the Wings
took especial pains to deride Governor
Seymour for the silly manner in which
he had been fooled. No prosecution
was brought against Edymonie for for
gerry, although one was talked of, and
he quickly Disappeared. He was at
the time about twenty-siN years of age,
of superior intelligence, and his father
was an a tabama planter who had given
him a collegiate education. He re-
turned South after his discharge, and
it is said that he forged the railroad
passes for his journey. When he de-
parted he told Captain Hugadorn that
he intended to give up his life of sin,
and rs nothing had been heard of him
since until the announcement Of his
death it is very likely that he kept his
word.-T,ry Times.

AN ECCENTRIC MILLIONAIRE.

"A New Orleans correspondent des-
cribes visit to old Francois l.acroix,
the millionaire isas'per, whose persistent
refusal to pay the taxes imposed upon
his immense estates has made him nu
object of pity. Living in one Of those
quaint hooks for which the French
quarter of New Orleans is celebrated, he
is possessed Of property valued ut over
~ million dollars. He is an old quad
room, with sharp voice and black,
Glistening eye. He was clothed in a
suit Of dirty cloth, the only dress IN
which he ever appears. In tho room
with him was his mother, IL woman
said to be one hundred and ten years
old. Beside tho fire stood an old
fashioned desk, with pigeon-holes filed
with musty papers. An iron safe and
Il few rickety chairs completed tho
furniture. Forty years ago hc was tho
fashionable tailor of Now Orleans, and
made money with surprising rapidity.
The French .landies Of the city never
thought of sho" ing themselves on tho
streets unless their lean legs were
enc. sod in pair of f.acroiN's trOwsers.
by their patronage he became wealthy,
and investing his money in real estate,
which doubled in value, he was soon Il
millionaire. One peculiarity of the old
man was his aversion to paying taxes,
and four years ago his bill for unpaid
taxes amounted to upwards of $35 900.
Having finally been pursualed to pay
II portion of them rather than allow tho
property to bcsold, he entrusted *3O, 900
To his son for the purpose. The young
man took the money and entering Il
gambling-house lost every penny Of 1t.
1.2croiN cursed his son and drove him
from his house. Then he sank into u
state of inaction, and his taxes accumu-
lated until last spring they amounted
to $4,000. Then Il part of his property
was sold. ]Ic made no effort to redeem
il, and still he sits and allows his pro-
prrty to vanish.

thing about such things, but because 1t
seemed to be the right thing for a Caven-
dish to do, and his father wanted him.
The ordinary impression is, that he is
ready for anything if it comes in his
way, but has no strong proclivities or
preposs;,ssions, and that he would Just
as soon be mt Newmarket rs in Down
ing street, or in the hunting-field as on
the front bench of the House of Com
mons.
Still, whatever he does, he does
thoroughly, and with a certain ready
tact and nicely, and he Is, ut least, n
man always to be trusted, who never
t'inches from position he hes once
assumed. a story is told of an Incl
dent that happened to him when he
visited the United States during tho
war, which illustrates the kind Of man
Milford is. Que evening he attended n
ball, and an enthusiastic Southern
girl pinned II 'sbonnie-blue flag" to the
lapel of his coat. The other side
waited upon him and asked that hc
remove it. This he refused to do, 20
he had keen sympathy with the Con-
federacy and thought that he wrs
bonnd to stand by his partner aud de-
fend her colors.

The Philadelphia Inquirer, Admis-
tration paper, says: ga year ago tho
Republicans had II majority on joint
ballot in tho Legislatures OF twenty
six States, including all tho Northern
States, and the Democrats in but ton.
We leave Louisiana out of account.
AZ the present time the Republicans
have II majority on joint ballot in only
twelve Stat (, and the Democrats In
twcn, zone. In two the balance of
power ;s held by independents, who,
in the senatorial elections, have acted
with the Democrats. The Democrats
now control the entire government, tho
executive and both branches of the
| Legislature in sixteen States, the Re-
publicans in nine, and an Independent
party in one. In eleven States the
government is divided, but in every
case the Democrats control that branch
! which was elect last."

The contest between Catholicism and
Protcstantism in Europe is political.
In Mexico it is personal. The ProtcS-
tantS have been very active lately in
Mexico, and dispatches from the capital
show that the number of reformed
churches is increasing. The expulsion
Of the Sisters of Charity has been bitter
ly resented, and the pledge of the Catho-
lie women reveals intense feeling. II
is Il pity that Il more tolerant public
opinion docs not put an end to these
perpetual religious wars. No country
can be free where the State and tho
! Church are in alliance, or whcr" society
/ will not tolerate absolute freedom al

AFTER JUDGE TTtfMHLE.

One of the members of the Radical
House of Representatives Is now pre-
pairing articles of Impeachment against
Judge I'rimblc for the part he took in
the late election in issuing writs of ha-
bcas corpus for Scfyc, ct ais. If tho
House can to-day get through with the
unfinished business, and dispose of the
special order, the Impeachment fiasco
will probably be opened. Judge Trim
blc's tcpublic.nism differs SO much
from that of the ordinary Republican
in this State, that they cannot reconcile
his conduct to strict party fidelity, and
they would fain oust him for his so
called treason. -Ticny,Ulc, ISH.

The Administration programme is,
according to the New York Tribune, as
follows:
The war spirit is to be again appealed
to, Old jeatousics renewed, and Old pas
sions rckindlcd. a more mischicvous
and wicked plot against the public
peace could hardly be devised. Lead
ing Republicans are working them
selves up by violent language to Il
proper pitch the army in Louisiana,
used to sustain the Kellogg usurpation,
contributes some what to eNasperating
the white citizens of the South; and
from this time forward no means will
be left untricd to incitc the old sectional
hostility, and with it Il war of races.
All this narrowing up
the public mind with fictitious out
RACES, this setting the whole country
0y the ears, has but one object, and
that is to keep the Administration par
ty in power. And perhaps Il little later,
| when it shall have more fully develop
cd, we shall see it is to keep the Ad'
miniStration itself in power.

Ward, of ColfaX, is evidently II
desirable person to have in ones Legis-
lature. Our report of yesterdays pro-
ceetlings of Mr.. Sheridan's Legislature
will bear us out in this assertion. Ward
wanted to make Il speech, and because
the Speaker failed to tip him Il wink
he howled dismally. Wards howls ut
last attracted attention, even in Sheri-
dams Legislature, and he was requested
to take 4 seat. He declined this invita-
ton. He continued to below and paw
the air. Then the Speaker ordered the
Sergeant-at-arms to seat Ward, and
after an exciting struggle Ward was
seated. Did he remain seated: Did
Ward of Colf;,N submit to that base
operation without a protest? Not
much. He went out, muttering, and
presently returned with an enormous
pistol, which he tiourishcd at the Ser
geant-at-arnls, at the Speaker and ut
the rest of Sherdan's lawmakers.
There was fearful scrimmagc after
that, resulting in Wards being over
powered by the Legislature, and the
Sergcant-at-arnlS and l<ellOgg's police.
Wards pistol was then taken away
to the armory, and Wards person
taken away to the calaboosc, in which
congenial retreat he doubtless now
reposes. And then, when the indig-
llant members rose to demand Wards
expulsion, and declared in their excite
ment what we have always maintained
and known to be II fact that "Ward is
responsible for the bones OF colorcd mon
now bleaching in ColfaN"-whcn, we
say, the angy and at'righted Legislators
called for his expulsion, It was found
that the far-secing Ward, with his
pistol and his lively behavior, had dos
troyed the quorum and left the Lcgis-
lature shattered.
From which we conclude that Ward
is desirable person to have in ones
Legislature, though it may be urged by
envious and disaSrceablc people that
he is u much more desirable person to
have in jail.-N. u. PicnY,f1'o, 2Oh.
