Gaptaln Smiths Wife.
.nm the AUGUSTA Ga. Chronicle

From the Augusta Ga, Chronicle.
Capt r. r. Smith, of the monitor Saugus,
and his wife and child, occupied two rooms
in the Sea Island Hotel at Beaufort. Mrs.
Smith was fine looking woman, and ap
parently lived in perfect harmony with her
husband. But this state Of things was soon
10 come to an abrupt determination. On
Saturday morning Capt. Smith intercepted
compromising letters to his wife from
brother officer In the fleet. Outraged and
Indignant, Capt. Smith confronted his wife,
showed her the letters, and charged her
with infdelity. He would take their child,
while she could return to her parents in
Boston. In the meantime he would have
his effects removed from the apartments
they then occupied to another portion OF the
hotel. Mrs. Smith protested against this
action, and informed her husband that If he
exposed her in that way she would kill her
self.
Capt. Smith replied that she did not have
the courage to take her own life. He then
left her, went to the proprietor of the hotel,
and told him that after that day he would
not be responsible for his wife's board. He
engaged rooms on the other side of the
buildidg, and had his trunks and other eff
!ects moved into them. Later in the day
Mrs. Smith was found In her room, the door
ofwhich was locked, in the death agony,
with frightful wound through her body.
She died in a few minutes. The coroner
held an inquest over the corpse short time
afterward. The jury returned verdict to
the effect that it was doubtful whether the
deceased had committed suicide or not.
There wos no mark of powder around the
wound. The Grand Jury of Beaufort county
are investigating the matter. The uutortu-
nate victim was native of Boston, and
about thirty-onc years of age. She leaves
little child eighteen months old. TO all ap-
pearances the department of Mrs. Smith
was irreproachable.

From the London Daily Telegraph, May 81,
Before Lord Shand and jury verdict
was given in an action for breach ofpromise
of marriage brought by Isabella Reidford,
the daughter Of a farmer in Baniflshire,
against a farmer in the same county named
James Robertson, in which $500 damages

parties had extended over ten years. In
April, 1874, the pursuer gave birth to a
child, of which Robertson admitted he was
the father, and eighteen months later he
married another woman. The defender,
down to the date of the birth. had baen q

There is one CONSPICUOUS fact in the
present political situation that is making
profound impression on the public
mind, and Is silently but surely clearing
Nay the mist before the eyes of the poo
pie. tbs simply this-that in Louisiana
it is admitted that Gov Tildcn has clear
majority Of all the votes cast of from s.
500 to 5000 votes Du'uqus II rald
There is another fact just as con-
spicuous that is making aprofounder
impression upon the public mind,
and that is that the pretended major
ity for Tilden in Louisiana is based
on the fact that a great many more
voters in that State who wanted to
vote for Hayes, were prevented from
so doing by Democratic ruflians and
cut=throats, who inaugurated reign
of bloodshed and savage brutality in
portions of that State, scarcely equal
ed for pitiless cruelty in the annals
of barbarism. Some conception of
the shocking character of the politi-
cal work done for Tilden in Louisi-
ana, may be gathered from the &C
count in another column of this pa
per. 1t ought to clear away the
mist from before the eyes of any
honest and humane Democrat when
he comes to know what are the
grounds upon which his party papers
claim the election of Tilden.

The Louisiana Atrocities.

We give in another column a
chapter OF Democratic barbasity and
fiendishness IN Louisiana, as related
by Eliza Pinkstcn, the mutilated sur
vivor of family toully murdered
under circumstances Of peculiar atro-
city, for the crime of being Republi-
cans. When this poor woman, faint
and almost dead from the terrible
wounds she had received, appeared
before the Returning Board to give
her testimony, her story and appear
ance had most startling effect up
on the Northern gentleman who are
attending the session. Of the Dem
ocratic committee, but two would
listen to the terrible tale, Gov. Pal
mer of Illinois and Gov. Smith OF
Wisconsin. When they heard it
through, they were moved by an i'm.
pulse of honest indignation and hor.
ror to denounce the fiendish crime
and its perpetrators in the severest
terms. Redfield correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial writes:
The Democrats were bewildered
and Mortified. Gov Palmer said ii
was the most horrible revelation he
had ever known, and that the whole
truth must come out and the matter
sifted regardless of consequences.
He said he had come here as mere
spectator, with no expectation that
the testimony would bring out such
horrible revelations. The question
was above politics; it was above the
Presidency. The people owed it to
themselves and to humanity to sitt
this thing to the bottom. He had
seen thousands of men lying dead on
the field Of battle, but the simple
story Of this black woman and her
gaping wounds affected him more
than the sight of any battlefield, or
anything he had experienced in his
life. 1t was not the Presidency
which was at stake; it was civiliza-
ton. The most rigid investigation
must be made in the name OF human
lty. 1t could not rest here; it must
be sustained or disproved. Gov.
Palmer was greatly affected, and he
spoke with warmth. 1t is stated
that George w. Julian was sickened
by the sight, and could not look up
ON the gaping wounds of the woman.
All were greatly shocked, and the
scene was SO tragic that Mr.. Sherman,
Mr.. Stoughton, and Gen. II Try
White paced the floor, and gave vent
to their feelings in quiet CALCULATIONS.
Lyman Trumbull was not present.
The Democratic managers. when
they recovered from their bewilder-
ment, cross-examlned the witness,
but without materially weakening
her story. They claimed to be tax
en- by surprise, although her sworn
statement had been in the city sew
eral days, and she herself since Sun
day. Her wounds cannot be disput-
ed, nor can the fact that her husband
and child are dead.

In recent trial of a case in Gin
ton county, wherein wife sued
saloon keeper for damages resulting
from liquor sold to her husband, the
jury rendered verdict of 1885 in
favor of the plaintiff. The verdict
was, however, set aside by Judge
Hayes at the instance of the saloon
keeper who was defendant, for most
singular reason, coming from that
source. 1t was shown that during
the consideration of the verdict, one
of the jurors drank a glass of whis-
key. This circumstance was urged
by the defense and admitted by the
Court as sufficient to warrant the
setting aside of the verdict, which
was accordingly done. 1t looks as
though the Judge was anxious for a
preteXt to screen the rum-seller.

THE only wonder about the mani

THE only wonder about the mani.
ifcstatlons Of indignation and horror
by the Northern Democrats in New
Orleans, over the savage atrocities
committed by their party friends in
Louislana,is that the infamy seems
to com, to them in the light of
new revelation. The denunciation
of the blood-curdling cruelty prac-
ticed by the Louisiana Regulators,
which fell from the lips of Messrs
Palmer and Smith is vigorous enough
but rather tardy. Those gentlemen,
in common with the majority of their
party, have heretofore doubted the
existence of armed intimidation in
the South. They have been deaf to
the evidence and ignored the fact,
that more than 1900 persons oh ave
been killed and as many more MAIN
ed for political reasons since 1866,
in Louisiana alone. They have at
last been confronted with the terri
bic proofs of the barbarism of the
Southern Democracy. They have
seen It's victims and heard their har-
rowing recitals,and with the impulse
of outraged humanity, they uttered
protest which should 60 far to OPP
en- the eyes of other Democrats to
the true state of things in the South.
Gov. Palmer says truly that the ques-
ton is above President making, but
nevertheless, the country will not
forget that these horrible atrocities
are perpetrated in the interest of the
Democratic party. Eliza Pinkston
and her family, with thousands of
other black Republicans, have been
butchered that Tilden might be Pres
ident. Was Sheridan far wrong
when he characterized the fiends
who commit these acts, and the com
munity that permit them, "banditti?'

THE Conservative publishes q
statement furnished by the motor
iously partisan agent OF the Associat-
ed Press at New Orleans, to the eff
feet that when the returns from De
Soto parish, which were received on
the 18th, were opened by the Return
ing Board, an affidavit of protest was
found enclosed in the package dated
on the 25th, and that thereupon Sen
ator Sherman who was present, de-
clared that 1t was useless to disguise
it, the returns had been opened and
protests inserted; and furthermore,
that another package of returns from
De Soto parish was produced in
which there were no protests. The
inference meant to be conveyed by
the dispatch beng, that the Board
had been detected in trckery, and
had been rebuked by Senator Shcr-
man. The explanation of the mat
ter is,lhat the Supervisors in De Soto
parish sealed up and forwarded by
mail one set of returns which were
received on the 18TH He retained
n duplicate in order to attach atiidav
it's of force and intimidation, which
he had to do in New Orleans, be-
cause it was unsafe for him to do so
in De Soto parish where the Rcgu-
lators ran the election. This return
was the exact duplicate of the other,
and the aflidavits were added to it
because the Supervisors had first to
get beyond the reach OF the Regulat
oFs. The statement regarding Sena-
tor Sherman Is etfectuaIly disposed
of by the fact that he was not pres
ent at the sitting of the Board that
day.

sides those already announced, it is
now discovered that w. B. Glen, one
of the Tilden electors in North Caro-

the first on account of holding a po-
