MRS. BELKNAPS YOUNGEST
BROTHER.


The black sheep of the Tomlinson
family, of which Mrs. Bellnap is mem
Der, was John, theyoungest brother, and
indeed the youngest child. He joined
the rebel army, and for this disloyal act
was disinherited and disowned by his
father. After the war he led rambling
sort of vagabondish life-lived in New
Mexico. and often boasted Of having
killed fourteen men in that unsettled
country. In personal appearance he
resembled his brother, Dr. Tomlinson,
although in features resembling the pres
ent Mrs. Belknap. After his return from
the Far West, and for four or five years
before his death, he occupied the position
of clerk in hotels in Cincinnati, and for
several summers was second clerk and
floor manager of the celebrated Putin
Bay House, at the island of that name in
Lake Erie. The fame of his sisters, in
their high position Of State and society,
was nothing to this youngest brother
and estray lamb of the flock, and he
rarely mentioned them, except with bit
terness. With the consumption in his
veins, which belongs to the family as
truly as their gentle birth and breeding,
and his indulgence in strong drink, he
became an invalid, and strangers-in-
deed, servants-bestowed upon him the
attentions which should naturally come
from ones own kindred. A few days be-
fore his death, in the hotel where he had
lived for months, DR.. Tomlinson visited
him and provided him with every thing
that was necessary at that time, but a
dying man has but few wants to which
his fellowman can administer. OF the
selfshness and pride Of his sister he was
a living evidence, and on the day of his
funeral in Western town, Mrs. Belknap
the present was holding reception, al
though apprised of her brothers death,
but "itw was only John. ."-ChicagO E0en-

IMPORTANT SUIT AGAINST EX-
GOVERNOR ALLEN.

CINCINNATI, March I7.-Proceedings
were commenced in the United States
Court here to day by Allan Campbell
Nc Arthur and other grandchildren OF
Duncan Macarthur, former Governor OF
Ohio, to eject ex. Governor William Allen
from his farm near Chillicothe, known
as Fruit Hill. and compel him to account
to the local heirs of Duncan Macarthur
for allrents and profits of the estate al
legged illegally withheld from the heirs;
It appears Governor Macarthur, who died
in I83o owner ofimmense landed wealth,
left a will bequeathing all his property
to his wife and William Key in bond as
trustees to hold until his youngest grand
child became of age, with annual divi-
dents of profits of the estate among heirs,
When the youngest grandchild became
of age the property was to be divided
among all the heirs. The will was set
aside and the larger portion of the estate
came into possession of Mrs. Coons, a
daughter of Nc Arthur's, who afterwards
married Governor Allen The principal
contestant become Of age about year
ago, and having learned the story OF the
will and its disposition in court, has com
menced suit with others to recover.
Should the suit be decided against Gov
ernor Allen it will leave him poor man.
The estate involved embraces about eight
thousand acres in Ross county, including
a portion of the city Of Chillicothe.

ARRESTS IN THE SOUTH FOR PO-
LITTCAL PURPOSES.

Raleigh, N. c., March I5.-Much in
dignation is expressed here owing to the
announcement that warrants have been
issued by United States officials for the
arrest ofGen w. R. Cox, Solicitor OF the
Fourth District and Chairman of the
Democratic State Executive Committee,
and the Commissioners of the county of
Robson, on trumped.up charges of
having "conspired to defeat the will of
the people at the election held for dele
gates to the State Constitutional Conven-
ton" Gen. Cox is a wealthy and highly
respected citizen, and the arrest is intend
ed to embarrass the Democracy in the
coming contest. 1t is rumored that a
prominent Democratic editor at Raleigh
will also be arrested probably for max
ing speeches in opposition to the thieving
of the radical officials. In South Carroll
ma and Alabama reign of terror among
honest citizens is being inaugurated by
United States marshals, who are arresting
and imprisoning persons on the most friy-
olous charges.
