A Hundred Years Old.

We have letter from a friend in
Grant county, says the State Journal,
Informing US that there lives in that
county man by the name of Robert
Lumpkins, who, it he lives till the I'd
day of March, VIII be leo years old.
tie was born on the plantation Of Jam es
Monroe, March 2, 1776, his father
being overseer of Mr.. James Monroe s
slaves. Mr. Lumpkins lived there
till he was Il years of age; has often
seen George Washington at the Mon
roe place; says Washington always
took notice of him, and used to tell
him to be a good boy; that by 50 doing
he would make good man. The first
President Mr.. Lumpkins voted for was
Jefferson; has been in Washiuyton's
house many times; was soldier 10
the war OF 1872, and helped whip the
English, an act of which he feels quite
proud. He has been member of the
Baptist church 6S years; has helped
build three Baptist churches, and ono
Methodist church; has been married
e6 years; moved to Wisconsin in lS49;
can remember when ladies wore nothing
but sun -bonnets to church, there being
no hats worn. He used to wear sus-
penders made of hickory bark; has
used tea, coffee, spirits and tobacco.
nearly his whole life, with moderation
Has taken tobacco to market by rolling
the casks Gin frame similar to that
now used for rolling land) fixed on to
the hogshead, and horse attached to
1t. In this manner casks would often
be rolled thirty miles. The casks
would be smeared With a substance to
keep the dirt from spelling the tobac-
co. lnstead of ploughine, the negroes
in the younger days Of NIr. Lumpkins,
used to dig up the ground with hoes.
in planting loug rope was used with
az many sknots. in it 4 feet apart as
there were hands to plant. The rore
would be placed on the r'dse, and a
hole would be dug at the knot, and the
seed planted, then the rope would be
c'rned to the next row, and SO on.
Tie intellectual faculties of Mr..
Lunpkins remain unimpaired His
memory is as good as it ever was. He
can walk about and do Considerable
work. When the writer of the letter
came to Mr.. Lumpkins, be found him
loading wheel-barrow with wood for
the house. He would be highly
pleased to visit the Centennial Exposi-
ton.

Pendlet0n's Fall.

The charge ngainst George H. Pen.

Railroad, of which he is President.
had claim Of Sl4S,553 against the
Government. It was for the differ
ence between the amount paid to the
company for the transportation of Uni.
ted States supplies from May l, 1862,
to August /, 1864, at the military
rates allowed to the company, and the
amount which the company would have
received for the service rendered. pro-
vided the company had been paid for
the same service 80 per cent. of its or
diuarv tariff rates. The case was twice
examined by Quartermaster General
Meigs, and was rejected by Stanton.
There the matter rested until Belknap
took it up, and, against the persistent
protest of Meigs, indorsed the claim
as just, when it was paid in full.
1t seems that Pendleton made an ap-
peal to Belkpap by letter, written not
as President of the road, but as admin
istrator of the Bower estate, Mr.. Bow
er, the former husband of Mrs. Bel
KNAPP, having been the chief owner of
the stock of the road at the time of his
death. Mr.. Pendleton is expected to
appear before the committee to-day and
explain his connection with the affair,
so tar as 1t is susceptible Of explana-
tion He may not have paid Belknap
anything, nor Mrs. Bower Gas she then
was) anything beyond her share by
virtue of her husbands interest; but
certain it is that be procured by appeal

ernment, and was thus guilty of alb

mate means. &c ent!eman George"
can now abandon all idea of securing
the Presidency He is almost as low
ia the scale as Belknap himself. Be-
ing a Democratic leader, his fall is
disgrace to that party. especially as he
stood before the public as the respres-
entative head Of the better element in
the party Chicago Journal.

Thild-Class Postage.

The present outrageously extortion-
ate rate Of postage on printed, or third
class, matter has proved a source of
very considerable profit to the express
companies. A great many packages
which formery y passed through the
mail pouches are now sent by express.
The House of Representatives passed
a bill for the r.f,rm of tn evil sever
al days ago. Since then Senator Ham
lin, chairman Of the committee on
Post Office Affairs, has introduced
bill which would be a great improve
ment on the present law. It provides
as follows:
For distance not texceeding two miles,
one cent tor each two ounces or frac
tional part thereof; for distances be-
tween 300 and 500 miles, two cents;
for distances between 500 and | 500
miles, three cents, and for each addi-
tional l 900 miles, one cent additional
for each two ounces or fractional part
thereof. A special rate is, however.
proposed for transient newspapers and
magazines, namely, one cent for every
two ounces or fractional part thereof.
Tor any distance not exceeding 1000
miles, but for any greater distance,
double this rate is to be paid. The
bill also provides that all occasional
publications, prices current. catalogues
and ANIMALS, and all regular publica-
tions devoted primarily to advertising
purposes, or for free circulation at
nominal subscription rates, shall here
after be considered and charged as
third class mail matter. Other proyis-
ions authorize the writing of brief

STAND UP, SAM j. TILDEN.-NEw
York, March 10 The St. Louis,
Alton and Terre Haute Rail way Com
pany have filed in the United States
Circuit Court a bill in equity against
Charles Butler, Samuel J. Tilden and
Russell Sage. The bill claims that
the defendants as trustees, and as pur-
chasing committee to which the plain.
tiff is successor by purchase consolida-
ted, and the reorganization facilitated
an over issue of bonds and stock Of
various kinds of the new corporation.
Gov. Tllden Is called upon to answer
whether $50, 900 he received as coun-
sci fees was all he made in the busi-
ness, and other defendants are interro.
gated as to the salaries and compensa-
tion received by them. The bill al
leges an over issue of securities to a

WASHINGTON, March 8.-To-day.
at noon, Major Richards. the Chlef af
Police, made formal arrest of Bel
KNAPP, the ex-Secretary OF War, ana
brought him into the Police Cou11.
Belknap was accompanied by his cona-
sci, ex-senator Carpenter, who sad
they waived an examination and were
prepared to give bail for Belknapsap-
pearance before the court.
Judge Smell fixed the amonnt Mt
S25, 900, when the parties retired to
arrange the bail.
Belknap showed by his movements.
during the short time be was in the
court room, that he was much depress-
cd In spirit, covering mis- face with his
hands and signing deeply,
Belknap's friends say that every one
will be surprised at the defense the
ex-Secretary will be able to make whea
he is brought into court. They say
that the Democrats have by no means
that dead case on Belknap that they
imagine they have, and that he will be
able to show clearly that he had no
knowledge of the Marsh payment be-
ing part of currupt fund. Mrs.
Belknap now declares that she is alone
responsible and that her husband was
ignorant of the real nature of the
transaction. Belknap will, however,
publish no defense before the trial.
