Did jefferson Davis Save An
drew JOhnSOn's Lie?

Had President. johnson n special
reason for sparing the life of Jcffcr-
son Davis aud delaying his trial till
popular excitement had in measure
subsidized? This question the Atlanta
Constitution, in a recent issue, puts
aud undertakes to answer, adducing
documents copied from the originals
in President JOhnsOn's possession.
The first is letter to the President
from Humphrey Marshall, dated April
&c. 1876, and inclosing the state
ment from Alexander G Greenwood,
of New Orleans, then engaged in the
service of New York firm, but dur>
ing the war Colonel in the Uonfed-
crate army. He was nOta friend Of
Mr., Davis's, considering that he had
been unfairly treated by him during
the war. This statement vas to the
effect that a conspiracy had been en-
tered into at Bristol, Tenn. in 1861
to hang Mr.. Johnson on his return
from Washington, the people being
infatuated because Of his great Union
speech made in the Senate, but that
President Davis, hearing of the dan
ger that threatened, warned Green
wood of it aud ordered him to run
the train on to J0uosboroUGh, thus
baiileing the lynchers. Ia incIo.ing
this, Mr.. Marshall wrote to Mr..
johnson
/ know. were in your place and
such facts were connected with me or
a crisis in my life. aud he who had
so served me vas situated as Davis Is.

NeaU Tobacco. The fret instalment
OF the new crop OF tobacco was receiv-
cd at WinstOn's warehouse last week r.,
and was sold at satisfactory prices
The indications are that the crop will
bo put upon the market earlier than
usual. Prices will rule low--perhaps
much lower than last year, especially
for Tugs and nondescript, and with no
prospect Of improvement in prices on
these grades. 1t is perhaps advisable
to sell early, and thus gain in weight
what will be lost in price.

BRIDAL PARTY.
Grand Reception at the Yir-
GINA House.

AAONoOs
On Thursday evening last, Miss
OssIE, youngest daughter Of our es-
teemed tOwnsman, Mr.. l.. +. John.
son, was united in marriage to Mr..
CIIAs. e. FINCH, the efficient Agent
Mt the Virginia Depot. The ceremony
was performed at the residence of the
brides father, by Rev. ]. 4. Frazier.
Cards had been Issued in the name of
Mr.. II. Wood and lady, the popular
host and hostess of the Va, House, to
attend a grand reception to he given
the bride and groom.
Immediately after the ceremony the
bridal party repaired to the Virginia
House, where, very soon. the elegant
parlors were filled - it'll a gay throng
of invited guests. composed of the
elite and beauty of Bristol. Social
chat and lively wit were INDUCED
in for awhile, when it was announced
that the musicians had arrived and
the room below cleared for those who
wished to take part in the festive
dance, The handsome groom and his
lovely bride led the way, and soon the
light fantastic toe" tripped time to
harmonious music, and the beaming
looks and approving smiles o! the
bellies and beauX gave ample evidence
OF the perfect enjOym,n ut the occasion
afforded. The toilets of the ladies
were modest, yet elegant, and the gem
tlemen appeared to the best advantage.
The merry hours sped swiftly on, and
at | o'clock supper was announced.
Every body acquainted with the host
and hostess expected an elegant sup
per, but when they were ushered in
where the spacious table, ranged in a
trilateral form, was placed the sur
prise was complete. No adequate de-
scrIption can be given of the beauty
Of its decoration, to say nothing of
the bountlfulness and luxury of its
contents. The heart of the connos-
sieur could here revel in the realiza-
ton of its fondest wish. Mrs. Wood
more than deserves every compliment
that was there passed upon her skill
and ingenuity. Space forbids an at
tempt at description, we therefore
content ourselves with saying it was
simply perfect.
