A. .. Jones, formerly clerk Of the House

Mt the lower Guardhouse and delivered
himself to the custody Of the officers.
He was assigned to the chiefs private

1t was stated at police Headquarters
yesterday That ex-senator Montgomery,
who was President pro tenn. of the Senate,
would voluntarily 60 to Columbia by the

HOW THE CoLoRED PEOPLE TAKE THEM.
Some curiosity has been eyinced as TO
how the colored Republicans would take
the recent Wholesale descents upon their
leaders by tue investigating committee.
Most people who form surmises on the
subject, forget that the thorough organi.
zation which has heretofore existed in
that party is broken up, and there is no
one to direct the m -,ds Of the negroesall
in the same channel, as has been dote
bofore, and no longer any means of doing
so. The time is passed when they could
be gathered together on IN hours notice,
and instructed as to how they should
view every event, ard their theories and
opinions are as diverse, and oftentimes as
ridiculous, as possible. Many of them
received the intelligence with n "whew-
WV" because they seen, to think it 20
lite to express astonishment at all news,
and say, and evidently nothing.
Others of the more intelligent receive 1t
jocularly, as if .hey knew that these
men were criminals all the time, and re-
garded their being caught as good joke
on them. A few express qualification, O
few others Indifference. and q very few
regard, or affect to regard, it as n mali
cious persecution. OF course there is, in
addition to these, number of turbulen,
young bucks" who inve;gh loudly
against the troubling CT the "nggers'
frens, jest case de is de niggers' frens,'
and make dire apd indefinite threats Of
revenge.
