The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1877-03-07

NEARLY all the Republicans in the
House voted against the bill appropria-
ting 81, 800, 900 to the Mississippi levees.
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1877-03-07

''MANY Southern Republicans are urg
" ing the appointment of Senator Alcorn
60 as a member of the cabinet of President
" Hayes on the ground that such an ap-
4" pointment would be entirely satsfac-
Z" tory to the South, and that it would
g aid in enabling the Republicans to
{" regain control of Mississippi and other
d" Southern States" This is going the
rounds and we know there is sucn absurd
talk in Washington. Undoubtedly ex-
Senator Alcorn's appointment would be
as acceptable to the Democrats of Mis-
sissippi as that of any other Republican,
but it is supremacy preposterous to as
sumo that it would be the means of re-
establishing Radical misrule in the State.
A few years ago he was beaten for Gov
ernor 10000 votes by such an adven-
turer as Gen. Ames. And it will exceed
the comprehension of ordinary mortals
how, as a member Of Hayes cabinet, he
is to recover what was lost while he was
Z. S. Senator. However, forewarned,
forearmed. ''Surely in vain is the net
" spread in sight of any bird"

THE bill allowing quo warranto pro-
ceedings to try the title of President
and Vice President was defeated in the
House. After the majority had trifed
away the election of Mr.. Tilden, the
bill was humbug.

The Ohio House of Representatives,
on the Sd inst, passed resolution de-
claring that Hayes had received 185
votes by fraud, perjury, etc, and that
they were sorry for it, because it destroys
their tai tn in. the merit, justice, and
benifcent goodness of Almighty God,
whom they had been taught to believe
was the defender and protector of the
right, in this, that He has allowed vii
liany and moral perjury to triumph over
truth, honesty and virtue. 1t is all we'll
enough to denounce the wrong; but not
to attempt to make the All Wise scape

men to whom He had given the faculty
of knowing and doing better.

Several cases of sham lords and other
bogus - scions of the aristOcracy have
recently been brought to light, notably
in the instance of one who has been per-
sonating Lord Ogilvy so persistently
that theaEarl of Airlie has been obliged
to warn the public against him, his Son
really being at present in India with his
regiment. There is another of these
worthless, and a very successful one, still
on his travels. As :" Hugh Courtney "
he has particularly distinguished HIM
self, and for the past few years has been
equally well known in Europe, India,
Austria, and America as Lord Court
ney," "The Hon. Conyngham Deni-
son." "Lord Henry Van Tempest"
and other self-appropriated titles too
numerous to mention. 1t was once my
fortune to meet this gentleman in
America .son a tour" He staid for
five weeks in Buffalo, n. Y, on the
somewhat limited capital (Which he was
never able to increase by any felonious
borrowings of 81 80 &c shillings). The
landlord of the hotel he patronized suf-
fered to the extent of nearly f100, and
all the respectable citizens of Buffalo,
who, with proverbial hospitality, had
entertained the illustrious stranger,
were mortified by seeing him pass the
remainder of his visit in Jail. Having
conferred an inesiimable benefit on the
United States by leaving their kindly
shores, he was, not long ago, adding in
suit to injury by staying at one OF the
largest hotels in London as sLieut. LAM
n ~
during the past season dining sumptu-
ously at Greenwich. As l understand
he is well known, and that a descrip-
ton of him is Obtainable at Scotland
Yard, trust that he, with many others
of the same type, may soon be sup
pressed.-London Truth.

Black Hills Highwaymen Captured.

A Cheyenne dispatch of the LIST saws:
The coach that left Deadwood TUESDAY,
morning, coming south, was stopped
and robbed last night within three miles
of this post, by two road men, supposed
to be Blackburn and Wall, the nOtori.
Gus road agents. There were seven pas
sengers on the coach, among whom was
Uuited States Marshal Sweesy. The
robbers took every thing of value that
could be found-money, blankets and
overcOats. The same men, about day
light this morning, robbed freight
outfit, consisting of four wagons, taking
all the blankets they had. They took
from Chinaman who was in the train
every thing he had, then administered
sound threshing with whip. Lieut..
Chase, with detachment of the Sd Cav
airy, accompanied by VIM. Reid, an ex-
perienced man at tracing thieves and
catching them, started this morning in
pursuit of the thieves, and followed
them nearly all day, hearing of them
often just ahead, they having robbed
six different men during the day.
They finally captured the men
Il miles above the Government farm,
and about sc from Fort Laramie. A
hot chase was kept up for about five
miles. After the robbers discovered
their pursuers they threw away a gun
and some heavy articles in their flight,
but were finally brought to bay by sew
eral shots being fired at them, and sur
rendered. They are now in the guard
house at this post. One of them is
identified as Webster, the murderer of
Deputy Sheriff Quincy. They would not
give their names, telling the officer of
the day that they had dozen names
each, and there was no use in giving
any names. The two gray horses they
rode are identified as the two horses
that belonged to the Cheyenne and
Black Hills Stage Company, and were
stolen from them some time ago Mr..
Ford, agent for the stage company here,
has two overcoats that were taken from
the coach last night, and some other
articles that have been recognized as
property of passengers in the stage.
Great credit is due Lieut. Chase and
command for his long, hard, and sue
cessful pursuit, SC miles ride altogether,
and to Mr.. Reid for the able manner in
which he discovered and followed their
trail.

UNDER THE VIOLETS.

Her hands are cold her face l. white;
Nomore her pulses come and go'
Her eyes Are shut to life and light;
Fold the white vcsture, snow on snow,
And lay her where the vfolets blow.
But not beneath craven stone,
To plead for tears with alien eyes; 20
A slender cross of wood alone
Shall say that there a maiden lies
In peace beneath the peaceful skies
The gray old trees OF hugest limb
Shall wheel their circling shadows round,
To make the searching sunlight beam
That drinks the grernnes- from the ground
And drops her dead leaves on her mound.
When DER their boughs the squirrels run,
And through their leaves the robins call,
And, sipening in the autumn sun,
The acorns and the chestnuts fall,
Doubt nor that She will heed them all.
For her the morning choir shall sing
Its mnt:ns from the branches high,
And every minstrel voice of spring
That triIls beneath the April sky
Shall greet her with its earliest cry.
When, turning round their dial track,
Eastward their lengthening shadows pass,
Her little mourners clad in black,
The cricket, sliding through the grass,
Shall pipe her evening mass.
At las. the rootlets of the trees
Shall find the prison where she lies,
And bear t4Ic buried dust they seize
In leaves and blossoms to the skies,
So may the soul that warmed it rise,
II Any, born of kindlier blood,
should ask, What maiden lies below?
Say only this: 4 tender bud,
That tried to blossom i'm the snow,
Lies withered where the violets blow.

An infant child of Mr.. Gaddas, of
Amesbury, Mass, was left in the cradle
under the care of its two sisters, whose
ages were not above 6 years, and they
endeavored to play nurse. Having seen
their mother take from the cupboard a
vial, they followed her example, but in
stead of the castor-oil bottle, took one
containing bed-bug poison, ard gave
spoonful to the little one. The mother,
who was employed in the kitchen, heard
the child cry, and entering the room,
saw the condition of things and admin
istered an andidote, and thus saved its
life.
