ing.
Columbus (Ga.) ERquirer.l
We give in this paper the evidence
ELECTED in the much.talkod of trial of
Kate Sothern. 1t differs as much as
light and darkness from the sensational
accounts we have been reading in Ger
tain correspondence. There is nothing
in the scenes, the surroundings, nor the
incidents to CLEAN a 1.-THE of
The whole was a fight between two
women, while the gallant Bob Sothern
and the rest looked on. They were ell
very ignorant people. Kate and her sis
ter both centered on ISIS" Cowart.
There is no evidence that the men pres
ent tried to part the cOmbatants, nor
does there appear TO have been such a
scene as the sentimental writers picture
Of Bob, with pistol in hand, forcing
Hates way through a crowd. All
that was the Imagination of a fancy
sketcher. Kate Sothern is not pretty
even. She is Of medium height,
about twenty years OF age, and has dark
brown hair, and the twang Of a North
Georgia cracker. She is very ignorant,
can hardly read and write, and Bob is
worse educated than she. Kate is pass
ably ~good-looking, and wear imitation
jet. She says the witnesses swore lies
against her; that she acted in self.de-
tense; that she cannot dance, and that
night at her fathers was the fust time
she ever seed a reel run" SIZE is now
on the plantation Of Colonel Smith, in
Washington county, and will be EN-.
ployed ia the household, cooking and
washing for the conVicts who work on
the plantation. The six-months baby"
is sick-teething-and that now requires
most of her time. She says no money
has been sent her from the North. Her
health is bad.
Her sixteen.year cid sister, sentenced
to two years as an accessory to Hates
crime, has been in Colonel Smiths house
as a servant. She is handsome, and has
been taught to read and write by her
kind mistress. On her fathers farm she
worked in the field and drove an OK to
the pillow. Her sentence has proved a
blessing.
Bob Sothern is nothing but a strong,
%good.looking ANIMAL common, ignor-
ant boor. He is now a guard to convicts
on the same plantation. The woman
Kate killed was on a rsr with the rest.
On reading this evidence one feels
literally disguised with the amount OIL
sentimental twaddle that has been ex.
pended on the case. Not a scintilla can
be obtained to excite a single expression
of admiration. Why, the parties sur.
rendered themselves to get the reward
and the understanding was that Hates
mother was to get fifty dollars of the
money. Where wen a fertile fancy
could extract anything of a romance
from an atrocious crime we cannot i'm
agine.

Patri's Domestic DImcuItIes

An interesting document has been put
on record in the French Court Of AID.
peals relating to the unfortunate domes.
tic difficulties of the Patti and the
Marquis de Caux. The document is filed
on the part of the prima donna, and
seeks to obtain a decree against the
validity Of her marriage with the mar.
quis. The ceremony, it is alleged, was
null and void, for the reason that it was
performed in q foreign country, and not
in accordance with the customary and
legal forms of that country; that the
priest who performed the ceremony at
Chaplain, England, was "incompetent,
and personally deprived of all capacity,
jurisdiction or power over the espoused;"
that he claimed to have authority in cou.
sequence Of q delegation from and as
the deputy Of a French priest who had
not the power to make that delegation
or d%eputation; hat the French law alb
solutely requires q civil marriage; that
this civil marriage was never performed,
and hence that the divine Patti never
was in fact married to or the wife of the
Marquis de Caux. The marquis sue.
ceeded in the divorce suit, and it is now
PATHS turn to endeavor to cut the
ground from under the divorce by prov.
ing that they were never married at all
in the eye Of the law.

Colonel Colxnr,s nnssoh.


Last night there was an intelligent au-
dience at Cochran Hall to hear an ad.
dress on national and State finances by
Colonel Arthur s. Colyar, of Nashville,
who is a candidate for governor. The
address embodied a long array Of facts,
showing the financial condition Of the
country and the causes which the
speaker sseribes for this condition.
Among other things Colonel ColyAr said
that our public debt the first of January
will be q fraction under $25, 900, 900.
Unless we get relief, we cannot pay the
interest, nor can Wi compromise the
debt, agreeing to pay interest on The
new obligation if it is to be paid in
money. In conclusion, Col, Colyar said,
il elected governor he would not give
unnecessary sleep to his eyelids, nor per-
NIT any member Of the legislature to
sleep, il be could prevent it, until some
measure had been devised for the relief
Of the people of Tennessee. And he
advised hat no man be chosen either
for the legislature or the congress of the
United States who did not have deeply
in his heart this great question of the
great wrong done to the people in first
destroying their currency, and iuaicting
distress and destruction, and almost
starvation, upon the great mess Of the
WORKING people Of this country.

These attorneys will at once institute in

CHAMPION OARSMEN.
Row FIny.ous miles in -Four Hon

Row Flfty.One Miles In Four Hours.
The skif Charlie" built by Mike NJ.
Holt. Of Wolf river, reached this city at
5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, having
been rOwed here from Randolph, dis.
lance f~ity-ons miles. by Robert Brown,
Tom Tate and Mace Tate, in four hours.
When the fact Of this extraordinary
rowing was made known it created gene
raj discussion and comment in boat cir
cles, for the achievement is one that's not
easily accomplished by even the best
oarsmnn on the water. The distance
by the main river from Randolph TO this
city is IS miles, but the crew Of the
Charlie reduced this to 81 miles by com.
ing through the island chutes. By doing
this, however, the advantage Of the cur.
rent, which at this stage flows about 5
miles an hour, was lost to a great ex-
tent, as one.third of the entire distance
Of 81 miles was through still water in the
chutes. So that the actual rowing time
per mile, irrespective of any aid
from the current, was about 6
miles an hour. With the current
added 10 the whole distance the time was
over IL miles an hour, a rate which
any steamboat might be satisfied with.
So the crew rowed II miles in still water
and "a in running water. This would
give IL miles per hour for the "a miles
with the current and 81 miles per hour
for the II miles of still water. II this
can be surpassed we would like to see
some persons attempt it, for a good skif
race from Randolph to Memphis is
now in order and will be readily
accepted by Messrs. Tate & Brown. The
skif Charlie is twenty feet long, four
feet wide and fifteen.inch bottom. and
has two sets Of oar.locks. Only two men
pulled at a time, each handling a pair Of
oars. After reaching Memphis the three
oarsmen, who are members of the new
DeSoto Club, took their place in the
Rosalie with Captain William M~aingault
holding the string, and practiced for an
hour and a half. None OF the three
showed any signs Of fatigue, and Mr..
Brown, after leaving tie Rosalie, went
to Patsey Kelly's, where he rolled ten.
pins for an hour and a half. Though
this was his FIRST game, Mr.. Brown went
as high as hfty-eigbt aud sixty. eight.
The Rosalie crew receives a strong ad.
dition to its crew in these oarsmen, and
will make the contest next Sunday with
the other boats the most brilliant and ex-
citing ever witnessed on the Mississippi.
The crews Of the four boats practice be.
tween 7 and 8 o'clock every afternoon in
front Of the city, Ladies and gentlemen
can have an opportunity to see the boats
by going to the bluffs. We hear that the
Geraldine Club has secured four new
members for its crew, and as they are
experienced oarsmen, will not be the
last craft in the regatta next Sunday.

GeneraI Gran. on CommunIsm.


A correspondent in Paris, of the New
York World, has been interviewing Gen.
eral Grant on the subjecto of Communism
in the United States, and the result of
the conversation is thus given:
General Grant thinks there is no cause
for very serious alarm-just because the
vigilant inquietude of the public mind
in the States is in itself a sufficient secu.
rity against the dAsger Of revolutionary,
or, most people prefer to put it, com
munistic excuses. If the general could
be guilty Of an epigram he might say
that you have no ground Of uneasiness
because you are very i'll at ease, and this,
in Hibernian fashion, would be the ex.
preston of a profound truth. The
American people, he says, have evident.
ly opened their eyes in time to the pro.
oeedings of q knot Of agitators in the
Union who would like to make capital
out Of the present distress in trade
though they seem to be opposed to capt.
tai in every other form. These men will
be looked after, and they will be pre-
vented from doing serious mischief
Their t~reschery to one another will tend
to supply the defects Of public watehful-
ness; they may be relied on not to keep
their own secrets if they have any mo.
tive of vanity or greed for divulging it
The general finds much comfort in the
reflection that most of them are foreign.
ers-they will be the more easily traced
on that account-and that the few Anne
ricans who have Joined them are pure
demagogues Of no standing whatever in
the country. Still he would by no means
leave them to public contempt, and be
thinks that every State should pass a law
making secret organization a felony
under certain conditions which it would
be easy to define.
