Congressman Acklin publishes a card to-
morrow denouncing as a wilful lie the attack
upon his character, lately given publicity, and
relieving General Rosser from the authorship
of the slander. Acklin further says that pre-
vious to, and after the pretended occurrence, he
had the honor of asking the lady to be his wife,
which offer she declined, and that his atten-
tions were continued at her request.
There was an important conference at the ex-
ecutive mansion to-day Immediately after the
adjournment of the cabinet, participated in by
the President, Secretary Evarts and McCrary,
and Generals Sherman and Ord. The matter
under COL sideration was the condition of affairs

doubtedly receive renewed attention at an
early meeting of the cabinet.

to detail Major William J. Twining to be Dis

William Cullen Bryant made a SEN
sible will. His estate was valued at $3.50,
900, and substantially, it is DIVIDED be-
tween his two daughters, one Of whom is

might be quarreled over in court, and the
only other persons remembered are the
overseer of mis- estate, who, doubtless, had
been favoritc and faithful agent, and
receives $4,000 in money and tract of

The N. Y. ISun makes mention OF the
marriage of the DIR. Joseph Cramer, Jr..
ON his death bed. Too close application
to his studies had thrown him into con-
sumption. He selected his burial place
in the cemetery and lay down on his bed
to die. He had become affianced to Miss
Alice McTague. One day he said to his
mother: 81 would likeEt fulfill my prom
ise to EAlice before ! go by making her my
wife. In my last moments it will con-
sole. me to think that she is mine
and that she bears my name." Miss Nc
Tague was more than willing to be unit
ed to her dying lover" He was propped
up in his bed by pillows, and the young
bride placed her hand in his. The bed
was surrounded by DIR. Crsmer's parents,
ana by relations of Miss McTague. All
wept az the marriage ceremony was said
by Father Campbell. The bridegroom
died the next morning.

her baby and doing household work on
the plantation Of Col. Smith, in Washing

ed as guard on the plantation, in order
that he may be near his wife. In Geor-

contractors, and Mrs. Southern seems to
he fortunate in her master. The Geor-
gia press continues to differ in regard to
the justice of the verdict which doomed
Kate to the gallows, and the Enquirer
Sun of Columbus is cruel enough to as
sert that she is not beautiful-that in fact
she is only passably good-looking, and is
vulgar enough to wear imitation jet. At

" we have been made aware how great was the
admixture OF cotton with wool in the make of
called wooden goods for gentemen's clothing, and
how persi,tenty the mills turned out the coun-
terieit. There are some clothing houses where
none other than genuine goods made up ia the
best manufacture can be purchased. Taste aud
economy appreciate these. The foremost one in
New England, perhaps in the world, is that Of
Macullar. Williams x Parker, No. 400 Washing

order in England, Scotland, Germany and France,

them made into garments, the workmanship AS
