A Horrible Marine Mystery.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 90. = The
schooner Parallel reports that on the 7th
inst, off the coast about ten miles north
of this port, she fell in with a japanese
junk. There was not living person
aboard, but a number of corpses were
found, some shackled together. They
must have been dead month at least.
Some of the bodies were dressed in
costly material. There was no food on
the vessel.

single railway can be found in this re-

AN awkward but somewhat anus
ing case to everybody but the parties
Immediately interested is reported from
Pennington, Fulton county, Illinois,
There was an election for police magis-
trate there on the 18th instant. The
eminent respectables took no interest in
the same, so the bummers, for joke,
elected one Thompson Fountain, who is
just out of Jail. Now these influential
citizens who did not vote, ask the Gov
ernor if he will withhold the commits
sion of bummer's choice if majority
of the citizens of the town will address
him remonstrance. The Governor
does not see how he can interfere, and
will probably intimate to the citizens of
Pennington that they will have to put
up with the Jail bird magistrate. Nor
al-go to the poll and do your duty.
THE POTTER investigating committee
is showing up very disgraceful state
of public morals in Louisiana. So far
they have only succeeded in showing
that most of the witnesses called are
persons of little character. A lot of
chaps once before swore that certain
things happened, while others swore
they didn't. And now those who swore
things didn't happen, swear they lied
before, while the other chaps who swore
they did happen, now swear just as
rlocifixralu fhat fboxy I,,3% h.
public is to be benefited by string up so
much moral filth we are unable to un-
derstand. 1t does prove that missionaries
are more needed in Louisiana than they
are in Central Africa, but the country
is paying high price for the informa-
ton.
AN absurd story has been published
throughout the country to the effect that
the Grand Army of the Republic was
about to d" re-enter politics, }" and had ar
ranged " a slate to cover all the offices in
New York State" The committe which
was supposed to have charge of the mat
ter stopped in Philadelphia on their way
to the eneampment at Gettysburg to de-
ny the story, and to say that "the
Grand Army of the Republic is not in
politics, and does not propose to get in. {"
That this is true, no one who has a su-
percial knowledge of the membership of
the order and of its work will seriously
question. The members represent all
political parties, factions and cliques,
and they find no difficulty in working
harmoniously together, simply because
there is no partisan politics in Grand
Army work. The several Posts find
enough to do in caring for the widows
and orphans of their late comrades and
for those who were disabled during the
late war,without attempting in any way
to control or influence partisan political
appointments.

Flying Visit 10 wessOn.
BRooKHAyEN. July 9

EN3 -I
Editor Bf0Okh0ren Ledger:
Having received an invitation to at
tend the Grand Jubilee at Wesson, ]
left last Saturday at 3 o'clock p. NJ, in
company with our handsome young
friend, MI. Chas. Penn, to visit that
noted little city.
On u arrival We had the pleasure
of meeting many friends and acquaint-
ances, and spent the evening very
~agreeably. Wesson was a lively place
on Saturday, rs it was ''pay>day." and
every one seemed to have plenty OF
money. Preparations were being made
for the grand reunion, out on the green
sward of Mother Earth" by the cree
ton of stages, tables and stands, and
all fitted up in first class order,
At half past seven o'clock, in com
pany with several friends, we repaired
to the grounds which had been prepar-
ed for this occasion. Here we found
everything beautifully lighted up fol
some distance around and the prospects
for a jolly time were good. Tables
were spread in almost every direction
with ice cream, lemonade. cake etc,
and surrounded by a number of the
fair sex. The Mississippi Mills Band
stuck up Oh "Katies Little Joe," and
for some time "made the woods with
music ring" when all of a sudden the
ram began to fall in torrents, and ii
was 500 decided that under some ROOF
would De more comfortable, when
the proprietor, invited all to go to the
hotel, but as 1 was looking, rs | had
been for several m )ments, with one eye
on the "fair and graceful daughters Of
Eden" and the other on that ice cream,
it was some time before 1 realized
the fact that it'll was raining. A large
portion of the crowd had salerady dis
persed, but those who heard the invi-
tation willingly accepted, and the re-
freshments we're removed to the afore-
said place, and all spent the night very
~agreeably by tripping the light fan
tastic," p~artaking of the refreshments
etc. until about half-past eleven o'clock,
when all went home with gladdened
hearts aud smiling faces.
Had it not been for the rain, we fee
safe in saying that it would have been
o grand success. The young men there
understand getting up ar entertainment
and ali present certainly highly appre-
ciate their efforts. Offering many
thanks to the managers for c~ourtesles,
/ will now drop a period here.
Respectfully,

The Texas Dem Ocr ratio State
Convention.

The above convention has been in
session for several days, but as yet no
nomination for Governor has been made.
the two>third rule being adopted. The
convention is ole of the largest ever
held. there being fifteen hundred dele
gates present. 1t will be seen that one
thousand votes are necessary to g nomi-
nation, and it will be an exceedingly hard
matter for any man to get them. The
friends of Hubbard the present incum-
bent, stick closely to him. and he would
have had the nomination long since
had the majority rule prevailed. Dew
inc has been taken up as a compromise
candidate, it would seem, and is now
leading the ballot by a few votes. The
Convention adopted a fine platform,
and among other things says an inves-
tigation of f auds committed at the last
Presidential election in Florida and
Louisiana ought to have been made
by the Electoral Commission and Its
refusal to do SO was a violation of the
spirit of the law under which it was or
ganized, and a gross outrage on the
people of the United States, and whilst
the decision as made by the 44th Con-
gress, of the question as to who should
be declared President of the United
States for the present Presidential term
should not, in the Conventions judge
ment, be disturbed, that decision ought
not to preclude an investigation and ex-
posture by the proper authority OF all
frauds connected with that election, and
due accountability of all who were
guilty connected with them.
Since the above was put iu type Chief
Justice O. NJ. Roberts has been nomi-
mated for Governor, the names of both
Hubbard and Devine being withdrawn.

Senator Lamar and that APP.
Dlau,e at Oxford.

.U .Ha.4
We read with amusement the cons
ments of certain State exchanges on the
applause which Col Lamar received on
entering the chapel on commencement
dav, at the University of Mississippi.
| We commend their effort to show the
Senator's popularity. but must say they
have taken up a very himsy ~demonstra-
ton to effect the desired end. We
know Lamar is a great man, has a
national reputation and has done the
South great deal of good. We think
he has made mistakes, as every other
man of any note has also done. Al
though he delivered the eulogy on Suns
ner and opposed the silver bill, have
we any right to say he did so with i'm
pure motives?
His action on the silver bill, however,
decreased his popularity. The people
did not like to see him disregard their
Instructions; although they were COM
PEELED to admire his firmness.
The papers above referred to attempt
to show that the Colonel is as popular
as ever by citing the applause he re-
ceived on the occasion referred to. Now
that is no criterion by which to judge.
A crowd of school boys love to applaud
any way. They APPLAUD any thing and
every thing. just let n OF their
number give the signal, aud right
readily is it taken mp. Those college
boys have a mania for %applauding. 1t
seems TO be second nature. They
never let the opportunity pass for exer-
cising their legs. All the applause,
however, was not given by the boys,
but the greater portion of it was, and
therefore we say, and do so in all kind
ness, that is impossible to judge OF
Senator Lamar's popularity by ''that
tremendous applause at Oxford"

Asccoma v,.o.n a-a..

Vim. RaiLes, Of st. Clairsyille, Ohio,
is a man who has passed an eventful
life for the past nine years. He was n
well-to-do carpenter. with y pretty
wife and one child. His uncle prevail
ed on him to take a voyage to Cape
Town Africa, with him. All things
went we'll until they reached the West
tern Toast of Africa, when, amidst the
raging of the tempetuous sea. the ship
struck q reef and went to pieces about
two hundred yards from shore. Raines
and five others reach ed the shore in
safety, where they were taken captives
by the rude. barbarous aud uncivillzed
race that inherits that portion of the
globe, and have no language whatever,
but make themselves understood by
mutterings. accompanied by gestures.
Raines was a curiosity to them, al
though his liberty WIS not greatly
abridged, and by their indulgence he
was finally permitted to stay from the
camp days at a time on hunting trips.
Having a longing to see his native land,
and the loved wife and innocent babe
he left behind him. he. one day directed
his purse to Cape Town, a distance OF
five hundred miles. which place, after
difficulties, he reached, and obtained
passage to San Francisco. On arriving
there he learned that he had been dead
for six years, and that his wife was mar
ried again! With a self-deninl that
was c~ommendable. on arriving at st.
Clairsville, permitted his wife to choose
which husband she should live with
and it seems she preferred the mar
with whom she was then living. He
is now in Georgetown, KY, and intends
trying to rescue his companions. He
was gone for nine years.

OUR WARRINGTON LETTER,

VufJ SOpit 400.
Editor RsookkaUen LEDGER
Late events have made General Ben
Butler . significant figure in our general
politics. This able and interruptions
lawyer now practices before the U. s.
Court of this District, anl by virtne Of
his position Oh the House Judiciary
Committee bull dozes the Judges into
absurd demands he makes in behalf of
bis clients. The same Judges were Oh
the benci, through the corrupt times
from 1871 to 1875, when what is prop
crly known MS the "Washington Ring,a
fiourished, and there is not enc of them,
though they NAV al! be pnre as Mar
shall, who cares To have an investiga-
tion into the part borne by the District
Judiciary in Strengthening the hands, OF
the Board of Public Works. Butler
knows this, apd his practicins here now,
considering the position lie holds, is
little different from black mailing.
Said a man TO me last evening who had
yesterday been beaten, as he thought,
because Butler was against him-"Let
them elect him Governor of Massachu>
sets, so as to get him off the Judiciary
Committee of the House, and we will
have a show for justice n the District
Courts" Perhaps this kind of practice
illustrates as we'll as anything can, the
character of Butler, yet, as 1 said, he
is becoming an important factor in oul
politics. Whatever dissentions exist
in the Democratic or Republican par
ties had better be healed, so that what.
ever other calamity may befall us, we
may be spared the shame yof seeAe
such a man as this swindle his way into
the White House,
If Secretary Schurz means to reor'
ganize the force in his Department
without regard to politics. one cannot
understand his recent acts. Commits
sioner of Patents, Spear. of Maine, has
been asked to resign. He is a friend of
Blaine. Commissioner Of Pensions
Bentley, of Wisconsin, is away on leave,
and is not expected to return. He is a
friend of Howe. Other changes, by
which friends of prominent "stalwart'
Republicans are to be retired to private
life, are spoken of. From the --latest
indications the places will all be filled
by Administration Republicans, il
enough IF them can be found. IT the
Secretary ever intended to make his re-
organization non partisan. he has evil
IDENTIFY re~considered that intention
Whatever he or his Chief expects to
gain in the face of the fall elections, by
further dividing their party is a mys-
terry.
1t is said that Government employees
here vii! be paid for the month of July
in solid gold and silver money. This
is the first tina since 1851, and it is
safe to say that many a veteran clerk
will celebrate, on August LIST, the re
turn OF the "gocd old times" But
the purchasing power of the ~greenbacR
is the same as of gold, and the change
will be interesting rather thar impor
taht.
The Republican papers, no doubt
from the best and the est disinterest
ed of motives have tried to create an
impression that Vorohees. of Indiana
would not be elected his own successor
to the U. S. Senate. There has been
no doubt of his election among we'll in
formed men, and the Indications now
are that no other Democrat will be
mentioned in the Legislature.

Read This.

If our people would devote o
time to cotton, and never pay any at
tention ut all to fruit, corn, potatoes.
peas, etc, we would soon have a
country that would bloom as rose on n
cold winters morning. We want more
cotton. The more cotton we raise the
cheaper we can buy our cotton goods,
and as that is the principal cloth
worn, therefore when the price is
brought down a good thing is done.
It's true the farmer doesn't get more
than eight or ten cents a pound for the
Aeecy staple, but he can afford to make
the sacrifice necessary. He has always
been obliging-always will be. There
fore by all means let us have plenty OF
cotton. Read this piece, ponder over
and next year plant nothing but cotton.
