and pretending that he was about to go
West and practice law, and begin to lead an
honest life; he so worked upon her feelings
that he was allowed to remain under her
mothers roof for two or three days. Their
kindness and hos pitality was repaid by the
basest dishonesty. One night the ex-Gov-
ernor decamped, taking with him all the
p rsonal property of his wife, jewels, wear
ing apparel, etc, that he could lay his hand
on, together with good deal belonging to
other members of the family Detectives

be in New York. seeking to sell iull story
of the plundering and misgovernment of
South Carolina TO a well-known news

Getting Mississippi News From
Home.

Washington Telegram to ". 0. Iicayune.
Unofficial information has been received
Courts of Mississippi, to recover damages
from the United States Government for the
acts of the officers in carrying on he timber
raids in that State. The ground upon which
the claims for damages is based is that q
large number of saw mills in Mississippi,
were PEELED by the officers of the Inte-
rior Department to suspend operations dur
ing periods running from few days to a
month or more, because it was suspected
that some of the logs to be sawed, which
were on the premises OF the mills were cut
from Government lands. Senators Lamar
and Bruce, and some of the Mississippi Del
egation in the House advocated such a
course.
