On the 18th Hon. G. +. Hooker
delivered a memorial address at
Alexandria, Va, at the decoration
of the Confederate soldiers graves.
There was quite a large assemblage
present, and the Mississippi orator
received the most hearty welcome.
The Alexandria, Gazette. thus
speaks of DIR congressman His
would be a dull eye which did not
at once perceive that the MISSISSIPPI
plan challenged no ordinary atten-
ton. His person, to begin with, is
remarkable for manly beauty and
strength. The graceful curves are
al there, which accompany perfect
manhood, from the crown of his
read to the soles Of his feet. With
/ bearing military but courteous,
With flashing dark blue eye, he
oOks the happiest mixture of the
Anglo-SaxOn and the Irish races.

the Legislature of 1877 to secure
the passage of the act giving one

of LefOre, Harrison, Jackson,

A

Some two or three weeks ago
some .fleud III human shape, who
represented himself as being Il
government agent. Travelled over
Holmes county, in this State, in
graliated himself into the conf
dence OF the negroes and told them
that on the following Sunday II
train would be ut Durant station
on the New Orleans, st. Louis and
Chicago railroad, for the purpose
of conveying all who wished to go
to Kansas free OF all charge 10
each darkey this scoundrel gave
"A flag, with some design upon IT.
which he said was to be stuck upon
any land in Kansas which they
might select, and when once stuck
in the ground it. gave them Il clear
title to such land. He gave the
colored people a graphic and glow.
ing account OF this land ho"lhg
with milk and honey, and told them
all sorts of pleasant stories of how
they could make an easy living,
without much work, have plenty
to eat, aud dress like white folks,
etc, and soon the news spread
throughout the whole county of
this generous government agent,
and the negroes hOckcd to him from
afar and near.
or course for giving them this
valuable information, and furnish
ing the flags this %imposter was to
have a small compensation. In
order to raise the money, and to
prepare for leaving their old homes,
these deluded colOred people gath
cred up their traps and began to
dispose Of everything they pos
sessed at whatever price they could
obtain. 1t is said in some" instances
they sold their COWS at So a piece,
chickens for five cents, and in fact
the prices obtained was no object ;
they wanted to Leave, and would
take anything they could get. On
the dayappointed for the train to ar
rive over a thousand colored people
had assembled at Durant prepared
to lcave for Kansas. The train, as
IA matter of course, never arrived,
and after.the conviction was forced
upon them that they had been dc
Iuded and deceived they turned
away a sad and detected people,
with nothing scarcely left to them,
having disposed of at a tritting sun
heir homes, cattle, furniture, etc.

Future Action.

Special to n. q. Democrat.
WASHINGTON, june 23.-As init
mated IN Saturday nights dispatch
uayrs' veto OF tue Judicial bill has
produced another panic IN demo
cratic ranks, al least 50 FAR ~ the
senate is concerned. The senate
democrats, however, held Il caucus
Immediately after adjournment, and,
by Il vote OF twenty 10 seven, in
structrd Thurmau's committee to
prepare II new bill calculated to
obviate the objection OF Mr.. Hayes.
This was done after II sharp debate,
In which MesSrS. Cockrell, Vest,
Vance, Jonas, WitlIerS, Wallace and
Walker took strong ground against
a future surrender, ana Messrs.
Thurman, Bayard, Hampton,
Mcdonald and others c%ontendcd
that adjournment without passing
all the appropriation bills was not
to be thought of. The compromi-
srrE have, therefore, carried the
day in the Senate, and another
contest of phrase mongering is to
be wagrd between Thurman, who
draws up the bills, and Garfield,
who writes Hayes vetOeS.
A canvass of the house made i'm
mcdiatcly after the reading OF the
presidents message to day, to as
certain the views of the majority
upon the present situation, brought
ont three different propositions
with regard to the future.
First--To prepare and pass
another bill precisely similar to
that just vetoed, and if Mr.. Hayes
returns it unsigned, adjourn sine
die.
Second-To pass II Joint resolu-
ton continuing the appropriations
until next January, hut with the
same limitations upon expenditures
rs were contained in the vetoed
if not approved to adjourn,
and if called together again to re
peat the process.
Third-adiourn ut once without
making any further attempt to
meet the views OF the executive.
The first OF these suggests the
of action; the second to
the most supporters.

Found Dead In Bed.

Matthew Garner, who resided near
Marklesburg, Huntingdon county, was
found dead in bed at the Farmers Hotel
in Huntingdon Wednesday morning.
Mr.. Garner was farmer by occupation,
but had recently been engaged rafting
on the Pennsylvania branch. On Mon
day morning he left with o crew of five
at some point on the branch to bring a
raft down to the boom, about three
miles below Huntington, at which
place new saw mill is being built
On the way he accidentally fell into the
water and became very wet, in which
condition he remained the whole day
until o'clock that night, when the en-
tire party proceeded to Huntingdon and
took up lodging at the hotel named.

That Lewistown Sensation Again.

Some time ago we printed story of
sensation in Lewistown, to the effect
that young man who stopped off a
train and boarded for a week or two at
a private house at the Junction had
mysteriously disappeared He was in
temperate and had plenty of money. Sus-
picion was that he had been murdered
and thrown into the river at the railroad
bridge, where the body would disappear
under the ice. Recently a dead body
was fished from the Susquehanna at
Fite's eddy, which bore marks of hav-
ing been 70 ully dealt with, and it is sup
posed that this discovery may havesom
connection with the Lewistown sensa-
ton. 1t is also surmised that the SUBJ
.ject of the mystery murdered and rob-
bed another man in Kentucky, at some
point not far from Cincinnati, and then
fled east, taking up his abode near Lew
istown, and was in turn murdered. The
matter will undergo thorough investi-
CATION, and what was first regarded as
mythical may ultimately prove an aw-
full reality.

Limited by Assassination.


Another case of the attempted assas-
.sination of a public official in the streets
of the Russian capital is reported by ca
BILE, but on this occasion the attempt had
less success, inasmuch as the officer shot
at appears not to have been hit. But
the attempt was made with all the usual
GOODNESS and impunity, inasmuch as the
only sequel was the ordinary "escape
in Sleigh" General Won Drentelen's
friends can scarcely afford to congratu-
late him on the bad aim of the appoint
ed executioner" who was designated
to do the will of the enemies of the po-
Mce, for better shot may be chosen
next time, and bullet may be lodged
more effectually. The deliberate sys-
tenn of murder initiated in Russia with
in recent times, and the wonderful sue
cess it has, throws new light on that
ancient and grim pleasantly which de-
elared assassination to be the only cen
stitutional expedient possessed by the
subjects of the Gar.
