u II U ID IN u LII ~
The Secretary of State, Mr.. Evarts,
has invited Hon. John T. Harris, the
author of the appropriation to erect a
monument at the birthplace of Wash
lngton, to accompany him to visit the
spot preparatory to making the arrange
ments for the erection of the monument.
We learn the patty will make the visit
sometime during the month of Septem-
Der. The whole country will hail with
delight the accomplishment of this
long-delayed and greatly desired object.
We wish much larger sum had been
appropriated, and we are advised that
Judge Harris would have asked for a
larger sum, but at the time he intro
duced the joint resolution it required
unanimous consent, and he feared to
make the sum larger lest some one
might interpose the inevitable II OBJ
ject." We hope Congress will yetsin-
crease the amount sufficiently to build a
respectable monument and enclose the
grounds in becoming manner. There
was but ONE Washington hence no
fear of precedent Washington Gazette.
A SOUTHERN VIEW OF IT.-"Are you
armed, sir" and Conkling replied, mo,
Pm not" "Then," said Ex-Governor
Sprague, II will give you five minutes
to get off these premises, and If you are
not away [ will fire at you" And the
daughter of Chief Justice Chase stood
between her husband, the ex-millio-
naire and ex- Governor of Rhode Island
on the one side. and her friend, the lea
der of the Republican party and the
fierce hater of southern respectabilitv,
on the other, and then ordered her chill
dren and her trunks to be sent to her at
the hotel. And now we say, had this
thing happened at the South and among
the southern people, there would be no
end of gratuitous insults heaped upon
us by such cold-blooded fellows as Sena-
tor Conkling and his abettors, and we
had been told by million of northern
voices to mend our plantation manners.

Four Italians have been arrested in
Boston charged with the murder of
Joseph F. Frye. Nicollo Infantino the
boy who shot Frye through the heart
Antonio Onditto, who stabbed the vic
tim; Vecino Bandiera, accessory before
the fact, and Giuseppe Donate, accessory
after the fact. Nico!lo and Antonio
confessed that they visited Frye's house
by Invitation, induced him to go TO the
basement under pretense of showing the
house, and there Antonio stabbed him
in the back with shears, and Nicollo
shot him, rifled his pockets and the safe,
and left the house without being seen.
Frye begged hard for his life, and made
a brief and desperate struggle. The
property all recovered was found con-
cealed in shops occupied by these men,
who are all BARRIERS.

Many of our citizens remember Miss Minnie
Habersham, who, session before last, was a
teacher of music at the Wesleyan Female In

were admired by all who had an opportunity
of witnessing them.
We copy from the Pittsburg (Pa.) Commercial
Gazette the following notice of her recent mar
riage =
"a quiet, transformations marriage was SOL
emnized on Sunday, the 10th inst, by Rev. DR..
Hays. at the Central Presby terrain Church, in
Alles heny City, which in some respects was a
notable event. The ceremony was performed
at 10 p. M, in the presence of about twenty
friends of the contracting parties. The BRIDE
groom was DR.. G. M. Emer son, of Beaver Falls,
an accomplished young physician of that beau
tiful town, educated in Europe, and son of

blood relative of the leading historic families
of Virginia, Georgia, and South Carolina. Born
to affluence and luxury, she was highly educa-

his wife both dying, left the daughter an or
phan, but penniless. Friends offered her an
asylum. but with spirit Characteristic of her
class and race, she resolved to be Independent.

friends, taught privately large class, and then

DR.. Emerson met herseveral weeks ago, almost
accidentally, and the elimination of the &C
quaintanc was witnessed at DIR. Hays's church
last Sunday night. General ImbOden, of Vir-
ginia a friend of her family and relatives in
the South, being here for several months with
his family, was naturally selected by her as
her quasi guardian, and at the marriage gave

vice to the young couple, the General re-

cal reconstruction to harmonic this country.
1t is events like this that must in the end make
us one people, socially and politically, in spite
of the politicians" DIR. Hays replied: Eyes,
sir; I have married over two hundred couples,
andsI am always rejoiced. when, as in this case,
remote sections of the country are brought to-
