The Truth Coming Out.

The Carroll (La.) Conservative, q
Democratic organ, says that on the Sun
day night before the election, David
Armstrong, a colored man living on a
plantation near Milliken's Bend, in
Madison Parish, was taken from his
house by mob of twenty or thirty
armed men. After his abduction, the
people in the neighborhood heard more
than twenty shots fired, and next
morning "pools of blood and a sheet
covered with gore were found near the
river" There ia no trace of Armstrong
but it is reported that a body was iished
out of the river few days ago and in
tered.

BANGLES.


Bangles of silver and bangles of gold.
Bangles quite new or a century old;
Bangles constructed from beautiful stones,
Bangles artistically carved out OF bones,
Bangles OF ivory fragile and thin,
Bangles you'd scarce believe it) OF tin,
Bangles with mOnograms cut on the glass,
Bangles Of Persia made out OF brass,
Bangles that ottimes may add to the charms
OF beautiful women's beauti full arms;
But females constructed OF skin and of bone
Had certainly better let bangles alone.

Especial Correspondence of the CAIRO Bulletin.l
WASHINGTON, January 81, 1870.
There was no progress in legislation of
consequence last week, except the agree.
mcnt Of the two houses on some of the
appropriation bljls--or, rather, the agree
ment of the house, to all the cxtravagant
amendments made by the senate to such
bills. This was especially noticeable in
relation to the post Office appropriation bill.
to which, on Saturday, the house agreed TO
the addition Of many hundreds of thous-
ands Of dollars.
If Democrats needed any vindication for
demanding large reduction in our naval
appropriations they had it in Senator
Baine's speech last week on the subject.
lie thinks we unnecessarily spend many
millions in that way To be sure, he was
arguingto get some of this squandered
money to aid in building up our merchant
marine, but the use he wishes to make of
the money makes no difference in the fact
that it has heretofore been unnecessarily
spent. His plan is to subsidlse lines of
steamships to South America and other
parts Of the world. He says this would
not only increase our trade enormously. but
will give us large number of the best of
sailors to draw from whenever we might
have need of a navy
For many days there has been great in
terest felt in the coming struggle in the
senate over the New York custom house
nominations. The administration Will use
all its influence to secure their confirmation.
and that Conkling will do his best to pre-
vent it. The vote may be taken at any
time.
The committee on transfer of the Indian
Bureau is equally divided, in numbers, on
the subject The session of congress is
now so nearly over, and so much else re-
mains to be done, that final action on the
two reports, for or against transfer, is no
possible.
The noted McGarrahan caseis likely to g,
to the court of claims under resolution t.
that effect to be introduced in both houses
The resolution will simply authorize any
one claiming title to the immense property
in dispute to commence in that court suit
against the United States 1t would be
singular result of this long struggl
between McGarrahan and The New Idri
Mining Co., if it should appear finally tina
the government, and not either of thos
parties, really owns the land.

THE HORRORS OF THE GALLONS,

Patrick Ford, the man who edits and
publishes the Irish World is much given to
eytravagant expressions, but we can not
say that in plcturing the inhumanity and
barbarity of our mode of effecting capital
punishment, he employs single word
that is not warranted by the nature of the
horror with which he deals. The following
extract is from the last issue of the World:
Among the multitude of evil and wicked
examples inflicted on us by the British
oligarchy, hanging men up to die is Ger.
tainly the most cruel and wicked. Men tell
you everywhere that torture Established.
1t is not abolished. Even where England
sends round her expert Calcraft to do the
killing, the rope sometimes slips wrong and
the victim dies Of strangulaton. We have
followed her example in this modern cruel.
iiXion, and, as in most other things, we
have improved upon it-by making il worse.
Here we remit the brutal work to ignorant
laundering Sheriffs and Deputy Sheriffs to
hang up the untortunates whom our English
system of disnheritancc has made, to die
almost invariably, by strangulation. What
thoss unfortunates feel as an eternity of
torture before they are permitted to die The
shallow unfecling criminal men who follow
paper and ink for daily trade don't realize
this; don't want to realize either it or any.
thing else but the criminal gains they can
make out Of their most criminal business
OF misleading public thought. Ten to iif-
teen ortwcnty minutes is the average that
our untortunatcs must hang struggling for
n film of air. Every minute counting one,
two, three, up to sixty, and then
begin again at one, two, thee, and CONT up
to sixty, again and again, till the gasping,
dying wretch sees ten or twenty returns of
the miserable count, every one return of
which seems to the dying man as long as
nm eternity. But it is no business of our
daily INSTRUCTORS" to look into this brutal
~. Or, indeed into anything but the
profits to be made out of their venture.
That profits sure to be proportional to the
adroitncss with which they can flattcr pub
lie prejudice, however brutal and ignorant
1t may be- That, and champion the vii
lanies Of the Shylocks; the traitors who are
robbng the nation of hundreds--indced
thousands--of millions, and who can afford
to throw bone to the literary dogs who
howl in their train.

GRANTISM.

Grant did not obtain the nomination fvr
his third presidential candidacy, but his
friends decided that he should stand again
IN the fall OF 1880. TO get him out of the
way, nc was sent to travel abroad. Here
an ex president is mere nobody-a lucifer
match burned out. II was managed by
American ambassadors and consuls abros.S
that Grant should be received and treufeds
as if he were "His Royal Highness. the
Prince" on his travels. Now he is about
starting In an United States ship.ot.war, on
a tour that will cover many months of the
present year, and the flunkeyism of our
Naval Secretary is believed to have pro-
vided that Ulysses and his followers
snail travel over the Pacific Ocean
to India and other remote parts
wholly at the public expense. His cigar
Dill will be heavy item. Accompanying
"the brave Ulysses" all through Great Brit
ain was one Adam Badeau, an United
States consul, who is said to have composeF
the speeches which Grant is reported as
having made. Outside of England, one
John Russell Young, reporter on the New
York Herald, accompanied him. closing
with Ireland, and having manufactured
Grants eloqucnce, regularly sent it, over
the Atlantic Cable, to be published in that
veracious journal As Young accompanies
Grant to India, we may look for numerous
speeches by Grant, which Grant never
made
In fact, Grant is the Hcrald's candidate
Tor the presidency next year. But no pres
ldential candidate favored by the New
York Herald was ever elected Irish
