THE republicans claim to constitute
a party of great moral ideas, and to
be the friends not only Of universal
suffrage, but of universal education.
Granted that individual members
north and sonth are sincere in their
professions, and that they honestly
believe that the welfare of the coun-
try and the permanency and stability
of our institutions depend upon the
continued control of the Republican
party, it still appears that there is a
great deal of unregenerated human
nature in that party. Take the state
of Iowa, for instance, where they
have everything their own way, and it
is impossible for a straight democrat
to be elected to congress. According
to the report of the state school super
intendent, the warm friends of educa-
tion have stolen or mislaid during the
last seven years $491, 1881 of the
school fund. This is fine record
for state in which the passport to
Office is denunciation Of rebels and
appeals to the worst passions Of the
human heart.

MELIKOFF'S MAN.
Defiance OF the WOuld-be Assas-
sim-RevOIutiOnary Man
ifestO.

PARIS, March 5.-The "irrecon-
cilable" journals publish what pur-
ports to be the manifesto Of the Rus
sian revolutionary committee, justi-
flying the plot against the life Of the
czar, which resulted in the explosion
in the Winter palace. The mani
festo expresses regret at the death of
the unfortunate soldiersin the palace,
but declares that such things are in
evitable so long as the army is a bull
wark' of imperial autocracy. 1t says
the revolution is forced on Russia by
the governments repression of intel
lectual development, and that
the struggle must continue un-
til the car abdicates or
grants the constitution, aud it de-
clares: we will triumph at all costs" !"
The Russian ambassador has assured
the French government that its de-
cision in the matter Of the surrender
of Hartman, whatever it may be, will
notaffect the relations between France
and Russia. Dispatches from St. Pc
tersburg say General Milekof' would
be assassin, when arrested, behaved
in such manner as to suggest mental
arrangement, but the surgeon pro-
nounced him sane. When before
General Zurof, chief of police, for
preliminary examination, he made a
declaration regarding his arrest last
yearand escape from Jusk etc. He said
he was a native Of Minsk, thirty years
old, and became a convert from
Judaism because it was impossible
for Jew to live in st. Petersburg.
General lMclikof, Wednesday evening,
ordered court-martial on Thursday
morning, and trial began at eleven
O'Clock that day. The prisoner
was insolent in language and
demeanor, refused to stand up or take
any part in the proceedings, saying he
had nothing to add to what be had
already told to General Zuroff; that
he did not want to be troubled any
more, and wanted matters finished.
The dcpositicns were then read, and
the prisoner was withdrawn while the
court deliberated. He was brought
back at one o'clock, when the judg-
ment was pronounced.

West Tennessee.

The Huntingdon Vindicator having
complained that the commissioner of
the bureau Of agriculture has neg
lected West Tennessee, the Nashville
Banner replies as follows:
And now when the emigrant refuses
to be induced to go there a cry is
raised by the Huntingdon Vindicator.
that the commissioner has neglected
its section. Is this fair, just or honor
able? We leave it to the second
thought Of the Vindicator itself, if it
is right to charge to the fault of the
commissioner, that which is beyond
has control, or that Of any other man.
Let the question be asked of those
gentlemen who are Rest qualified to
know, and they will inform you that
this result is not due to any remissness
of the commissioner, but to the vista
tor of Providence. To those living
at a dlstance West Tennessee is
Memphis. They do not comprehend
that the fever was confined to remote
corner of the state, and that they
would enjoy as much immunity from
it as if they lived in New England.
They won't believe anything else, and
in spite of arguments, letters
publications and personal ap-
peals that they would run no
risk in enjoying them, they. after
quietly listening, turn their footsteps
in another direction. 1t has been the
constant effort of the bureau to induce
emigrants to come to Tennessee but
lnever has he made an effort to induce
them to go to any particular point.
He has continually tried to remove
any erroneous impressions about any
particular part of the state, but studi-
ously avoided settling them at any
point to the prejudice Of the others.
Under these circumstances it is not
fair, but manifest injustice in the
VindicatSr to charge careless
mess or want of attention to him.
IF the people of Carroll county and
West Tennessee generally, would take
the same pains to induce immigration
by means of publications and societies,
as is done by the other sections, there
would be no cause to complaint But
no other counties that we hear of
complain, as those who have taken the
pains to inform themselves, know
there is no Just cause.

his gobbling" instinct, he halted
before the presidents tent. Davis
horse was standing there, saddled
and bridled, and Lynde dis
mounted from his own steed, mounted
the other and rode directly into the
woods. When he returned, after an
absence Of a quarter of an hour,
Davis was at his tent door, and he
pointed his finger at Lynde and called
out:
Young man, that is my horse you
are riding "
Lynde replied with an epithet and
a curse. and was at once placed under
arrest by the officer in command.
The revOlvers were removed from the
holsters of the saddle, and Lynde was
allowed to ride the horse back to
Macon. He stated more than once that
he would kill the horse if not allowed
to keep him. At Macon he found the
animal would be taken away, and he
made good his threat. He took a sud-
den fancy one morning to clean his
rusty carbine, and while so doing he
walked down to the feed-line where
the captured horse was munching his
allowance of hay. Lynde hung around
for a time, and as he started to 60 he
threw his carbine over his shoulder.
A fash and report followed, and the
horse dropped dead in his tracks, shot
through the heart. Lynde claimed
that it was an accident, and it had to
90 at that.
Why did Lynde ride into the woods
when he captured the horse What
other reason did he have but to
plant the gold packed on the saddle
for hurried flight? There was an in
terval Of ten minutes between the fir
ing which alarmed the camp and the
appearance OF the Michigan troopers.
This time was occupied by the Davis
party in making ready for fight, and,
of course, they did not forget their
money. Lynde would answer no ques-
tions about it. He had soft thing"
and would not divide. When the reg.
imeut was mustered out at Nashville
he disappeared. Six months later he
turned up in Detroit with thousands
of dollars in his possession. He left
here TOR Europe, was gone nearly a
year, and when he returned was still
flush with greenbacks of the highest
denomination,

DIR. HUNTERS FALL.
HObOken SOcieIy Turns Up Over
the EIOpeInent Of Dr. Hunter
and MISS Emma
AnderVeit.

Special to the Courier-Journal.l
NEW YORK, March 3.-Much ex-
citement was caused in Hoboken soci-
ETY. circles yesterday by rumor that
DR.. j. G. Hunter. one of the best
known physicians of that city, and a
prominent memberof the First Metho-
dist Episcopalphurch, had eloped with
a young lady who had been visiting the
family. The doctor lived with his
wife and two chilkren in a handsome
building in Bloomfield street. He
disappeared from his home last Fri.
day afternoon, and at the same tine
the young lady, Miss Emma Ander-
vett was missing. Miss Andervett's
parents are well to-do residents Of
Staten Island. She was an intimate
friend Of Mrs. Hunter, and frequently
visited her On one of her visit
about three months ago, she
attended concert with
the doctor, and since tha
time he has been very friendly to
her. When she visited the house he
was constantly in her company, and
insisted on her remaining longer than
she wished. On Friday last She paid
another visit to Mrs. Hunter, and the
doctor was so attentive to her that
his wife became suspicious. After
supper the doctor proposed to Miss
Andervett that they .ake a short
walk together. She consented, aud
they left the house, the doctor telling
his wife that they would be back in a
few minutes They did not return
that night, and Mrs. Hunter became
alarmed and had a search instituted.
When they did not return on Satur-
day she suspected her husband had
eloped with Miss Andervett, and gave
up the search. Yesterday she received
the following letter, which confirmed
her suspicious;

" have been married to him eleven

answered Mrs. Mulcahy.
See here, Mr. Mulcahy, how much

How much do you earn week."

The magistrate looked first at the
complainant and then at the prisoner.
Then he read over the complaint to
see there was no mistake.
II cant well make an order where
aman gives his wife nine-tenths of his
earnings"
Then turning to the complainant,
the justice said:
"You arc a very foolish woman to
have your husband arrested. If |
were he | would never set eyes on you
again. III make an order that he
pay you $3.50 per week, and require
him to give bonds in $500. I'll parole

JEFFERSON DAVIS CAPTURE.
A New and Sensational Account
Ofthat Historic Event.

Detroit Free Press,l
The fact that a man who was one of
the first to enlist in the confederate
service, and who was for years an
ardent admirer OF Jefferson Davis, not
only assisted in the capture Of the
fugitive president, but gobbled his
horse end stole mis- money, can be sus
tained by at least half a dozen resi-
dents Of Detroit who we're members of
the Fourth Michigan cavalry. In the
last year Of the war James Lynde, a
private soldier in Virginia regiment
and stationed at Petersburg, deserted
to the Union side, and after time
enlisted in the Fourth cavalry. He
was an intelligent, active man, but a
determined forager. The fact that he
had been a southerner and had fought
for the southern cause did not inter-
fere with his robbing southern people
whenever he had an opportunity. 1t
was more than his captain could do to
keep him with his company more than
three days Of the week, and he was
never known to draw sabre in a
fight. To sum him up, Lynde had
the reputation Of hummer and a
shirk, but he managed, as did hun
dreds Of others, to pull through some
way and escape punishment.
The Fourth cavalry were at Macon
when Davis fled from Richmond, and
it was the first regiment out in pur-
suit. After a march of two days the
regiment was dividedinto three detach-
ments, two of which held and guarded
river fords, and the third pushed on
towards Irwinsvillc. No one had GER
tain information, and the chances Of
intercepting the fugitive were as good
with one as another.
The detachment which pushed on
got its first information from negro,
who had met the fugitiyes, but had
no idea who they were. Following up
the trail, it was pushed until the party
was found in camp. The hour was
late. but when it was ascertained that
a Wisconsin regiment was in camT
near by no time was lost in moving fol
the capture. The Wisconsin mer
!. had blundered upon the presidential
eamp, having made no hunt and fol
lowed no trail. They had gone into
camp for the night, not intending tC
make a move before daylight. AS the
Michiganders advanced, part oil then
ran foul of the Badgers, and sharT
skirmish took place, each losing
a man killed and wounded before
the mistake was discovered. TIL,

The Boston Post gives its readers
the following information:
The Blaine literary bureau is now
in full operation at Washington, and
country journals are being supplied
with extracts from New York and
Pennsylvania papers, strongly recon-
mending Blaine and as strongly op
posing Grant. The Newton Journal,
having received one of these Blaine
circulars with the request that it pub
lish the extracts, begins an editorial
article. i'll this way: I'VE have re-
marked before that this man Blaine
did not possess ten cents worth OF
political principle--that he was purely
and simply schemer in his
own interests, and cited all the
evidence that was necessary to
prove our statements, though not one
tenth of what could be added if neces-
sary; but here is new evidence OF
his trickery which may be interesting
and profitable to those who have been
mistaken in their estimation of Blaine
as a patriot and statesman. The
method adopted by these Blaine
henchmen for making capital for their
pet is characteristic OF Blaine, who
no doubt connives at all the plans,
and while pretending an unconcern is
really the most active worker in his
