tee. At first, these Republican Senators
thought that they could make the most
out of the investigation, and were for
it; failing to do SO, the organs of the
party are now anxious to make out that
the investigation was all wrong, and
are willing to lie like devils to show
that no good has been accomplished.
Whatever the cost has been, it has been
money well expended The investiga-
ton has developed a deep laid, infa-
nous Republican scheme to gain part
isan triumph. Republican conspirators
have gone South and gathered up the
most miserable class of negroes and
shipped them to Indiana to vote the
Republican ticket. 70 do this they
have subjected the ignorant pauper
negroes to sickness, hunger, cold,
starvation and death, and now when
their damnable schemes have been un-
earthed, and their true character and
cussedness have been exposed, they cry
out: Money, EXPENSE" etc. But
the facts, in spite of false swearing on
the part of some of the kidnapers, have
been brought to light, and will be still
further forced upon the attention of the
people. State Sentinel.

Claude Melnotte in Real Life.

/ was recently told by young French
gentleman (the son of the Prefect of
La Rochelle) one of the strangest ro-
mances of real life that ever came to
my knowledge. Some four years ago
peasant boy who lived on a farm near
the town of Clermont-Ferrands saw and
fell in love with the beautiful daughter
of gentleman of good fortune and po-
sition, he being at the time seventeen
years of age and the young lady just
sixteen. This new Claude Melnotte
was SO madly in love that he went
straight to the house of the young girls
parents and demanded her hand in
marriage. The father treated the pre-
posterous proposition with good-natured
scorn. .sCone back when you have
an income of 200, 900 francs, ($40, ,000),"
was his answer, ''and then we will see
about it.'h The infatuated youth took him
at his word, and forthwith set to work.
Now, one of the peculiarities Of the
town of Clermont-Ferrand is scarcity
of water. There is no river near it, SO
it relies for its water supply on springs
and wells Under these circumstances,
a spring is a valuable piece ofproperty,
and commands a relative high price.
So the young peasant lover set OFT for
an adjacent mountain, there to search
for hidden springs. My informant said
that he had honeycombed the whole
side of the mountain with his works
constructing at one point tunnel over
two miles in length. All this was exc
cuted with his own hands. He works
from dawn to dark, lives upon potatoes
of his own planting, and never spends
so much as sou upon a mug of beer.
Every Sunday he goes to mass in the
town, after which he proceeds to the
house of his ladv-love, to ask if she is
married, or likely to be. On receiving
response in the negative he plods con-
tentedly homeward and starts out
fresh to his toll on the morrow. This
life has continued now for full ten
years. Up to the present time he has
discovered three important springs,
each of which he has sold for $4,000,
but though now possessed of what for a
man in his condition of life is wealth,
he abates none of the hardships of his
existence He has one fixed idea,
namely, to become the possessor of a
| fortune sufficient to enable him to claim
the hand of the object of his blind pas
| sion. Yet no one who knows the part
les even imagines that the young lady
will ever consent to marry him. She
is now twenty-six years of age, and is
pretty; refined and accomplished,
while he is a coarse, unlettered peas
ant, without even physical comliness,
as he is short, thick-set, with a broad.
stolid countenance. What will be the
end of his dream. 1 wonder? My in
formant told me that the story was true
in every particular; he had himself Wis
tied the works, and entered the Curl
GUS tunnel, and been presented to this
new Jacob. willing to serve even more
than seven years for his Rachel.-Mrs.
Hoopers Letter to Philadelphia 'Iete-

The Harvest Reaped by Hayes.

:
Mr. Hayes had no sooner vetoed the
Deficiency Appropriation billsthan the
fruit of his rashness began to appear.
The United States District Court at New
York has been compelled to suspend
proceedings because there is no money
to pay jurors, witnesses and officers of
the Court. Something very similar has
taken place in St. Louis, where the
United States Jurors summoned to ap-
pear before the Court have been noti-
fed not to come because there is no
money to pay them. The bill vetoed
by Mr.. Hayes made appropriations for
these very purposes, and had it be-
come law no such suspension of the
public business would have taken place.
Mr. Hayes rests his veto on the ground
that there was legislation in the bill
changing the method of appointing
deputy Marshals for, elections; but this
does not relieve him from the responsi-
bility for the present arrangement of
business in the Courts. He is to blame
for it. Congress has a right to pass the
appropriation bills in the form most
acceptable to itself 1t legislates for
the country, not for Mr.. Hayes. The
case AS it stands is a very plain one:
Congress passed the Appropriation bill
and Mr.. Hayes vetoed it, not on account
of anything Objectionable in it, but
because he did not like the shape of it;
and therefore the Courts are without
money to pay their expenses. s.-E1-

BERRY SCoGGINs had committed q
murder at Thomasville, Ga, and was
fugitive in the mountains At every
mealtime he boldly entered somebody's
house, demanded place at the table
with the family, and ate with a cooked
gun lying across his lap. A Sheriff and
a large party at length went out to hunt
him down. He took position on the
top of hill and fired on them; but he
had only a shotgun and they could
keep out of his range, while still within
rifle distance. Their best marksman
was deputed to shoot him, and four
bullets were lodged in him, causing
death.

latter is so comical in it's motions that
crowds of visitors constantly throng

the mother takes the cub to the bathing
tub and teaches him to swim. The
lesson being over, she takes him with

We are due our venerable confrcre OF
the Vicksburg Commercial, IN apology
for reproducing from his columns, last
week, an article without giving the
proper credit. 1t was our purpose,
when handing the extract to the CON-
positor, not only to give the credit, but
to add some comments of our own !;
but this purpose was neglected., and
the forms were made up, the extract
appearing as original. We assure our
brother that we never steal from our
contemporaries, but if we should ever
have occasion so to do, the CONNER
cial in his charge will be most tempt
ing mine. That he considers this one
theft a compliment, softens our afflic-
ton, but will not "aggravate" us to
commit a second, unintentional, or
otherwise. In this instance, we are
still further consoled in knowing that
the sentiments of our contemporary
were ours, but much more felicitously
expressed than we were capable OF
doing.

The Republicans of the Bird district
have nominated DIR. G. Ii. Darrell for
Congress. The nominee is popular
man with his party, and if the Demo-
cratic discussions in that district are
not healed, his election seems not at
all improbable. But the threatened
split in the Democratic party, it seems
likely, will be averted, as the ENecu-
tive Committee of the district has
called a new nominating convention
to assemble at Morgan City on the LIST
Of September. This was wise stop,
and we are pleased to see that it was
taken with the approval of General
Billiu, the nominee OF the first convcn-
ton, as, We trust, he will be of that
which is to follow.
