Radical Congressman Arrested For En-.
beZZlement.
New York Sun, 18th inst.J


There was a sensation in Hackensack, n. J.,
yesterday, when it became known that Con-
gresham Charles ii. Voorhis. the Republican
Representative of the Fifth District of New
Jersey, had been arrested on an indictme Mt
procured last April charging him with embez-
zling s. 900 from his fellow Itownsman, Jacob
P. Westervelt, who had intrusted that sum TO
him for the purchase of bonds of the Hacken-
sack Water Company. The Indictment was
made public at the time it was obtained, and
many persons in Hackensack rrophesied that
Mr. Voorhis would never return to his home
but, his Congress ssional privileges
ceased to exempt him from arrest, would take
flight TO Europe To the surprise of most of
his neighbors, Mr.. Charles H. Voorhis returned
TO his home Thursday afternoon, and was
received at the depot by his friend and fami-
ly. The news of his arrival soon spread
through the town, but Sheriff D. A. Pell, who
held the warrant for his arrest, concluded not
to serve it until yesterday, and, feeling 10th
to perform the unpleasant dHty himself, as he
has known Mr.. VoOrhis from boyhood, he then
deputed Constable Earle to make the arrest

The Hope Excursion.


Nlcksburg Herald.
Some of the Northern people who think
the negroes in the South are suffering for the
necessaries of life and having a hard time
generally, should come down here and see a
"colored excursion'-the one that came
here Saturday, for instance, from Brandon
and Jackson. The excursion was got up by
the Hope Fire Company of Jackson, a color
ed organization, and they came in full force
and full uniform the long train was filled
with men, women, and children, and they
were all well-dressed and apparently well-to-
do, as when they were in town they seemed
to have money to spend and did expend it
with liberal hands. By the way, they were
orderly and we'll behaved, and altogether
seemed to be a contented and prosperous lot
of people We understand the Fire COmpa-
nv cleared over 5000 by the excursion,
which will give an idea of the extent of the
crowd, and of the ability of the colored peo-
pie to indulge in little pleasure. The col
ored people here have more excursions and
holidays in one year, than the European la
borers have in a lifetime.

Young Mr.. Buck who was Engaged in the

NEWTON, MISS, June a. 1890.
Cor. A. G. HoRN-You have, no doubt, seen
an account of the difficulty between J. g.
Thompson, of Ohio, and Beaumont Buck, of
Dallas, Texas, at Highland Fails, n. Y, which
resulted in Buck shooting Thompson, both stu
dents at the preparatory school, and candi-
dates for admission at West Point Military
Academy. see in some of the papers that
young Buck is called by some pretty hard
names, such as Texas rufian, etc. But, Col,
he did, perhaps, no more than any other boy
would have done under similar circum stances
and with grit to defend himself from insults.
Young Buck is a Mississippian; was born at
Mayhem, Lowndes county, on NJ. & o. K. r..
is nineteen years old. His IA ther moved from
Mayhem to Texas IN 1873. He is grandson
of William Garner who resides at Mayhem,
and who has lived in Lowndes county for
over 30 years. He moved from Virginia to
Lowndes county. Young Bucks father was
born in Holmes county, of this State. Both
Buck and his wife are of good families If
young Buck had shot southern boy there
would have not been much said about it; or,
If Thompson had shot Buck, it would have
been all right, as he was Texas rufhan.
