Writing about GRANT, Jane Grey

that he sold his Washington residence, the
gift Of loyal people, to one man, signed
the articles of agreement, and received
1000 in payment and then, while this
article stood on record, sold it again to a
higher bidder, and sought to win the
owners acquiescence by rendering him the

Negroes Kobelling Anainst Carpet Baggers.
Those colored politicians down South
are growing painfully plain-spokeu. At
the recent Republican state convention in
South Carolina, June Mobely, a colored
delegate from Union county, got on the
rampage over his own exclusion from the
delegation to Chicago, and he denounced
the carpet -baggers with voluble wrath. He
said he was ''tired of keeping in office set
of good-for-nothing loafers, who did no
work and lived off the credulity of the col
ored men," He declared that the colored
men had been free for twelve years, and
that they would not submit to be any
longer the slaves of a new set of masters.
He preferred party composed exclusively
of colored men, but if he must associate
with white men in politics, he "would 90
with the decent men of the state" He
thus continued:
Il am ashamed of myself for ever sup
porting such men. am tired of such
men. No wonder the Democrats say that
the niggers are not able to govern them
selves, when they select to govern
them such ill-begotten white men
as you see before you tonight.
You elect these white men to the
national convention and you won't see
them again. When they meet you on the
street and nobody is looking they damn
the Democrats ; but the next thing you
know you see them walking arm in arm
with Democrat, and saying these d-n
niggers want to put on too many airs, they
want to rise up We must elect people
that will suit US. The day is coming, and
thank Ged our people will recognize men
and manhood. We should teach these
gents that we are the Republican party in
South Carolina, and that we don't propose
to remain in slavery any longer. If you
look into tho papers you will see all these
men saying Hampton was good man.
They thought they would fool him IS they
have fooled US. But, thank God, Hamp-
ton was too smart for them"

IT would seem to he in order for Judge
Patterson to cause a rule to be served
upon Brother Reynolds to show cause
why he should not he disbarred for con-
tempt of court. According to the argu-
ment which Mr.. Reynolds has ready to
deliver to the supreme court, in
the case of the Lancaster county
Judge against Messrs. Steinman and
Hensel, the bench suffers greatly from
the disrespect paid 10y attorneys, and it is
it's solemn duty to defend its dignity and
fame at every hazard. We are sure that
Brother Reynolds has some very pretty
language to this effect in his GRAFTON,
which we expect to listen to with
pleasure. Persuaded by the force OF this
logic, Judge Patterson, being stern
Roman, will not fOrbear the hand OF JUS
tice from his chosen advocate, however
tearfully he lets it fall, and Mr.. Rey-
nolds will step down and out like good
man who believes what he breaches.

THERE is on file in the recorder Office,

drawn up by one of the foremost lawyers
Of the state. The document is the trans
fer of real estate and iron interests belong
ing to Miss Annie C. Coleman, of Corn

Archibal Rogers, in New York, the other

property, excepting personal property,
jewelry, cash in hand, horses, carriages,
furniture, &C., to her brother, Robert
Coleman, of Cornwall, to be held by him,
he agreeing to pay certain amounts as the
annual income of the estate. Due provi-
sion is made for the distribution of the
property in the event of the death of the
lady and there being heirs born Of the
marriage. The document is duly signed
by Mr.. Rogers who promises never to do
anything to interfere with the above ar
rangements. The document makes due
provision, in the event of their being child

THE accident which occurred at the

The accident which occurred at the
West Walnut street crossing this NOM
ing is another almost fatal demonstra-
ton of the necessity for stationing
watchmen at such crossings. With all
intelligent persons it must increase the
indignation at the Pennsylvania railroad
company's neglect to comply with
the directions of the city ordi-
nance on this subject. Scores OF simi-
lar accidents have happened at this
point, some of then. of even more seri-
GUS character than this one and the rail-
road company has been appealed to by
the citizens and by the city authorities
to either place watchman at the cross
ing or to obey the city ordinance re-
stricting the speed of trains within the
city limits; but these appeals have been
utterly unhee eied and contemptuously dis
missed by the comnany. The crossing IS
one of the most dangerous on the road.
It is point over which there is great
deal of travel, the railroad intersectlng
diagcnally both Walnut and Prince
streets; and owing to the Relay house
and other buildings obstructing
the view, it is impossible to see
an approaching train that may he head
ing up the north track or backing up the
south one, until it is too late to avoid a
collision. Add to this the fact that every
day there are great numbers Of cars be-
ing shifted upon the numerous sidings in
the vicinity, and it will be seen the prob
ability of accidents is largely increased
1t is simply villainous that the railroad
company has not long ago placed a
watchman there to warn the unwary.

"But tell me have you loved before:
Or one, or mOre:"
The eager sparkling face
Was full of tender, trusting grace:
She did not fear his answer then,
Her king OF men!
But tell me. dear, the best and worst,
Or am first?"
He turned his eyes away;
Yet closer still her hand he pressed.
Nor answered yea Ornay;
A blush confessed
All. in one burning word.

Quick came burst of tears
A tempest storm from April sky
And then, /" Forgive my doubts and fears,'
He heard he, sigh;
why should care what loves are past
So mine ut last?"

ARKANSAS.
Scanlans Post Office.

A correspondent in our neighboring
state writes us in the following exult-
ant manner:
"The recent action of the postmaster
general, establishing an Office at
Scanlan's landing, is duly esteemed by
our community as regardful for its in
terests in furnishing facilities for the
prompt delivery or mail matter here
tofore sent to a distant office, with
the attendant delay, and often ex-
pense, of a special messenger.
What was before deemed a mere
desideratum now swells to the magni-
tude of a necessity, and we can hardly
realize having so long and patiently
endured the priyation withouta move
Or effort for relief. But the saying
goes, "What is everybody's business is
nobody's business" How long this
condition of things would have con-
tinued, transcends the forecast Of the
writer but, at last, the remedy was
found in the public spirit, push and
pluck of Mr.. Milton P. Remley having
charge of one Of Thomas H. Aliens
plantations, the "Waverly place"
who moved earnestly in the matter,
never relaxing until the institution
was an accomplished fact. Yes, we
have an office-such as the late Col
onel McMahon would have styled a
perfect bijou. Not one of your great
big metropolitan carivansaries, with
all its rush and roar, and wbirl and
hustle, but neat, quiet, cosy
retreat, whence to receive letter
manipulated by the smiling and polite
postmaster, is very luxury, even ex
trinsic of the contents of the missive.
So, Mr.. Editor, you can send on your
EVENING LEDGER with its crowded
columns Of latest news, and stately
and solid editorials, with assurance Of
prompt delivery to its expectant and
appreciative readers in this part Of the
political vineyard"

A Tidal Wave.

A correspondent of the Nashville
Banner, writing from Castillian
Springs, Sumner county, saysl
Politics are creating more interest
among the people here than for long
time, We like the stand taken by
the Banner FOR moderation and con
ciliation. We are divided here, as
elseRheFe, on the high and low tax
question; but not so much, either, for
out of two hundred and fifty demo-
cratic votes in this, the First district
of Sumner, Wilson will get two
hundred. The Wilson men claim it
is not a high or low tax question ex-
actly, They argue that the object of
the bondholders is to get the power as
far from the people as possible.
When you say to them that the ques-
ton is and will be directly before
them in the election of representa-
tives to our next legislature, they tell
you legislatures can be bought,
etc. / am constantly in contact
with a portion Of Trousdale and
Wilson countiep, and | tell you a
large majority Of tho people see are
more like they were in 1854, when
the question of separation was before
us, than anything can compare it to.
The negroes have the idea that we
must vote on everything, and declare
themselves in favor OF submitting
everything TO a vote,
A few days ago | met a prominent
man, who is man of superior ability,
and thinking he would represent us
efficiently and faithfully in the state
senate, solicited him to become Q
candidate. He replied that he had
been solicited by others, and would
be glad to serve his friends, but that
he had conferred with his friends in
| the different counties, and was salts
fed no man could be elected TO any
othce-not even oonstable--if he op.
posed submitting any and every ques.
tion to the people. He said they
are solid on that proposition. This

CRUISING ON THE RIVER.
The Quarantine Boat BenDer
Tripping IL SOuthward.

Some stir was created last night
and this forenoon by the fact that the
national board Of health steamer H.
H. Benner shipped up a crew in a
hurry during last evening, and got
under way for down the river at late
hour, with a view, it is said, of inter
cepting the towboat Raven and barges,
on which there has been several cases
of sickness of some unexplained char
acter. The Raven stopped at, or of
Vicksburg on her passage up the river,
aud the health inspector, DIR, Rice,
found portion Of the crew on the
sick list. They were removed, it is
also said, to the hospital at Vicksburg.
The boat proceeded on her way up the
river, under protest. The officials on
the Benner will perhaps compel the
Raven to return to the quarantine
station near Vicksburg, and, perhaps,
will permit her to come too, off the
station near Presidents Island. 1t is
rumored that the sick crew were only
suffering from too much watermeiOns,
og an attack Of swamp chills.
