A STRANGE STORY.

Republicans will read the sub
joined extract from the Hartsville
Democrat, a low-tax organ, with
feelings Of most unmistakable won :
der. With this wonder the thought
will mix itself that the keeper Of
the insane asylum at Nashville has
been direlect in bis duty, and that
one of his patients, breaking loose
from that delectable institution, has
mounted the editorial tripod of the
Sentinel. Anything more absurdly
foolish we have never met with,
although it has been our i'll luck to
have been compelled to peruse much
low-tax idiocy. This Socrates writes
as follows: .... t.

A BEAUTIFUL CUSTOM.

1t IS with deep regret that We
notice the apathy existing over
the approaching day for decorating
the graves Of the national dead.
We do not mean to reflect in any
especial degree on this section, for
the same neglect is visible every>
where. We, of all places in the
south, however, ought to see that
this sweet, old custom is for ever
kept up. Loyal East Tennessee
should not allow the graves of patri-
OTIS that wore the blue 20 be unders
rated, or at least part .ly 50. The
majority of those now sleeping
their last sleep, gave up their lives
in our defense, and every principle
of honor and gratitude demands
that we do what little remains in
our pow :. to honor their memory.
The flag that waves over their mar
row homes floats over us only bes
cause of their devotion and the de-
votion of their comrades to it..
Were it not for that the stars and
bars would have been Haunting in
our pure, free, mountain air and the
old banner that our fathers loved SO
well would have been banished
from our sight. For its preserva-
ton they left their happy homes in
the north, tore themselves from the
embraces of their loved ones
and donning the trappings
of stern war went forth to
offer themselves a living sacrifice
for the America of Washington.
All through this section, in every
family almost, may be found union
soldiers who, more fortunate than
these, were permitted the great
privilege of returning to their
homes when the savage warfare was
ended. Is it possible that the mem.
ory of the old scenes of tented field
and reeking battle-ground, Of bayo'
net charges or the dashing Skin
mishes, of fierce onset or madden
ing retreat, of wounds and death,
are fading from their minds2 Is il
possible that the scenes of this life
Of peace are crowding to the rear
that time long since gone by wher
every man was patriot and every
soldier a brother? Have they be-
come so immersed in toiling fol-
wealth and enjoyment that they Car
no longer spare one day to deck thu
graves of their dead brothers wit
flowers? Can not the grief Q
widows and orphans move them Il
do this one pitiful honor? We ca
not believe it. Changes in condi
ton may have momentarily clOudei
their memories of The by-gone days
butitis only for a moment. We ar
sure that mention of the fact will b,
enough to arouse them to what il
their bounden, as it should be thei
| grateful. dutv

WASHINGTON, Sept 24.-Messrs. Beckwith
and Hovey, who investigated the steamer Mar
ragansett disaster, have forwarded their re-
port to General Dumont. They find, after a
careful review of all the testimony and the
circumstances of the collision, that George F.
Nye, master of the Stonington, did, or through
his pilot, alter the course of the Narragansett
without giving proper signals as required
that he failed to stop his steamer without
properly locating the Narragansett or until
proper signals could be gwen, answered, and
understood as required. upon sighting the Mar
ragansett; through carelessnesS or fOrgetful-
ness the signal was given to start the steamer,
which caused the collision. Upon his own ad-
mission there was found in Capt. Nye dispo-
sition to totally disregard the law as far as it
relates to the conveyance and transportation
OF greater number of passengers than is al
lowed by law, and in consequence he is liable
to the penalty prescribed by section 4413 for
the violation of the pilot rules, and that also
his license as master and pilot would be re-
voked had it not already expired by limitation.
The inspectors find that Capt. Young, mas
ter OF the Narrangansett, proceeded upon his
trip without the engineers department of his
steamer being in charge of chief engineer as
required by law; that while claiming to be in
charge OF the whole of his steamer and respon-
sible for her navigation, upon sighting the
Stonington and after the signal had been given
to slow and stop, through carelessness or ex-
element the signals were given to 60 ahead,
thereby forcing his steamer across the track of
the Stonington and also contributing to the
collision of the two steamers. Capt. Young is
also charged with poor judgment for leaving
his steamer in lifeboat with his pilot SO soon
after the collision, with so many passengers
remaining on board, and in consequence of
this and other violations his license as master
and pilot of steam vessels is revoked.
The steamship company is censured for not
providing the Narragansett with compile
ment of licensed engineers and the number of
watchmen required by law.

BRATTLEBoRo, VT, Sept 24.-The arrival
of S. M. Waite, the defaulter, created an uni
versal commotion in Brattleboro and vicinity
to-day. To avoid the crowd Waite was taken
in a carriage which drove to his residence,
where an affecting meeting took place between
himself and family. From there the party
drove to New Fame Jail. After Waite had
dined, he related his travels to the reporters.
He said he left Brattleboro with no intention
of every returning again alive. He went d.
rectly TO Greenfield, thence to Boston, Port
land, Montreal, Toronto, Duluth via Lake Su-
perior, ST. Paul, Omaha, Cheyenne. Pueblo to
Denver, thence to Omaha, up the North
Platte, through the centre and northern part
of Nebraska, and thence back to Omaha. He
also took run into Mexico but did not like
that country. If he had known of the gov
ernment's intentions and had had money he
should have endeavored to keep out of the
way, though he knew it would be foolish to 90
to Europe. When he left Brattleboro he had
less than $500, Notwithstanding reports to the
contrary He did not carry away note, bond
or anything of the kind. When questioned
about memorandum in his own writing show
ing he had taken $500 on the morning of his
departure. he replied:
used some money Just before left which
left me the sum stated above. may have
committed an offence in the eyes of the
law, but at the proper time propose to
tell where the capital of the bank has gone. 1
claim have never appropriated dollar to
my own individual use. If they bring me to
trial on charge of forgery there may be nit
igating circumstances to be considered by the
court. He did not care to go into details re-
garding his case now. BE asked the reporter
what in his judgment would be the sentence
if found guilty, and receiving no definite re-
ply said he could not live to serve out long
sentence. Again he ASKED the sheriff what
were the labors in State Prison and other SIM
liar questions. eff" said he, 'they do not
put bail too high may find friends to guaran-
tee it, otherwise suppose 1 must CO." On
taking leave of the party who accompanied
him to Jail he showed considerable emotion
and hoped that he might meet them again.
He pleaded with the officers not to put him.
behind the bars for the night, but the State
Attorney thought best to treat him the same
as other prisoners.
