His Case.
The rumor tonight is that the sub

Mr.. Acklin's case in hand will certainly,
on Tuesday, report To the full committee
in favor OF his expulsion and yet the
committee was only Instructed by the
House TO ascertain whether the charges
made by the newspapers were true or
false. For my own part do not think
that he has been guilty Of any inten-
tonal wrong but has only perpetrated
an act OF foolish ofliciousness. He is as
lacking in judgment and good taste as
he is unlucky. The members Of the
House, especially the older ones, do
not admire him because he has not
been at all modest, but has assumed
prominence, when, as a new member
and young man, he ought to
have been quiet. The circumstances
Of his case are briefly as follows: About
the middle of January, while not a
member Of the Foreign relations com
mittee, he made, without authority,
report on resolution for a special COM
mittee To consider Nicaragua claims.
The next day it appeared in the Record
IA the report of Gen. King, OF Louisi-
ana, who was q member OF that com-
mittee and had charge of the resolution
in question. Gen. King VAS then at
home i'm Louisiana, and on his return 10
Washington, January cath, caused MIR.
Acklin To make an explanation which
did not satisfy either Congressman or
correspondents. subsequently, at MIR.
Acklin's instance, the matter was 70
ferrrd To the Committee on Foreign Re

THE REMARKABLE ADVENTURES
OF A NOTED MISSISSIPPI FID-
DLER.
From the Washington Miss Gazette.
In 1873 General PembertoD COM
manded al this point. Colonel
Hemingway owned faithful
slave Peyton by name--a noted
negro fiddler, known for miles
around and highly respected by
both back and white. When his
young master, w. Lynn Hemiog-
way, at present State Treasurer Of
Mississippi. joined the ole Scar
roll Rifles he took Peyton along
as trusted servant. He went
with him into Virginia and re-
turned home in 1868. In Februa-
ry or March of that yeaI a faith
full spy was needed TO visit the
Federal gunboats then coming
down the river on Fort Pember-
ton. Peyton at once undertook
the mission, and representing
himself as fugitive slave to the
commanders of the boats was
well received. Being bright far
beyond ordinary he managed 10
secrete their official papers maps,
etc., and escaped with those docu-
ments to Fort Pemberton. At
ter the fall of Vicksburg, in July
following. Peyton went with his
young master again to Virginia,
where he remained until the sur
render of General Lee. The for
mer being compelled to remain
a number OF days thereafter, in
order TO comply with the formali-
ties of the surrender, sent Peyton
ahead of him to his home, near
Carrollton, Miss. On his way,
however, he was betrayed to the
enemy by some confederate as the
spy who had deceived them above
Fort Pemberton, was captured and
carried in irons TO New York,
thence TO Cuba, and sold as slave,
together with many others. The
vessel on which he was taken was
a Federal gunboat. In Cuba he
worked as slave In factories for
nearly fifteen years, being
entirely cut off from all commu-
nication with home and friends.
He made seven attempts to escape
from bondage, all but the last, of
course being unsuccessful. Final
~ he found an American vessel,
commaned by a Southerner, 10
whom he related the history of his
capture, enslavement and forced
exile, and begged to be returned
to his home aud family. The cap
tain secreted him In the hold of
his vessel, carried him to Costa |
Rica, thence to New York. Pey-
ton then worked his way to Vir-
ginia, where a number of ladies
raised the means to return him to |
his home after an absence of sew
enteen-years. He reached Vino
ma, Mississippi, on the 18Th of
April, 1880. Peyton says that num-
bers of mulatto women are being
constantly sold in Cuba as slaves.
Northern men marry them, take
them to Cuba on "bridal tour
and there sell them as cook and
fancy house servants, He saw
one sold last fall by the man who
married her for $500 and further,
that as he came through Cincin-
natl on his way home he saw the
man. and recognized him, who
sold her Ia Cuba. The facts above
given are from one of the most re-
liable and responsible gentlemen
in Mississippi, written to distin-
guished member of Congress from

whole truth is known, the reflection Is
anything but creditable upon the adj
ministralion in shielding the Infamous
red wretches. We may doubt If the
evident purpose of Mr.. schurz will
succeed. The outrage upon the un'
fortunate women will not be forgotten
during the winter, and when spring
shall come the indignant sons, hus-
lands and fathers of Colorado will be
very apt to see that the great crime is
revenged, whatever may be the
policy of the government. Such q
thing as this Touses men quicker and
makes them fercer than o score OF
Indian massacres Of white men can
do. 1t will be hard to control the

FOREIGN.

London, THE Cologne Gazette,
in a long article relerring to the
speech OF Prince Hohenlohe, German
ambassador st Paris, on the occasion
of President GrGVy's reception OF the
diplomatic corps on New Years Day,
declares the. peace OF Europe is
threatened by Russia only, and Ger
many and Austria are determined
to held Rusaia in check. Tne
article is remarkable for its
threatening lone towards France and
the no; t!!ity to Russia. 1t declares
that BismaTk only authorized HoheE-
lohe'a speech in which be expressed
the cordial sen.imeI t. of Germany
towards France. DeFreyciuet,
French premier, in reply to Prince
BismsrCk's inquiry, had given a
satisfactory statement Of his foreign
policy, and the article adds that no
ministry in France can Ia t long if
Bismarck opposes. To such a purpose
heaven 30 thanked We possess the
requisite material force and mental
power which stands at the head OF it.
No state can stand on good terms
with Germany which enters into
political intimacy with Russia. After
his explanation, DeFrycinet, like his
predecessor, will pru5ently regard
any too close connection with Russia
as dangerous and will decline to play
with fire; and. therefore, SO long SIS
he is ali right with Prince Bis
msrck, he may rest in his political
ideas, q Jacobin or net. At
home the French may manage
their affairs as they like, only
they must not threaten US or the
peace Of Europe; or which, for the
moment, is the same thing, they
must not by any attitude of theirs en-
courage Russia to enter into new ad-
ventures. This is what Prince Bis
marck has let Paris know, and that
be is assured OF satisfactory and
corresponding attitude on the part of
De Freycinet in reference TO Russia is
a fact that he has caused TO be de-
clared to the world in Paris on New
Years Day, in the form OF a test;-
monisl OF confidence in the new
French cabinet. This explanation,
accordingly, is in an eminent degree
a message intimating q continuance
of the peace Of Europe.
The Times, in reproducing the
above article, calls attention to the
fact that recently toe Cologne Gazette
has faithfully represented Prince Biz
marcks views on questions of foreign
policy.
