The author of this book has drawn his
material entirely from incidents that came under
his own personal observation during the many
years which he travelled through the South, on
horseback visiting every village, hamlet, and al
most every dwelling In that section Of the country
as an agent Of the American Bible Society In
this way he had an opportunity of acquiring
a more intimate knowledge of the Gus
toms the habits, and the feelings
of the people In their home life and domestic re-
latons than could possibly have been obtained In
any other way and the experiences which he
gives are not only deeply interesting but decidedly
instructive. They treat entirely OF the times be-
from the system of slavery are set forth with an
| earnestness and fidelity that can but make those
best interested in the welfare Of the South thank
ful that that bar to their progress and blot upon
| civilization is now swept away.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Nav 6. The greater part
of to-days executive session was occupied
with a discussion as to the ACCESSIBILITY of re-
moving the injunction of secrecy from the
previous proceedings in regard to the Chinese
treaties.
The subject was brought before the Senate
by motion, to authorize the publication of
the written speech of Mr. Hoar This was
agreed to.
Thereupon resolution was offered to ex-
tend the same privilege to all other senator's
who discussed treaties, but it was determined
that this would be unfair to senators who had
not prepared speeches, ami that it would be
wholly impracticable to recall from memory
large portion of the debate.
The proposition to make all proceedings
public was therefore voted down, and the
Senate soon afterward adjourned, without
quorum. pending the discussion of the mo-
ton to reconsider the vote bv which the pub

the DIVISION OF the Gulf Is restored to the

The Tribune says: Senator Harrison
is at his home in indianapolis for few
days attending to business affairs. He
tells his friends there that he has no doubt
that Robertsons nomination will be con-
firmed by majority of both republicans
and democrats if a vote is reached. That
is the opinion of every well-informed man
on the subject. The Conkling policy is to
prevent a vote being reached. and so long
as the Senators are so easily bulldszed by
the Primate rs they seem to be now. that
policy will prevail. The press of the
country. however. is talking pretty plainly
and it may be that the Senators will real
ize after while that the wrath of their
constituents is more to be feared than the
wrath of the Primate.''

The New York Nominations.

WASHINGTON, Nav ). The following may
be regarded as an authoritative statement OF
the administration side of the new phase of
the Robertson Conkling matter The action of
the last republican caucus made it plain that
Senator Conkling was using his influence to
bring about final adjournment after the con-
firmation of all nominations in which he had
an interest, and leaving Robertson hung up
in his Commerce Committee, while there
was to be another caucus over the contested
nominations. The advantages were with
Conkling. The exhibitions of his power in
the caucus and the Senate have been too re-
cent and too significant to leave much doubt
of the result, should all the nominations ex-
cept that of Judge Robertson be confirmed,
a result which promised to be speedily
reached If this programme mad been
carried out, the situation, in so far as the
administration was concerned would have
been the most undesirable which it enc
mics could have planned. THE President"
it would have been said, ''ventured to
assert himself III defiance of Mr.. Conkling's
will. and has failed to carry his point in any
respect When the purpose of Senator
Conkling became manifest, by the action of
the caucus in defining contested nominations
the President determined to take steps to
protect his administration from discredit.
From the outset he has intended to give
conspicuous recognition to that element of
the republican party in New York of which
Judge Robertson is the foremost representa-
tive. Having given ample assurances by
first nominating several Conking men to i'm
portant positions, that he bore no i'll will to
that senator, he named Judge Robertson as
a suitable recognition of the independent re-
publicans. Now he withdraws the nomina-
tons Of Mr.. Conklings friends, not, as is
asserted by Mr.. Conkling and his supporters
tonight, as challenge to that senator, but
so that in the event of the rejection of Rob
ertson or the failure of the Senate to take
any action, he may have the other important
vacancies in New York with which to give
recognition to the element which made his
own nomination and election possible.
Republican senators are still actively work
ing to promote harmony. number of them
tonight called upon the President and sug-
gested that he could, without surrendering
any principal, now withdraw the name of
Judge Robertson. and leave a clean slate.
These senators have all discovered that the
president is as firm a rock in his position
He represented in the plainest terms his I'M
Willingness to be placed in the position
which Senator Conkling would have made
for him, and declared that he would not I'M
der any circumstances withdraw the nomina
ton of Judge Robertson. Some senators
who before to-day asserted that they would
move to discharge the committee from further
consideration of Judge Robertson's nomina
ton, have said again tonight that this action
OF the president will make no difference in
that respect, and that they will have a vote
upon the question in any event

Another RuDaway-A Broken wrist tne
Result.-Seizure of Liquor.

Thursday afternoon as man named
Esmond was driving with an express team
from the residence of Mr.. Frank Richards,
and having with him in the team three ladies',
the horse took fright and began to run at a
fearful rate. The wagon was overturned ana
the occupants thrown out. One OF the ladies,
Mrs. Daily. had wrist broken, besides
sustaining several cuts and bruises about the
head. The others escaped with only siignt
injuries. The horse, after relieving himself
of his human freight, proceeded with I'M

caught soon after. The wagon to which he
was attached was much altered in appearance.

The reign of terror among our rumsellers

of our police force are conducting the searches

cessful. Quite haul was made at the

Thomas and Constable Burns. knob was

ing key hole, and when this was unlocked,
considerable portion of the wall was let
down disclosing an aperture from which
about bushel of bottles containing liquors
were taken. This was certainly an ingen-
ious plan of conceament, and the officers
should be congratulated for detecting it.
