THREE or four hundred people, re-
presenting all parties, met at the
Greenlaw Operahouse last night. The
object announced was to ratify the
ticket headed by Mr.. Henry j. Lynn.
Speeches were made by General Tur-
ner and Ed, Shaw, in a temper
ate tone. A committee was
appointed to confer with the
gentlemen named to compose the
ticket and report back to another
meeting to be held Saturday night.
There seems to be some doubt whether
Mr.. Lynn can accept the nomination
without losing his present position as
Secretary of an insurance company,
He seems to be personally acceptable
to all classes, and is particularly so
with those who are held TO-
gether by what is known
Low Tax sentiments. He is man Of
business capacity, fairness and sufi-
cicnt nerve to fiji any public position

GUETEAU's TRIAL.
DIR. Calendar, Of Nashville, Says
he is Sane.

WASHINGTON, December 29.
Guiteau came into the courtroom This
morning looking paler than usual. He
complained that he had not slept well
during the night Last evenings a man
was placed in a cell near his who was
suffering from a most violent type oil
mania, caused by the excessive use Of
morphine, and during the whole night
his sbrieks rang through the jail,
Guiteau was annoyed and asked what
was the occasion for such a riot. The
keeper replied: We've got a crazy
man on our hands tonight"
well" said Guiteau, why don't
you choke him and make him keep
quiet, and not let respectable people
be disturbed in this way by a miserable
lunatic."
DR.. Mcdonald again took the stand
this morning and was cross examined
by Scoville. The questions we're
mainly to the subject of temporary in
sanity, and the witness was asked if in
his practice he had not met an in.
stance of temporary insanity. He re
piled yes, sir; | know Of a man who
was insane for twenty-four hours"
Scoville-eagerly, "And then he got
well2"
"No, sir he died. Laughter at
Seoville's expense.
Witness was then asked what he
meant yesterday by saying II think he
(prisoner) has been playing a
part in Court" and he re-
piled: 81 believe he has been
Ceigning what he believed to be in
sanity, but not really insanity. be-
lieve he has been attempting to give
the impression in Court that he is
insane, and with that idea has been
acting a part" Scoville soon became
involved in a discussion with the
counsel on the pertinence Of the
question, when Guiteau shouted:
"You had better lot him 60. You are
making altogether too much Of him,
If you have not got sense enough to
see it l will have to tell you"
Allusion was made to the axe Incl.
dent, when Guiteau commented con.
temptuously, "Oh, rubbish" and
shortly afterwards, Doctor, just tell
us something about Abraham and we
will let you CO."
DR.. John Fl. Calender, of Nash,
vile, and Superintendent of the Ten

had given special attention to the
study Of insanity for past twelve
years. He had seen about 1000
cases during his connection with the
Tennessee asylum. Witness visited

Young man we'll known in society
THE girls Of this city are coming

three Of them live in Prospect, one on

eXtravagaut young man; "the enes |

The reporter made inquiry, and
found that gambling is more or less

which one beautiful little creature

vOuchsafed the statement that
"straights don't count" would have
done credit to General Sehenck.
One young lady took occasion to ex
plain that they do not call it gambling
because the only game which prevails
is one cent ante, and that the only
reason they use money is because the
game is so frightfully uninterestinq
unless there is a financial question,
however small, involved. 1t was ad-
mitted that penny ante frequently
resulted in temporary embarrassment,
the informant herself knowing how it
feels to go broke" One devotee
modestly proclaimed herselft to be way

she had no end of handkerchiefs.

ern Confederacy went down, General
Breckenridge's Adjutant General aud

Louisville School Board, and Captain
j. R. Briggs, formerly Assistant
Quartermaster General of Dibbrell's s

to days Courier-J Journal very definite
information as to what became of the
remnant of the Confederacy treasure
that was moved from Richmond by
order Of President Davis.
Major Davis shows that the bullion
was exchanged with Richmond bank
ers for $1O7, 900 in coin, and distrib-
uted in equal shares among the officers
and soldiers of Breokenridge's com
mand.
Captain Briggs details the distribu-
tion of all the money under Mr.. Davis

ident ordered him to "pay all alike

specific information, aud thoroughly
disposes anything that may be left Of

The Oldest Mnn Married.

DeSeto Democrat
The marriage of Mr.. John Soiourn-

markable affair. Mr. Soiourner is 92
years Of age. He served as a soldier
in the war with Great Britain in 1872
and now draws a pension from the
Government. He has been married
fine times, and all his widowhood put
together only amounts to a little over
year. He has no children living,
and only FIVE grand children. He has
been member Of the Baptist church
for eighty years. He is a sprightly
aud vigorous man yet, and bids fair to
live many years more. He is the
oldest man living in this parish, and
there are but few older than him in
the State, and DR.. Stribling can claim
the honor Of having performed the
marriage ceremony for the oldest mar
that was ever married in the United
States. The bride, we are informed,
is a lady between 40 and 30 years Of
age.

WAsHINToN, December 27.-It is
whispered around the Capitol that
Colonel Moore, the member from
Memphis, must own an interest in the
Memphis Appeal. The manner in
which that paper has been advocating
the gentlemans cause by its sarcasm
and ridicule cannot be accounted for
upon any other hypothesis. Colonel
Moore was assigned a position on the
Committee on Banking and Currency,
which speaks volumes for the esteem
in which he is held here. But few
new members are ever accorded this
honor, and then, as in this case, only
on account of special fitness.

Special Little Rock Gazetto.J
PINE BLUFF, December 26.-At the
White House, eight miles cast of here,
on Christmas eve. DR.. Q. IL. Rosen-
baum, at about the hour of nine D m.,
was shot to death by an unknown
hand. The instrument of death EN-
plOyed was a shotgun. Fifteen buck
shot penetrated his head and side.
The firing Of the gun at the hour indi-
ceted was testified to by witnesses,
but being Christmas eve, it was not
particularly noted. 1t was not until
yesterday morning when his valet went
into his room that the horrible mur-
der was revealed in all its enormity.
The dead man sat in his arm chair,
With his head reclining on his arm,
when the valet entered, who imme-
diately gave the alarm, and coroner's
inquest was had which developed the
above facts. The deceased had some
complications with Lee Chow, a Chi
naman, now of Little Rock. He was
enamored and wholly infatuated with
Lee Chow's wife, and his conduct to-
ward the woman and Lee Chow is
said TO have been disreputable.
There had been innumerable
suits between the parties, and
in a Justices court in Little Rock
the Gazette local recently reported a
disgraceful scene. Without any fur
ther foundation than these unpleasant
relations, it is conjectured that the
Chinaman may have, to use one Of
Guiteau's elegant expressions, re-
moved" DR.. Rosenbaum. Suspicious
also rest on a negro on the place, who
had a fight with the Doctor few
weeks since, but that difficulty was
compromised. and the parties were on
friendly terms again. Society owes to
itself a strict investigation into the
affair, and it will be had. The Doctor
was aged boutforty-three years, was
a Prussian by birth, and moved from
Arcola, Mo-, where he has family,
here about three years ago.
