DR. d. w. Bliss has written letter
to the Board Of Audit, appointed to set
tIa-th," expenses Of the illness of the
late president, in which he sets forth
in detail his claim TO remuneration
He asser:s that his receipts from his
practice ut the time nc was called upon
to atte.d the late president were about
81 800 month; that this practice was
to great extent broken up by the en-
crossing nature Of his duties at the cx-
ecutive mansion, and that the direct
pccuniary loss resulting therefrom and
from subsequent iil-health, caused by
the long continued nervous strain and
over-excrtlOn, amounted to about
$4,000. He thinks he should receive

POLITE MURDERER.
Shooting Il Man ana DOniins His Hat
to the Spectators.
HuptS,ll. LnJ,DnnJapt


The staying of Sandy Bynum, a no.
torious colored gambler and republican
politician, by Thmas G. Hewlett,
another notorious striker and ex-
United States deouty marshal, at
Ayers Spring, atolt ten miles from
Huntsville, Ala, last Saturday, has
created much excitement in our coun-
ty. The killing occurred at the out
skirts of a crowd Of between 500 and
600 colored peope. Hewlett had not
dismounted from lis buggy more than
ten minutes and had just unhitched his
splendid high-headed black mare,
whose spring gait and glossy coat had
been oftentime the envy of moon
sinners and their leighbors in the re-
motest places Of Alabama. Hewlett
was opposing the nongrel ticket and a
small knot of colord men had gather
ed around him. is stated by some
that Hewlett sent for Sandy. 1t seems
further that Hewitt cursed him, and
that Sandy responded in like style.
Hewlett now plunged his hand in his
bosom, drew a pistol, and quick as a
flash sent three oalls whirling after
odnuy, Ine IiISl ellheIllS MS breast, INT
second piercing hisear, and as the slain
body was falling third deadly mes
senger was sent after it, hitting an arm
that had been raEed in the agony of
death.
BY the time the body struck the
ground lie was gore Hewlett warned
every one away from him; he coolly
mounted a log and proceeded to refill
the empty chambers of his pistol. He
said he would surrender to any one
man that might be agreed upon, and
| would come to town and be turned
over to the sheriff, but he would not
give up his arms. His father was on
the ground, and our informant states
that Hewlett gave his father one of the
pistols, rs there were some indications
of violence among the black people.
When his black mare hae been sad
! died he mounted her, wheeled toward
the river, raised his hat to the crowd
with a dare devil mock politeness, and
sped off on lope toward the Tennes-
see river.

TIE river and harbor congressman
are having great deal of trouble just
now. Congressman Harris, of New
Jersey, secured his denomination only
by the skin of his teeth, the conven-
ton refusing to make the nomination
unanimous But his troubles seem
only just to have begun. The Hunter
don Democrat, one of the most intlu-
cntial democratic jornals in his district
comes out llat-luotcd against him and
refuses TO support him. This defeC-
tion IL serious and is likely to be fol
lowed by similar action on the part of

concerted movement to run an indie.
pendent democratic candidate against
MIR. Harris, which will probably result
in his defeat.

LONDON, Aug. 30.-The war office
has received the following telegram
from Gen. Sir Garnet Wolseley, dated
Ismailia, August so, evening:-'I
pushed on again at daybreak. The
enemy had strongly intrenched po-
sition at Mahatta, and from the bold
way in which they attacked US yestcr-
day hoped they would stand their
ground to-day. They withdrew their
guns, however, last night. They had
twelve in action yesterday. The force
at my disposal this morning was the
first division and all the English caval
ry, with sixteen guns. My intentions
was to pivot on my left at the dam,
which we took yesterday, and swing
rouud my right to the enemy's posi-
ton in the flank and drive them into
the fresh water canal, sending the cav
airy completely round their position
to occupy the railway in their rear,
and, If possible, capture their engines
and rolling stock. The operation was
very well carried out. All the heavy
