Gen. Raleigh Colston, who served as a
nsior general in the Confederate army, and
afterward as an officer Of high rank in the
Egyptian army, delivered lecture on lex
pioration in Egypt" before a large audience
10 the large hall of Cooper Union, New
York, on Saturday evening. In closing his
lecture, Gen. Colsion said: 81 have roamed
in many stranger lands; have seen the
beauties of other lands, and dwet among
other people; but / come back to my native
land with firm conviction that this IL the
best country on earth, and thank God that

So Senator Brown, of Georgia, is not to be
permitted TO take rank IS a public benefactor
Of the youth Of that State. His well-planned
endowment of the State University, amounting
to $4,000 deceased sons portion of the
family estate-hss been rejected by a large
majority of the State House of Representa-
tives. Its acceptance by US under the con-
ditions imposed would be violation of the
constitution" they protest. The press and
public of Georgia think they do TOO much
protest, especially since they have already,
without qualm, violated that instrument
by holding annual sessions in order TO draw
extra pay.

THE 1854 EXPOSITION.

1t is with pleasure we see that some Of our
Southern and Southwestern cities are begin
ming to appreciate the value to them OF hav-
ing the great cotton exposition Of 1884 held
IN their neighborhood. Louisville stands
outside, it being busy arranging for its own
exposition in 1888, and the Louisville
Courier. Journal appears to regard the great
1884 exposition az a sort Of rival. The CIn-
ciuuati Nesss believes thoroughly in the idea
thing for the entire South, and particularly
a good thing for the city that holds it, for it
would bring many thousands of visitors to
it," II regards the sum required TO inaugu-
rate the exposition as Insignificant in COM
psrison with the benefits it would confer; IS
Cincinnati has the necessary building, it
thinks $3.50. 900 there uonld be equivalent 10
$500, 900 elsewhere. The Richmond Indus
f,i1Z South says: wherever the exposition
is located it will be worth, Immediately, mill
lions of money" 1t is OF opinion, however,
shat $500, 600 offered by Richmond would
weigh down an offer of 100000 from
any other city in the South" The Savan-
nah NeDs believes that place has superior
claims, as the first cotton port on the South
Atlantic. The Baltimore American says the
fair which has been contemplated there can
not be held in the near future. There is no
time 10 be ready by 1888; 1884 is the great
cotton exposition year; 1885 would come to
the date of that exposition; and it concludes
that the question sis narrowed down TO
accepting the Offer of the Cotton Planters
Association, or to abandoning, for the pres
emf, all intention of having an exhibition in
Baltimore" The New Orleans Picaytne
says: "If our people woald only take time
by the forelock, they could obtain this COW
eted prize. One OF the most desirable steps
toward success is the immediate establish
ment, in the universal opinion of the public,
of an iudissoluble connection between the
exposition as fixed fact, and New Orleans
as the sure seat OF it," The New Orleans
press is fighting srdently for their city, and
striving ardentIy to "wake up" the mer-
ch ants and citizens TO the grand opportunity
within their reach. The fact is that New
Orleans is so obviously the proper place for
the exposition, that the whole cotton belt is
looking TO it as held in honor 10 take the
position public opinion accords to it, and it
is our opinion that the city which is en-
riched BY the teeming trade a vast extent
OF cotton country pours into its lap cannot,
without discredit TO itself, decline scce pting
what is SO unanimously accorded. Again
we ask: Have the merchants and people OF
New Orleans public spirit?

collects accounts under 500f, on a very
simple system which is paid for in fees de.
Quoted from the collections. II we adopted
this system, the postofIioe revenue would be
increased, and great public service rem
dered. A mos. important recommendation
is made which Congress should not fail to
adopt-a pcstofice savings bank, 80 as TO
give every man and woman opportunity to
keep safely their surplus money. Oar peo-
pc earn bat do not save; give them ready
and secure place Of deposit, and they will do
so. II is also recommended that the teie-
graph system be amalgamated with the postal
system, but the proposition does not appear
to meet with popular favor. The whole re-
port does infinite credit to the postmaster
general, I. o. Howe.

GODLOvE ORTH'S
Public Career-An Unc0mpr0mistRg
Radical, and Very BADLY Tainted.

New YORK, December 19.-The death of
Congressman Godlove S. Orth, of Indiana,
was expected, and therefore created no sur
prise. He was chairman OF the Select Com
mittee on Civil-Service Reform, very i'm
portant committee just now. He was very
prominent during Lincoln's administration
and during Grants first term. He was a
shrewd, able man, and an Incorporating
Republican. II he had any sympathy for
the South during the years that followed
the war his speeches and votes did not
show it. His public career was not without
blemishes. 1t is alleged he got the Aus
trian mission for PoeLetiug, while chairman
of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, a
resolution favorable TO the Cuban revolu-
tionists AT that time Hamilton Fish was
secretary of state, and his son-in-law, Sidney
Webster, was the counsel OF the Spanish
government. His alleged connection with
the Vene zuelan claims business is matter
of history. He was a candidate for Speaker
of the present House. He wanted to be
oh airman of the Foreign Affairs Committee
in order 10 be able to clear his name from
suspicion in connection with the Venezuelan
business. He was embiltered against Keller
for not giving him that place.

stOner for the Exchange OF
Prisoners.

RICHMOND, VA, December 19.-Robert
Ould, assistant secretary of war under the
Confederate government, who died on Sat-
urday last, was prominent toward the close of
the war for the part he took in endeavoring
to secure an equitable exchange of prisoners
between the two governments. He was sp-
pointed as the Confederate agent for the ex-
change of prisoners, and was also secretary
of the Peace Commission appointed by Pres
ident Dlvis, whose propositions Mr.. Lincoln
declined 10 entertain. He warmly defended
the Confederate government from The cb argos
of inhumanity in the treatment of prisoners,
and sought to place the responsibility for the
detention of Union soldiers in Southern
prisons upon the authorities at Washington,
in neglecting to carry out the arrangements
for an exchange.

Nrw YoRK. December 19.-An extensive
theft and blackmailipg scheme was To-Day
developed in the dislrict-sttorney's once Dy

two. residing in Brooklyn, clerk IN the IA"
Office of VIM. Sutphsn, No. 20 Nassau street es
and Henry L. Kippling, lawyer at NO. 1Oo
Broadway. OF Brooklyn. SHIRLEY repre-
seuted himself as an unmarried man 10 out-
phan. As such, in the course OF business
some months ago, Sutphan executed conuF
ton deeds transferring four lots 10 SeVenty-
eighth street, eight houses and lots In Dfooe-
Iyn. and farm in West Chester county, In
all valued at $4,000, to him. The deeds
were not recorded, it being meant 70 f or he
the property lsPR9E1EibbGas II and that he
nhdi5ffd reconvey or the deeds be destroyed.
When the business was completed the DEEDS
were placed in the safe.
AN ATTRACTIVE YOUNG WOMAN
who constantly visited SHIRLEY was intro
duced as Miss Jennie Brooks. On the 18th
of November the law firm OF Brown & Wes-
colt, lis Broadway, paid Shibley Sl4, $50 In
a check on the American Exchange National
Bank for money owing Sutphan. SHIRLEY
had the check certified, representing to Suit
phan that the firm of Brown & Wescott had
no money in bank, and The cashier had kept
the check, refusing to certify it until the
money came in. He then went TO the office
Of Fisk & Hatch, and endsavored TO purch sse
United States bonds, but the firm declined
to receive the check, not knowing the in
dorJers SHIRLEY tried to secure the money
from several other parties. but failed. He
disappeared, and has not been seen until his
arrest.
WHEN HE DISAPPEARED
he took the deeds for the property con-
viewed 10 him by Sutphau with him. The
following day KippIing called on Sutphan
and offered to procure the deeds for a con-
sideration. Miss Brooks also called, and in
troduced herself as Mrs. Walter F. SHIRLEY,
wife Of the fugitive, and as such, entitled to
a dower-right in the property. She refused
to sign a release or tell where her husband
was. Her husband wanted money for the
papers, and would not give them up unless
he received it. Sutphan refused 10 pay
anything, and invoked the aid of the police.
Both Shibley and Kipplipg were arraigned
in the Court of General Sessions, where they
pleaded not guilty. Bail WAS fixed at $4,000
aud both prisoners were sent to the Tombs.
