THE PRESIDENT AND THE IRISH.

A deputation Of representative lrlshmen
waited upon the President last Saturday af'
ternoon and presented him a resolution con.
cerning assisted emigration, adoped at the
recent meeting of the Irish National League
in Philadelphia. The delegation was COM
posed of Alexander Sullivan, president OF
the Irish National League, and large
number of representative and prominent
Irishmen from different parts of the cOun.
try. Sullivan made an address to the
President and was followed by Henry l..
Hognet and James Lynch of New York,
Reynolds of New Haven, and others. The
President replied to the addresses as follows
'The subject you present will receive my
careful consideration. 1t has already been
under consideration by the secretary of
State. Correspondence in regard to it has
been had with our diplomatic and consular
representatives, and an investigation into
facts is now being made by them. 1t is, OF
course, proper that this Government should
ascertain whether any nation with which
it holds amicable relations is violating any
obligation of international friendship before
calling attention to any such matter. In
the meantime, the law provides that the
officers of the treasury shall examine into
the condition of passengers arriving as en-
igrants at any port of the United States,
and if there should be found any convict,
lunatic, idiot or any person unable to take
care of himself without becoming public
charge, they shall report the same in wri-
ting to the collector of such port, and such
person shall not be permitted to land. At
tention will be given to the strict enforce
ment of this law"

AN ATLANTA SENSATION.

The story of most revolving crime in
Atlanta, Ca, came to light last Friday DR..
D. N. Cook and his family have resided for
the past two months at No. 81 Lloyd street,
in the same house with a man named A.
Brightwell and his family. Cook rented
the house and relet q part of it to Bright
well. It was Cooks custom when going out
to church with his wife at night TO leave his
family, consisting of two little girls, a small
boy and an infant, in charge of the Bright
wells, with whom the Cooks are on the
most intimate terms. On Thursday night
while Cook and his wife were at church
Brightwell sent his wife up town to do some
shopping, and in her absence caught hold of
little Mary Cook, the 12-year-old and eldest
child, who was walking in the hall with the
baby in her arms, and endeavOred to drag
her into his bed room. The child jerked
away, and young girl named Mollie Green,
who happened to come in about that time,
upbraided Brightwell and told him she in
tended to inform Cook of his conduct.
Friday morning when the girl informed
Cook he called Mary to him, and she con-
fessed that Brightwell had abused her per-
son at various times during the past three
weeks in the absence Of her parents, and
that she had not divulged it before because
fearful of her fathers anger. Cooks other
daughter, just 8 years old, also confessed
that Brightwell, one week ago, locked her
in closet and tried to ruin her by force,
when she screamed and he let her out with
out accomplishing his purpose. y medical
examination showed the twelve-year-old
daughter to be in terrible condition.
Cook at once took out a warrant against
Brightwell and went with Captain Couch
to serve it. Prominent citizens gathered
around and advised Cook to kill the prison
er on the spot, but he refused to do it and
said, ''Let the law take it's course" Bright
well was taken to the station house, but the
police fearing that he would be lynched, re-
moved him to the jail, where he is strongly
guarded. Brightwell protests his Innocence,
but everybody is convinced of his guilt. A
band of prominent citizens went to Cook g
house on Friday night and begged him to
saw the word and they would at once pro-
ceed to the jail and lynch the villain, as
suring him that the police would aid them
in the work, but Cook declined to 90 1t:
Cook said that Brightwell would not be
lynched. Cook is a veterinary surgeon, who
came to Atlanta from Canada about year
ago. He islooked upon as an upright man,
and is a strict member of the Methodist
Church. Brightwell is first class mechan-
ic, IS years of age, and has wife and two
small boys. A little girl of the neighbor-
hood, about 10 years old, says that Bright
we'll also attempted to abuse her on Thurs
day, and that he offered her money and
that she spat in his face. The case has
created intense excitement and a violent
feeling against Brightwell, and the chances
are that he will not be allowed trial.

Themonument to the Confederate soldiers,
erected at Camden, through the eNertions
of the ladies of Kershaw county, was un-
yelled on Wednesday of last week. The
crowd attending the ceremony was estima-
ted at 5000. Senators Hampton and Butler,
Governor Thompson, and other distinguish
ed men were present. The ceremonies of
unveiling consisted of an artillery salute,
dedicatory prayer, ode by the ladies and adj
dresses. The veil was stripped from the
monument by a group of young ladies,
daughters of ex-Confederate soldiers. Sen
ator Hampton delivered the memorial ora
ton.
He paid a glowing tribute to the faith,
devotion and patience OF Southern women,
and said when the true story OF the war
shall be written, they would not only occu-
py the first place in our hearts, but the flrSt
scorn and Indignation the imputation that
monuments to the Confederate dead marked
the place where traitors slept. We of the
South were neither traitors nor rebels, nor
was our war in any proper sense rebellion.
1t was strictly civil war, growing out OF
conflicting interests and different construc-
tions of the constitution by opposing sec
tions of the country. He congratulated the
country that the future was auspicious, that
the scars of war were obliterated by time,
and demanded that "our former enemies do
justice to the motives that inspired our con-
duct"
The great questions which were at issue
between the North and the South and which
were left to the arbitrament Of war, were de-
cided against us but the sword never has
decided, and never will decide questions in
volving great principles. The final ,judg-
ment as to the motives and actions of man
rests with a higher tribunal than any on
this earth, and to that last great court OF ap-
peal must every question of right and wrong
be submitted. But we have the Divine
command to yield obedience to constituted
authority, and it is the duty of every good
citizen who receives the protection of the
government to obey its laws. There is no
Inconsistency in our giving to the constitu-
ton and laws under which we live an ear
nest, conscientious support, while we hold
in tender reverence the memory of the men
who died for the cause we held to he just
and right.
The oration was received with much en-
thuSiaSm.

A COLORED LAWYER PLEADING FOR a
CONFEDERATE SOLDIER. Beaufort
correspondent of the NeaCs and Courier re-
lates the following unusual occurrence OF a
colOred advocate appearing for white
man, as one of the incidents of the late term
of Beaufort Circuit Court:
The case of w. J. Napier q poor one arm
ed white man, found guilty OF grand larce-
ny and sentenced to the Penitentiary fOr
two years, peculiarly addressed itself to
our sympathy. The unfortunate creature
was evidently friendless and must have
aroused the same sentiment Of pity in the
breast of w. J. Whipper, who Volunteered
for his defence without consideration and
made an affecting appeal in his behalf. He
had been Confederate soldier and mad lost
his arm in the service of the "LOst Cause"
but this did not deter even this colored adj
vOcate from claiming for him some mercy
and pity on that account. The facts are
that he may have been guilty of stealing
twenty-siX dollars as far back as 1876 from a
man who had given him hospitable lodg-
ing. He had gone to Augusta Immediately
after the crime had been perpetrated and
returned to this vicinity only last March,
when his relentless pursuer had him arrest
ed. His trial at this term of the Court has
resulted in his conviction and his sentence
to the Penitentiary for the term of two
years. The jury did not even recommend
him to mercy, but we are sure it must have
been an oversight. If our humble voice is
now effective we would supplement that OF
his colored advocate and plead for elem
ency in his behalf, if sympathy is foreign
to strict, impartial justice. Poor, friend
less and without one ray of hope, perhaps,
what boon it would now be if that long
term of imprisonment could be shortened
through means unexpected.

THE OHIO DEMOCRACY.

The State Democratic Convention of Ohio
was in session at Columbus last Thursday
and Friday. A full State ticket was nomi'
mated, headed by Judge Hoadly for Gov.
ernor. The platform adopted embodies in
brief the following principles: 1. Adher'
ence to the principles Of Jetfersonian De-
mocracy, as set forth in the State and nation.
al platforms Of the party. .. Tariff forreve'
nue., limited to the necessities of the gov.
ernment faithfully and economically admin,
istered. 3. Disapproval of the recent &C
ton of Congress in reducing the tariff on
wool. 4. Opposition to all sumptuary legis'
lation and approval of properly graded
license system for the regulation Of the
liquor traffic. ). Government protection
for all citizens, native and foreign born, at
home and abroad. 6. Reatfirmation OF the
principles enunciated in 1872, 1876, $780,
1881 and 1882.
Judge Hoadly became a Democrat in
1872, but voted for Grant rather than for
Greeley. He is not popular man, so to
speak, but commands a following by intel
lectual supremacy. He favored the war,
but did no fighting. Mr.. Tilden is said to
be his political backer.

HEAVY RAIN.

The heaviest rainfall known in this local
ity for ten years, and probably as heavy as
has ever been here, occurred between and
10 O'Clock last Tuesday evening. About
o'clock black and threatening cloud was
noticed extending north of town, and esti-
mated by some who witnessed it, to be
about eight miles distant. 1t swept from
the west with moderate rapidity, and an
hour later, it was supposed that it had pass
ed this section entirely; but the fragment
of this cloud was drifted in this direction
and Joined by one which had been observed
south of this place, and the two uniting, fell
in torrents of rain.
There was very little thunder and light
ming, though one bolt struck tree in
front of Mrs. McAdams' house on the north
ern end of Congress street; and fortunately
there was little or no wind.
The fury of the rain was spent in an arc
extending northerly from west to east.
On the western side of town the overflow OF
streams running through farms was unpre-
cedented. DIR. Walker, who visited his
place early Wednesday morning, reports
that his fields are almost literally washed
away. His fish ponds, of which he had
three, and which were constructed with
much care in a valley, are completely OBJ
liberated, and all his carp but three are lost.
Taking the effects of the rain on his farm as
an average of the destruction by the rain
in it's course, at least one-half of the growing
corn on low lands has been carried away
from the fields. Cotton, too, is also serious
ly damaged.
The bridge over Fishing creek, on the
Charlotte road, two miles northeast of town,
was washed from the abutments, but they
were not injured. The bridge will be re-
paired to-day. We hear, but with how
