The great painting of John Brown,
which has occupied Mr.. Thomas How
enden for the greater part of the last
two or three wears, is completed, and
will be placed on exhibition in New
York next week. 1t represents old
Osawatomie pausing to kiss q negro
child as he..descended from the steps of
the Jail on his way to the gallows. Tn
fortunately this pretty story is mere
myth, but that doesn't hurt it. we sup
pose, tor artistic purposes. Brown
would undoubtedly have kissed ne
gro child if there had been one pres
ent and he had thought of utilizing il
in that tender and significant way
Globe Democrat.
the kissing incident was reported
by a newspaper correspondent at the
time and published; it has been re.
printed in the biographies. fit is not
true the journalist who invented it did
a great work in softening the hearts
of Americans toward their black
brothers. But why is an artist paint
ing still another picture Of john
Brown? Hasn't he heard the latest
news from Kansas? Don't he know
that two or three persons have utter
ly destroyed the old captains title to
fame and hcroism?
1t seems not. His soul goes march
ing on.-Hidrdtha World.

We have received the initial of
Marsh Murdock's new Daily EAGLE.
The new bird bears strong resem-
blance to the old EAGLE which we
have known and liked so long. We
will not say that the EAGLE is the best
daily or even the best looking daily in
the state, for we do don't propose to
lie for Col. Murdoch or anybody else,
but we will say that the daily is
beauty and we hope will be a success
financially. Col. Murdoch will please
put the CreSset on his regular sub
scription list. We will settle with him
as soon as we gather our crop of bread

When Grant and his army we're
closing ia on Richmond there came a
lnll in the proceedings, which a lot of
the youngsters of the line and staff
improved by getting up bali at Fort
Randolph. Grants headquarters
were several miles up the river from
Fort Randolph, and lot of the junior
officers Of his and other stats wanted
to go to the ball. But how to get
tn re was the question. 1t was too
far to ride, and the only thing left to
do was to apply to General Grant for
the use of the Metamora steamer,
then in government employ, but the
old man sat down on that project
Then the boys were i'll fix, and there
were many heart-breaklng consulta-
tions among them, interspersed with
a few iron clad and red blank it
alls" thrown In as required by head
quarters etiquette. Finally a few of
the more reckless and daring ones
resolved that they would take the
Metamora and 60 any how. The girls
were at Fort Randolph, and how
could they stay awaya They couldn'..
and they didn't, but Just got aboard
the Metamera and away they went
The intention of the boys was to get
back so early the next morning that
they would be snug ID their quarters
before the old man was up. But one
dance more. and just one glass more,
kept them late and it was broad day
light when they steamed up to head
quarters. General Grant then had a
habit of walking every morning on
the bluffs of the river, and the boys
saw him looking at the Metamora as
she steamed in Some of them took
the yawl and went ashore, sneaking
away to the water edge down below
the bluffs. Our yosngster, with two
or three others, determined to face
the music. and have the storm over
as soon as possible. The cid man
never let on that he saw anything un-
usual or out of the way, and the boy ;
reached their quarters congratulating
each other that the old man hadn't
twigsed then little game and ali was
calm and serene But at ten o'clock

The republican organs of this state
are busy explaining that there is no
ring" in the party; that th0re was
no machine and no slate, and that the
talk about rings IS the mere prattle of
the childish and superstitious democra-
cy. 1t was noticeable, however, that
IN the recent state convention there
seemed TO be marvellous fear Of the
ring. Every move that was suggested
winch bore the slightest semblance
of prearrangement was met with
the cry of machine" and that cry
slaughtered the measure against
which this imputation was cast The
ring found it for its interest to keep
very quiet and lie very low. 1t was
able to carry its points only by get
ting some guileless looking delegate
from the country to introduce them.
The bugaboo about rings" is no dem
ocratic scare crow. II it be super
stition, it is part Of the republican
faith.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-Jas. A. Con
nally whose nomination as solicitor
of the treasury was yesterday con
firmed by the senate has formally de
clined to accept. The reasen as
signed for his refusal is that Connally
could not accept the appointment with

nounced that the president will make
the appointment in few days.
THE COPIAH REPORT.
In the senate the committee on
privileges and elections made its re-
port in the Copiah investigation. 1t
says they entered upon the work with

odious than to use such Investigations
and disclosures as partisan instru-
ments unless it be to corrupt, screen
crime or profit by it." The report is
recital of the testimony and of The
facts said to be proved by it. The sub
stance of all this has been given be-
fore. The committee volunteer the

companled by Secretary Frelinghuy-
sen, Consul Smith, Rear Admiral

SWANS CASE.
The Swain court OF Inquiry met
this morning and organized. Gen.
Swain was present with his counsel,
Representative Calkins and Judge
Johnston, and Sateman, who made
the charges against Gen. Swain, was
accompanied by his attorney, jeff.
Chandler A general statement of
the grounds of accusation made by
Bateman to the secretary of war, was
made by Chandler, and Calkins fol-
lowed with a counter statement for
the defence. Neither side touched
anything but the specific charges
made in the Bateman letter to the
secretary of war; but the Judge advo-
cate of the court calling attention TO
to this, suggested that the scope of in
quiry be extended to further charges
alluded to in the closing part of Bate
mans letter, but did not specify the
mode. The court decided that Bate
man should be called upon to explain
these charges also before the inquiry
was concluded Bateman was then
called to the stand, and he testified to
the character and extent of the bust
ness transactions between his firm
and Gen. Swain. Before the conclu.
sion of his testimony the court ad-
journed until to- morrow.
