Charges Against Convent officials,

iOrder of St Frances de Sales: but should
she not do SO, or on entering afterwards
sever her connection with the Order, the
property was to be restored to her. Some
months ago the teStator left the Convent
and announced that she had withdrawn
from the Order, and asked to have the re-
storation of her property. Her sister sus-
pected the sincerity of her act, and de-
INJURED to giving back the property, and
Miss Taylor brought suit to recover. Mrs.
Chateau then reconveyed the property,
and short time afterwards Miss TAYLOR
transferred it all to Robert NJ. Nichols, as
Trustee. of use for the Convent Visitation.
A few weeks later Miss Taylor re-entered
the Convent and took the black veil. The
plaintiffs in the petition Just filed IN Court
allege fraud and collision against the of
iicials of the Convent, charging them with
using undue influence with Miss Taylor
and entering into a scheme to obtain the
property, and seek to set aside the deed by
which it was reconveyed, and also the deed
under which it was transferred.
Another Blast from Jeff. Davis Bugle
NEW YORK, August 2Sth.-The Tribune
prints from Atlanta, Ga a letter from JEFF
ferson Davis to the veterans of that State,
in which he says Though the States are
again reunited and all contribute to filling
the treasury of the General Government,
the funds collected are only appropriated
for eX-SOldiers of the Northern States.
| Southern soldiers disabled in the war, and
the widows and orphans of those who died,
can only get relief from a second tax,
which may be voluntarily paid by the peo-
pie for whom they fought and who suf
| tered with them. And il is not the least of
your meritoriOuS manifestations that you
meet this discrimination without COM
| plant and brace yourselves to bear this
double burden, with no i'll feeling to the
Government for this offensive tavoritism."
