Another Black Brute Jailed.

GRBENvILLE, Jan. ll.-[Special. r.
stnight about midnight p. Eddy, a
big buck negro, went to the house of
Mrs, Webb, a widow, living one mile
from town, forced open the door, caught
her in bed and tried to rape her.
She fought him bravely, however, and
the noise of the scu1lle awakened some
children in the next room. The lady
had the presence of mind to adopt the
ruse of telling the children to awaken
man in another room, and the negro,
supposing man there, was frightened
OIL. In the scuffle the scoundrel bit
Mrs. Webb very badly in the left arm.
The lady recognized the negro as one
she had. working on the place. Marshal
Anderson and others went at once to
Z. Eddy's house, found him Just going
into bed with his clothes on, and quickly
jailed him. Excitement runs high, and
the wretch may get to swing without
the aid of officers.
The grand jury has found twenty-five
true bills, among them one against
Thomas Brumley, for the killing of A.
N. McAdams at Caddo Mills, last fall.
Brumley was bailed in the sum of 81, 600

have habeas corpus trial in tho morn
ing.

THE PorrERS IN COUNCIL
TRENTON, N. j., Jan. 1.-THE opera
tive potters talked all day of the latest
proposition by the manufacturers,
namely: To accept the English wages,
plus the protective tariff of IS per cent.
The unanimous sentiment was
against the proposition, unless the man
ufacturers would add to the tariff con
sui fees, brokerage, custom house dues,
insurance, etc., which the English i'm
porters have to pay in addition TO the
tariff. The operatives demand the APP
pointment of board of arbitration 10
investigate whether reduction is nee
essary to the welfare of the manufac.
turers. Should the appointment OF the
board be not agreed to for the manufac
turers within the next four days, the
operatives will declare a lockout and
begin drawing upon the funds of the
Knights of Labor.

HISTORY OF THE FAMOUS LOAN

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE following
letter was yesterday sent to Mrs.
Ulysses. Grant, by Mr.. w. II. Wander
bilt:
No; $40 Fifth Avonuc, Jan. 10, lss5.-To Mrs.
u. S. Grant:
DEAR MADAhE:-So many misrepre-
sentations have appeared in regard to
the loan made by me to Gen. Grant, and
rejecting unjustly spon him and
myself, that it seems proper
to briefly recite the facts. On
Sunday, May 4, 1884, Gen. Grant
called at my house and asked me to
lend him $l5O,OOO for one day. gave
him my check without question. Not
because the transaction was business
like, but simply because the request
| came from Gen. Grant. The misfortunes
which overwhelmed him in the next
| twenty-four hours aroused the sym-
pathy and regret of the whole country.
You and he sent me, within few days
OF time, deeds of your Joint properties
| to cover this obligation, and urged nv
acceptance, on the ground that this was
the only debt of honor which
he had personally incurred,
| and these deeds i returned.
| During my absence in Europe the Gen.
delivered to my attorney, mortgages
upon all his own real estate, household
effects, swords, medals and works of al I,
which were memorials of his victories
and presents from governments
all over the world. These Sc
curities were, in his judgment,
worth the $l50,0O0. At his solicitation
the necessary steps were taken by
judgment to reduce these properties tc
my possession, and the articles men,
toned have been this day bought in by
me, and the amounts bid applied in the
reduction of the debt. Now that | am
at liberty to treat these things
as my own, the disposition OF the whole
matter most in accord with my feelings
is this: | present to you as your sepa.
rate estate, the debt and Judgment
hold against Gen. Grant, alsC
the mortgages upon his real estat,
and all his household furni
ture and ornaments, coupled only
with this condition: That the swords
commissions, medals, gifts from the
United States, cities and foreign gov
ernments, and all articles Of historical
value and interest shall, at the general,
death, or if you desire it, sooner, he pre-
sented 10 the government at Washing
ton, whore they will remain a,
perpetual memorials of his fam,
and of the history of his time. | enclos,
herewith assignments to you of al
mortgages and judgments and bill o
sale of personal property and deed o.
trust, in which the articles o
historical interest are enumerated
A copy of this trust deed will
with your approval, be forwarded TO th,
president of the United States for dc
