INTERNAL REVENUE COLLECTORS.

Especial to the Neeos and Courior.l
WAsnINGToN, April 29.-Thc Prcsi

Bradley to be collector of internal
revenue for the District Of South Car

cy, NC, against Brayton, the present
collector, have been on file in the dc.
partmcnt for some time, it was hardly
expected that change in the Office
would be made before the first of Nav.
Bradley had the endorsement of the
entire South Carolina delegation, for
although Senator Hampton took no
part in the conference held in this CITY
Just before Congress adjourned, which
virtually y nominated Bradley, that Sell
ator only yesterday informed the com,
missioner of internal revenue that he
had no objection 10 the appointment of
Bradley and that his selection Would
undoubtedly give universal satisfaction
throughout the State. Action i'm this
matter was probably fastened by
Representative Dibblc, who, Yesterday
called upon both Secretary Manning
and CommissioncrsMillcr. 1t appears
That some one told Mr.. Dibblc
that Commissioner Miller was lab
orlh9 under the impression that a
gentleman from South Carolina named
Gregg was the choice of Il majority of
the Congressional delegation and MANY
OF the prominent citizens of the State
Tor the position. Mr.. Dibble soon dis
abused the commissioners mind of
mat impression and informed him that
Bradley was the choice of all the dele
CATION except Hampton, and the latter
was not opposed to him, only he had
taken no part in the conference which
selected tho candidates for the leading
tedcral offices in the State. AS Scna,
tor Hampton was to leave the CITY last
nlSht there was no time to lose, so he
was immediately communicated with
ana he expressed himself as being en-.
1ircly n,, satisfied with the appointment of
bradley. Accordingly when Secretary
Manning went TO the Cabinet meeting

The Strange Robbery ia Train In Indiana.
CHICAGO, April 30.--Tbe Louisville

" Chicago Railroad, due here at eight
O'Clock this morning, was robbed near
Harrodsburg, Ind, shortly before mid
night.
"The express matter is usually car

messenger and baggage. master. 1t
was as usual the first car on the train.
The messengers name was George N.
Davis, of Louisville. Last night at
11.16 O'Clock the train stopped four or
five minutes for water at Harrodsburg,
Monroe county. j. III. Hamilton, q
passenger, happened to be looking out
of the window, and by the reflection of
the light from the engine saw a man
emerge apparently from under the
trucks and disappear in the direction
of the engine. lie carried club or
stick. When Smithville Hill station,
about two miles north of Hcrrodsturg,
was reached, the sharp ring of the bell
in the engine stopped the train, and
before an inquiry as to who pulled the
bell could be made tho baggage master
flung open the door of the smoking
car and rcclcd in covered with blood.
=
gers that robber had entered the
baggage car and shot him and the ex-
press messenger, and then he fell un-
conscious. Conductor Chamberlain
entered the baggage car and found
Davis stretched in Il pool Of blood by
the side of his safe, which had been
broken open and plundcrcd. Every
where was evidence of II terrific strug-
gle. The floor was Uttered with paper
that the assassin had taken from
the safe, and heavy boxes stored in the
car were scattered around in confu-
sion. Davis, who was breathing, was
carried into the smoker. He had been
snot IN the upper part Of the head.
WcDDcr, the bagga9e-mastcr, after
wards said that both doors Of the car
were open at IIarrodsburg and lie and
Davis were asleep. Just after the
train got in motion Wcbbcr was awak-
cncd by a violent blow on the head
Staggering to his feet he saw tall
muscular man struggling with Davis.
Inc messenger was bcspattcrcd with
blood, which was gushing from q
wound in his head. lie also had cvi-
IDENTIFY been struck with n club while
asleep. Wcbbcr fell to the floor. Davis
managed to loosen his right hand and
ufaW his revolver, but before he could
IRE the robbcr wrenchcd the weapon
from his grasp and fired. The ball
struck the messenger in the head
and he fell dying. When the safe had
been riflcd the robbcr left the train as

CIover and . Johason Grass.

Colonel j. I'll. Moore has this to say
sconcerning this much abused grass:
sowad lot ofred clover in March
and cut from it III July half ton per
acre. had fears that the long severe
drouth would kill it, but rain the
last OF September has set it growing
all right, anu in short time will af-
ford good grazing. Every farmer in
the cotton States should have enough
clover TO make hay for all his stock
and to manure his land. 1t should be
sown in February, or if there is rain
enough it will be best to SOW in Sep
tember. For the life of me cannot
see how farmer can get along and
make living for himself without q
pasture for his stock and o meadow
for hay. He certainly must have q
hard time to keep his cows alive on
shucks, and have to pull fodder for his
work stock.
81 have heard and read a great deal
about johnson grass, Some praise
and some curse it. l have had it on
my farm for thirty years, and | have
found this opinion in regard to it. For
the all-cotton planters it is an unmiti-
gated curse, but for the stock-raiScr it
is blessing. The way to manage it is
thls way: Now it for the hay two
years, then Craze close for one year;
after this it can be cultivated in corn
two years before the grass becomes
troublesome. Then it can bo cut for
hay and grazing, and the land will
improve each year, and the farmer will
not lose the use of his land, rs he will
get nay crop one year, then grazing
one year. This grass for hay, Bermuda

JUDGE WYLIE'S COURAGE
Anecdote of tho Trial and Execution q,
Mrs. Surratt-" Opposing the Country.

Ahccdote OF tho Trial and Execution of
Mrs. .surratt-"OpposinG the Country.
Judge Andrew j. Wvlic of the Dis
trlct OF Columbia, who recently asked
mat the President appoint his success
Sor, twenty years ago distinguished
llllnsclf rs bold and fearless judicial
o1llcer by performing an act which
brought down upon his head the cen
sure OF man! of his political friends
ana associates at the time. 1t was
after the trial Of the ASSASSINATION con-
splrators, when all had been convicted
ana sentenced TO be hanged, including
that lll-fatcd or unfortunate woman
and friend ofJohn Wilkes Booth, Mrs.
Mary ID. Surratt. The lattcr's coun-
sci had rcSOrtcd to every known
method under the law and bv petition
10 secure communication of Mrs. Sur
rats sentence of death, but i'm vain.
AS all must remember who read the
occurrences Of that day, the conspira-
tor had been tried bv court martial.
and even the counsel for the defence
Of Mrs. Surratt (Hon. Rcvcrdv John
ston, of Maryland,) had been objected
TO by the prosecution. 1t was neces-
sary to resort TO Il desperate move in
order to save Mrs. Surratt, or TO even
nave her life rcspiIcI for Il few days.
president johnson was deaf. He even
declined to give Mrs. Surratt q despite
lor day to prepare 20 meet her God.
NOT Knowing whether a Judge
Wonld be found who would dare do
such a thing, yet Mrs. Surratt's coun-
sci, having strong case and new cvi.
dchcc, drew up paper and presented
the facts, and determined to pray for
writ of hd6edS corpus. The crisis
was a desperate one. The counsel
called 1T the residence of Judge Wvlie
at O'Clock on the morning set for
Mrs. Surratts execution. They rang
the Dell. Some one came to the front
WlhdoW or the second story and gru1lly
demanded, "What is wantcd?" Judge
WNhc, partly dressed, came down
stars and adr,ittcd the two LAWYERS,
who stood trembling in his presence.
ne, the Judge, turned on the light in
the hall and looked at the document
they presented. Standing there under
the gas burner, Judge Wylic read the
document through without word,
and then retired to rear room for a
minute. The counsel were in dread
suspense. They could hear their
hearts beat. Prejudice ran high i'm
al
Judge could be found who would issue
a writ Of hnbedS corpus for Mrs. Sur.
raft. The Administration, President
johnson; the Secretary of War, Mr..
Stanton; the Judge Advocate General,
an excited army and navy, and an
excited populacc, demanded the hang
ing of Mrs. Surratt. Judge Wylic
had not long been on the bench and
had everything to lose and nOthinU tO
gain by issuing q writ. lie returned
to the counsel and said quietly, but
firmly: "Gcntlcmcn, your poi4ts are
well taken" lie signed writ to
bring Mrs. Surratt before him that
morning.
After the writ was served President
johnson suspended the writ of ha6eas
corpus.
"This act Of Judge Wylc was one
that places him in The character of one |
of the boldest andmost upright Judges
of modern timcs," said a Washington |
lawyer in relating the incident.

Newspapers of To-Day.

People generally, and even those
who may be termed steady readers and
close observers, have but faint con-
ception of the magnitude and influence
The press of this country has attained.
From careful examination of the
advance pages of the 1885 edition of
the american Newspaper DireciOrv,
issued May |, by Geo. p. Rowcll 81
Co., Of New York, it appears that
there arc Ii, 147 newspapers and peri
odicals published in the United States
and Canada; Of these tho United States
has l2,973, an average of one paper for
every 1867 persons. In 1854 the total
number of newspapers was less by 1923
IMAM at present, and while the gain
this year is not so marked as in pre-
vlous years, it is still considerable.
Kansas shows the greatest increase,
the number being 78, while Illinois
follows with q gain Of II. 1t is curl
Gus to notice that New York, the scene
of so much political activity during
the last campaign, should have only
about one-third as many new papers
as the State of Pennsylvania. AS an
index to the comparative growth and
prosperity of different sections of the
country, especially the Territories, the
number of new papers forms an inter-
esting study, and may we'll occupy the
