Our Pride, Our Best Wishes Follow
.l Them.
Long before 5 o'clock yesterday
evening, the appointed hour for the
appearance of The Volunteer South
rons and the Vicksburg Rifles, Wash
ington street, f1om the intersection of
Clay to the depot, was thronged with
citizens of all classes to witness the
departure of these gallant COM
panies to Aberdeen where they
60 to take part iin the competitive
State drill, which takes place on
Thursday. The Southrons appeared
in fatigue uniform and gave an exhi-
biJion drill which was greeted with
much applause. At $50 pm. the
Southrons formed on Washington
street, headed by the Firemen's Silver
Cornet Band. After the Southrons
came the Rifles in fatigue uniform,
gray coat and pants, blue caps.
The company was headed by the
Greenville band, composed of the
following gentlemen: H. B. Sommsrs,
j. Anderson, L. Sommers, w. H.
LANCER, B. B. Goldman, M. Hindle, J.
Z. Goldman, 0. A. LANCER and L. N.
LANCER. The band appeared in elegant
new uniforms of dark blue cloth, en-
broideted with gold, dark helmets,
white plume tipped with blue. The
band were the recipients of marked
attention, especially from the large
number of ladies present. Every
available place on the galleries and on
the street leading to the depot was &C.
cupied by citizens, who wished the
gallant soldier a pleasant trip and a
safe return, bearing with them the
emblems of victory in the friendly
contest Of skill and soldierly bearing.
Mrs. j. H. Kent. Mr.. and Mrs. New
witter and Miss Cooksie O'Leary,
daughter of DR.. r. O'Leary, surgeon
OF the %Southrons, and Mrs. James r.
Marlett were among the departures for
Aberdeen by the 6 pm. train yester-
day.
Miss Annie M. Wright, one of the
maids of honor Of the Rifles, and Miss
May Waddill and Miss Irene Plttman,
maids of honor Of the Southrons, also
accompanied the companies. The
young ladies were chaperoned by Mrs
Martin Marshall, the estimable wife of
Capt. Martin Marshall, Of the Rifles.
Owing to serio us illness of DR.. S. D.
Robbins, surgeon of tie Rifles, was
prevented from accompanying the com
pany to Aberdeen. Through the cour-
tesy of Superintendent Belknap the
the train was held over one hour to
give the military all the time possible
at home.

And It WmRe.

Greenville Times.
The Warren County Democratic
Executive Committee has issued a
proclamation which ought to be the
doom Of Beck & Co. 1t is an indlct-
ment with specifications, of gross Off
cial corruptions. To this publication
there is neither denial nor defense.
The reply is an appeal to the vice and
ignorance of the county. We hope
there is no county in Mississippi where
any man or set of men, can be so
hedged in by official power, as to defy
with impunity such an arraignment.
The convention which created the
present Executive Committee of War
rem, was in the highest degree repre-.
sentative of the intelligence, the moral
worth, and the property ownership of
that county. That convention was
directed by no "ring," was not borne
upon nor swayed by any improper in
1uence. 1t was indeed just such a
body as recently assembled at Green
vile in Washington county's behalf.
The mandate of the elements EN-.
bodied in conventions so constituted,
may not, must not, be set at naught by
the envious, the personally malcontent,
the mere office-seeker. AS much tole-
ration and latitude as are extended to
those classes, their individual griev-
ances and deserts must be subordinated
to the public good. The order loving,
poperty-owning, certainly the whites
of those classes, a never afford to
have that authority shaken or over
thrown, which is a protection to all,
an assault upon which is a menace to
all. And as n man, the Democracy
Of Warren county should enforce the
action of their Executive Committee
against Beck & Co. Even were he free
from the allegations of personal cor
ruption, he is arrayed against the body
of Warren county's white citizens.
There should be permitted no official
rule in such a county as Warren, or
Washington, that does not recognize
and acknowledge as its master and
maker, the body of its white citizens,
of which Democracy is but the organ
ization.

Let Down Light.

READING, PA, Oct. 2O-Application
was made to a magistrate of this city
yesterday by Ambrose Forester, resi-.
dent, for the arrest of Samuel Franks.
Fbrester's story is that his wife was
induced to pay Franks one dollar to
become a member of an insurance
company which would guarantee Ter
500 in case there was a birth
in the family, and 5000 for
twins. The money was to be raised
on the assessment plan among the
members of the company. The magis-
trate has decided to investigate fur
Their before moving in the matter. 1t
appears, however, that agents are now
circulating through the country dis
tricts and soliciting policy-holders
for their new concerns. No such
companies have been chartered.

Monumental GERALD
OUR CANDIDATE FOR STATE
cuw4m0D
NENATOR.

We give up a large portion Of our
space to-day to the excellent address of
Capt.. Bachelor, the Democratic can
didate for the State Senate. We do
this because Capt. Bachelor is an in
dustrious, hOme-loving farmer, who,
at this season of the year, has scarcely
a day to leave home. He has, there
fore, not been able to canvass the
county. and he wants the voters, white
and colored, to know his views.
He is in every way worthy the posi-
ton to which he asDires, and if the
citizens elect him they may rest as
snred their interests will never be be-
trayed.
His election is second only in i'm
portance to that Of the Sheriff. The
Democratic party is making a fight for
reform, and to be entirely successful,
1t must elect the Senators. 1t is pro-
posed to enact the most searching
and valuable reforms and we
want true and tried men to do the
work. 1t would be very difficult for
us to secure exactly what we want, If
Capt. Bachelor should be defeated.
Let our good citizens not forget the
importance Of his election, and when
he is in the State Senate, they may
draw on him at pleasure for any SER
vice. and it will be cheerfully and
promptly performed.

Poor Nellie Grant,


WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-For several
weeks stories have been in circulation
about an unpleasant condition of af-
fairs between Nellie Grant Sartoris
and her husband. Long and minutely
detailed histories of this difficulty and
the probability Of a divorce have been
in various Eastern publication offices
for some time, but no publication of
these stories was made in Eastern pa
pers until the story first appeared in
Denver. The local papers here have
had several columns upon this subject
from day to-day. The Critic contains
the following, which throws more light
upon what has already been printed:
. The newspaper gossip about an un-
p~leasantness existing in the married
relations of Mrs. Nellie Grant Satoris
and her husband does not surprise
those familiar with their courtship.
They look upon these reports as the
natural sequence of the uncongenial-
to use a mild phrase-alliance. Miss
Nellie was a girl of sweet disposition
and gentle manners-her fathers idol
while Sartoris vas a rouh and coarse
grained Englishman. His general con-
duct, in connection with the fact that
he had exhibited some of Miss Nellie's
letters TO him, accompanied with gross
remarks, to persons in a Wisconsin
town where an accomplished young
lady had rejected his addresses, caused
solicitude among many of Gen. Grants
personal friends, some of whom con-
suited as to the propriety of informing
him of Satoris' conduct with a view to
regaining possession of Miss Nellie's
letter.
Senator Matt Carpenter finally
consented to breach the delicate sub
ject to Gen. Grant. He called at the
White House, and in as delicate a
manner as possible commenced relating
the current scandal as to Sartoris'
notorious conduct, when the General
remarked:
"That will do, Senator. Ny
daughter is engaged to Mr.. Sartoris,
and the wedding will take place."
Senator Carpenter, in speaking of the
interview, said he never left so
chegrined as at the Presidents abrupt
closing of the conversation, and that
he would never again under any cir
cumstances attempt to advise about
the domestic affairs of any one. 1t
was well known that Gen. Grant was
opposed to the alliance, but when his
daughters affections were engaged be
acquiesced and would listen to no
argument or suggestion to the con-
trary.
When Gov. Jewell was returning
from his mission at st. Petersburg, to
accept aposition in Gen. Grants cabi-
net, he stopped a day at South Hamp-
ton to call upon the elder Mr.. and Mrs.
Sartoris, the parents of Miss Nellie's
husband. He was cordially received
by them, but in the course of CONVEX
sation Mrs. Sartoris astonished the ex-
minister to Russia by remarking that
she "didn't see what there was about
Algernon to cause the daughter Of the
President of the great United States to
fall in love with and marry" Gov.
Jewell subsequently expressed the
same establishment.

The Republicans In ohio Enjoying
a Big Disgust.

AIl !
a Big Disgust.
COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 1.-THE close of
the week finds both parties still claim
ing the Legislature, but the prospect
for Republican success is not en-
%.cOuragiDg. While the result in Hamil-
ton county will not be. positively
known until the official count is can
vassed, yet latest advices indicate it is
Democratic without doubt.
In continuing the counting of the
vote of Franklin county to-day irregu-
laTities were discovered in precinct B,
Fourth ward; precinct b. Twelfth
ward, and precinct A, Thirteenth
ward. Inspection of the papers
showed that the tally sheets were
not signed, failure of the judges to
sign the poll.books and no
evidence of where or when the
election took place. These are con-
sidered illegal returns, and if they
should be thrown out 1t will elect the
entire Democratic ticket in this coun.
", except Allen D. Myers, and give
the Democracy another Representative.
AS the errors are in strong Republican
wards the Republicans are very much
discouraged tonight, for by losing a
member Of the Legislature here they
would only claim a majority Of one on
Joint ballot. Arguments were made
this afternoon in behalf of the candi-
dates, but a decision will not be reach
ed until Monday.
Chairman Powell Sage says he is
more confident than ever that the gen.
eEal assembly will be Democratic in
both branches, and that they will have
= majority Of i've on joint ballot.

Accident on the Mississippi Valley
Dad

Road.
New Orleans City Item 10th.
There was a wreck on the Mississip-
pi Valley railroad at 1925 o'clock this
morning at Sauve Station, FIVE miles
from the city, which resulted in the
serious injury Of John P%endergrast,
foreman of the water supply of the
road, who was on the engine.
Three other passengers, one of whom
was John Miller, was also injured-all
very slightly, however.
Upon the arrival of the train, which
by the accident was delayed two hours,
as far as car be ascertained it appears
that the train was on its way to the
city, running at the rate Of thirty miles
an hour when the switch at Souve was
struck. 1t had been fixed so that the
switch ran the train into the side track,
upon which were several box cars.
The cars were telescoped, and a smash
up occurred. The box cars were
broken into bits, and the locomotive
and baggage, mail and express cars
considerably damaged.
Engineer Cook saw the danger, and
did all he could to avert the accident,
but without avail. He and his fire.
men fortunately escaped without any
further injury than a few slight
bruises.
The train was a through one from
Memphis, and had on board a good
number Of passengers, among the
number a delegation Of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers.
The accident having occurred on the
side track, the main track was not
harmed and travel will be uninter-
rupted.
The switch, it is supposed, had been
misplaced by some miscreant.
A lady passenger who was slightly
injured was sent to the Touro In
Urinary,

A Pretty Good Chestnut.

Two weeks ago Bishop McNierney,
of Albany, was here on a visit. He was
suffering at the time from rheumatism.
While going through one of the parks
he picked up a horse chestnut and ask
ed a friend who was with him some
thing about it. The friend was a Cal
ifornian, who said the people of Cali
fornia believed that if a person carried
a horse chestnut in his pocket it would
cure rheumatism. The Bishop stated
that he had rheumatism and that
while he was not in the least superstiti.
Gus he would take n and give it a
trial. He has since written here that
he has had no return of his rheumatic
troubles since he took the chestnut,
and that he will continue to carry it.

Ex-Governor Washburne was chief
speaker. He deprecated the zeal shown
by some young graduates, who would
create a radical change in the curricu-
lum. He said he believed our colleges
turn out men better equipped for life
than English universities. AS to
minor charges, he said he was not par
%ticular, but when it came to touching
languages he believed we should move
with great caution. The governor
closed by saying in regard to corpora
ton: IL must raise my voice against
the growth of political caucus and
electioneering method in the annual
elections. Yale college has made some
of our best men fail by the use of their
names in this connection"

and vivacity in every department. 1
have been deeply impressed by your

those for the instruction Of the deaf

is carried to a far greater degree of
perfection here than in England. In
regard to your libraries, l have been
pleased to see the great Improvements
that you have owe those in England.
Same is true in regard to the smaller
libraries. These great advantages
should make America a nation of
scholars"
