Minister seay Embarrassed.

Tho Washington correspondent of the St.

A story is relai ed Of the reception given to
Judge VIM. A. Seay. Of Louisiana, VINO was
appointed during the summer Minister to
Bolivia. His predecessor was n man OF the
name Of Gibbs. He had had con iderable ex-
perience in iii plomatic life, and was thoroughly
familiar with the rigid etiquette OF South
American ceremonals. The Gay that Judge
Seay was TO be received Mr.. Gibbs gave HIM
breakfast. II was arranged that after the

From the Big Horn W. IT, Sentinel.
A nobby and snobbish Milford Of British ex-
traction Travelled from Big Horn with us aud
Abe Ideman on the stage coach early this
week. Milford WAS excessively exclusive. He
woul du't be social and spoke TO no one except
the two j I'm Henry" servants he had with
him. and was altogether as unpleasant a. his
snobb shness could make him. At a dinner
station there were a lot of jolly cowboys on a
lark, and one OF hem. treating" everybody,
as ed the Englishman TO drink.
OF course MILFORD haughtily refused. The
cowboy displayed dangerous looking six
shooter and very impressively insisted on bis
drinking. "But cawHlt YOU know; l don't
drink you know was milord's reply Mr..
Cowboy brought the muzz e in dangerous
proximity to heknotin which mllord's brains
were supposed to lie hidden somewhere, and
then he said he'd drink he'd take soda water,
you know.
''>oda water nuthin,s said Mr.. Cowboy.
you'll take straight whisky"
''But, aw, this American whisky, / cawn't
swallow 1t, you know"
"Well," sad the cowboy, 'I'll make hole
in the side of your head so that we can pour
it in" and he began TO draw on miiord, and
Milford said, Jaw, that'il do, I'll drink it,
Then the cowboy in tied milOrd's servants
to drink. which hOrrlhed him. "rhey don't
drink, YOU know" he said. "Well. we'll see
whether they do or not" said Mr.. Cowboy
"Ihe chances are you don't give 'em a hop
portunity.' Come up here, YOU fellows, and
guzzle some," a d the two John Henrys. with
a little show of reluctance. but really glad to
get drink, came un and the cowboy passed
a tumblerful of torchlight procession whisky
for mllord, and the servants poured for them
selves.
Then the cowboy made the John Henrys
cling glasses with MILFORD, and all drank and
there was great fun. Milford tried after tnat
to be very jolly, and the stimu ant assisted
him decidedly. But in the coach he fell back
into his exclusiveness and re aimed 1t through
out, and has probably got 10 yet.

I'D. Clews Tic 10 Registor.

York TO decide that the savings banks Of
that State could not lawfully invest their

a few days before the late election, that

Fron, the Velo York Tribune.
Gen. 2. f. Butler remarked to friend here
about the Johnson col trO ersy that it was a
pity that Com. Farragut was not alive to tell
how johnson had consulted him as to the pos
slbiity Of getting the members of Congress to
take a trip on one OF his great ships Of war,
when they could all be imprisoned at once.
Another story have heard concerning this
matter was told by Mr.. Lancaster, a Virginia
banker He was one of a comm ttee of PROM
lnent men of that State who Gale on Johnson
to request q modification of one of his procla-
nations against the South. The President
told them that If he had his way entirely he
would order a confiscatOn of the property OF
every man in the South VINO was worth ovef
20 600. THE rich men of the South might
have prevented the war" he said, land l
would MAKE them suffer its C, n equences. /
would even hang good share of you" The
extreme position held by johnson at this time
toward b South was replaced by an extreme
feeling aga INST the Mort ern men when he
finally became the ally of the democrats. In
a speech that he made in Washington just
afte he shifted ground. he objected to the
payment of pensions to Union soldiers while
men who had been ragged into the onfeder-
ate army innocepty and agaius their will
were left to starve. He adv Gated the pay
ment of pensions to both If either

prove that he was not repeater, and did
not intend to violate the election laws.
He FASTENED to his home, and made very
thorough but unsuccessful search for the
important papers. He then thought
that they might be at his office.
He began by this time 10 think
that he would be deprived Of the salts
faction Of voting for MS friend Davenport,
because the registration books would be
closed hnally in less than an hour. After
long search at his Office he found the
papers, but he did not find them in time
to get registered. He arrived at the
registration Office just five minutes after
the books had been closed.
Although appearances were against
Mr.. Clews, he was able to prove his
citizenship, and would have done so if a
little more time had been given him, but
if he lives to be a century old he will not
be able to prove that the Georgia bonds of
the Bulloch regime, which ne has been
trying to force Georgia to pay, are not
fraudulent.

A man hurried into the Fifth Avenue Hotel

Settling an Important Question


The question, whether it Is possible to
hang a white man in New Orleans who
has influential friends, is being tested in
that city. Patrick Ford and John Muir
ply were sentenced a few months ago to
be hung, and next Friday is the day fixed
for their execution. Ford is brother O:
a former judge Of one Of the police courts,
and Murphy was one Of the officers Of the
court. They were convicted of assassin
ating Capt. A. II. Murphy, at midday, in
one Of the principal streets OF the city.
1t is probable that they would not have
been convicted if It had not been for the
deep feeling of indignation the assassina-
ton aroused among the better class of
people. The demand for the conviction
Of the assassins was so great that the
jury did not dare to do otherwise than to
find a verdict Of guilty. There is no
question that the facts justified the YER
verdict.
The Board Of Pardons is to meet this
week, and a great effort is being made to
have the sentence commuted to imprison-
ment, not because the convicted men are
planned the assassination, Thomas j.
Ford, police magistrate, was sentenced
only to Imprisonment. A petition signed
by 5000 citizens has been prepared to be
submitted to the Board of Par
dOns asking that the sentence
be committed to imprisonment. Some OF
those who were most active in securing
the conviction Of the assassins are now
doing their utmost to save them from the
gallows. The Board of pardons is CON-
posed Of the Lieutenant Governor, the At
torney General, and one of the Judges of
the Criminal Court of the city. If the
sentence is committed, the belief that has
prevailed in New Orleans for a long time,
that it is impossible to hang a white man
there, will be confirmed.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Macon
Telegraph, has been making some very
just comments upon the late so-called
State fair. The fair was not half as
creditable as many of the unheralded and
unpretentiOus county exhibitions held
occasionally at county sites In Georgia.
With the exception of a half dozen
exhibits, there was nothing worth seeing
inside the fair buildings. Outside the
buildings the exhibits were little better.
The little side shows in which the strong
woman bumped herself and tossed
the massive cannon ball lightly
to and fro, and the thin, yellow woman
charmed the natives by her familiarity
with fangless snakes doubtless reflected
great credit upon the agricultural re-
sources of the State. If the agricultural
society can't do any better than it did
this year at Macon it had better retire
from the agricultural show business. 1t
is roaring farce, pure and simple, to
work ( y year and then thrust upon the
attention of a lenient public such an abOr-
ton and call it an industrial and agricul-
tural exhibition. If the thing is to be re-
peated without improvement its
name had better be changed.
We know. however, that the society can
do better-a great deal better-and IL
ought not to receive credit for doing any,
thing until it does do better. Georgia
can furnish exhibits sufficient to make a
great and attractive fair, and she will
furnish them if she is approached in the
right sort Of a way. What must have
visitors from other States thought Of the
resources OF Georgia who saw the colloc-
ton at MacOnf
