AMONG THE PRISONERS


In the New Lookup Last Nisht-a Full
House.
A reporter visited the nes lookup last
night and found quite brisk air of bust
ness pervading the place. All the cells
except one had occupants, who were talk
ing and in other ways trying to relieve the
monotony of playing checkers with their
noses. "Buck," whom almost everybody
knows, occupied cell No. 2, and he was
evidently q good deal enthused," as he
talked "streak." After he had secured q
'chaw of terbacker" he asked visitor to
send him down some plum puddin.
A young woman who did not look well
behind the bars, being petite, and rather
pretty brunette, said she was innocent and
had beau who would see that che came
out all right in the morning. All the
other inmates were taking theirs out IN
trying to sleep, and when the gong sounds

The Duty on Rice,

A delegation Of Southern men,
among whom were Senators Ransom,
Harris and Gibson and Congressman
King, of Louisiana, was heard last
week by Secretary Manning and AS
sistant Secretary Fairchild in behalf of
the rice planters. They seek to have
rescinded or amended an order issued
during Secretary Folger's administra-
ton under which they say food rice is
admitted in large quantities at the rate
OF 20 per cent, ad ValOrume instead of
paying the specific rate fixed by law.
The order referred to relates to granu-
lated rice, an article imported largely
tor brewers. The claim is made by
planters that importations under this
order are doing great injury to the
market for food rice. The Secretary
has the matter under advisemont.

The Salvation Army.

The good people of the South will
learn with regret and with feelings of
dread and disgust that the so-callcd
"Salvation Army" arc accumulating
what they call "Southcrn fund.-" for
the purpose Of sending a detachment
here for the purpose of making con-
Verts. They will come with all their
silly parade, brass bands, banners,
gaudy uniforms and pernicious prac-
tices, with which they falsely affirm
they are doing God service and promot-
ing the cause of Christianity. They
have become q public nuisance in all
lands, have been pelted and abused by
mobs and driven pell nell out of cities
and countries. Now they propose to
invade South Carolina and other
Southern States, to provo to us through
eye and ear that they arc q despicable,
unmitigatcd public nuisance, and that
the treatment they have received by
the populace in Europe and America
is in many respects well deserved.
What has the South done that VIC
should be punished thus?- Colun6ia

GRANT ANp JouNsoN.
An Improbable stors of tho Early Period
OF fReconstruction.

Chauncey NJ. Depew has written to
Col. Ed. Grant, giving particulars of
q conversation with Gen. Grant four
years ago at dinner. Mr.. Depew
says that after President Lincoln was
killed and President johnson inangu-
rated, the latter wanted to reject tho
terms given by Grant to the Confed-
eracy, and wanted all the officers who
had left the regular army to take sides
with the Confederacy summarily dealt
with by court-martial. President
Johnson also wanted to take extreme
measures with all the leaders of the
Confederaoy. Grant determined tha.
the terms of the agreement should be
adhered to-, and If there were to be
any courts-martial, Gen. Grant would
be the first tried, as he intended to
stand by tho parole. Johnson after
wards changed his views. Grant as
cribcd Johuson's course to his hatred
of the shareholders, and when tho war
started, believing in the power of the
government, he saw his opportunity to
defeat his enemies, confiscate their
property, and humiliate their pride.
Johnson's absorbing ambition had been
to be received by the slave holding
not been able to break down the class
barrier. While johnson was looking
for means to break the agreement OF
Grant, The leaders Of the oligarchy y
called on him, and acknowledged that
rs President of the United States he
became, regardless of birth, not only
one of them, but their leader. After
this johnson became rs anxious to
save as he had been to destroy. Presi-
dent johnson even wanted Grant to
sustain him in scheme to allow all
the States recently in rebellion thciI
full quota Of Senators and Representa-
tives, but Grant threatened to drive
such Congress out of the Capitol al
the point of the bayouct. johnson
afterwards tried to get Grant to go on
o mission to Mexico, to get him out
of the way, but Grant refused and the
matter was dropped.

THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR.
HOW the Unsuspecting arc Often
GUIIed.
CAPITAL VERSUS MERIT.

1t is possible that money dipped into a
bounteouS supply of printers ink, is to be
used to teach false ideas.
Why is it that such persistent anathemaS
should all ut once be hurled against the use
of "PotaSh and Potash MiXtuteS?"
Those who insist that Potash is n poison
do SO because that is the way they have of
lighting B. b. b., as the latter contains
potash properly combined.
Opium, morphine, Shychnine, acOnte,
whiskey etc, are all deadly poisOns, and
are daily destroying the lives of people,
and why do not these men cry out against
them? 1t is because there is no money in
sight to do So Potash is not regarded as
poison, and very seldom harms any one;
but those who abuse it are usinga Yegeta-
BILE poison ten times as violent. Iodidc of
Potash, in proper combination, is regarded
by the medical profession as the quickest,
grandeSt and most powerful blood remedy
over known to man. Those who believe in
revealed combinations and Indian foolish
ness are surely in condition to become
rather "Cranky' in their ideas at any time.
We assert underStandmgly that POTASH IS
used i'll the manufacture Of B. B. b., Is rot
a poison, and the public need not place a.Ny
confidence in assertions to the cOntrar
Why Is it that in one thousand letteI 8
which we receive we. never hear wOrl
against its use? The truth is; b. b. B. is
working such wonders in the cure of all
blood poiSons, scrofula, rheumatism, ca
taTh, etc, that others arc trembling in
their boots, and cry aloud, "posOn,"
'fraud," because they fear it's triumphant
march. Let any man or woman ask any
respectable doctor or druggist IL VIC arc
not right. Do not be deceived, but go
right along and call for b. B. b., and be
cured, 1t is making five times more cures
In Atlanta than all other blood remedies
combined. We don't say that others arc
poisons o. frauds; we are not that easily
alarmed, but we say ours is the best, and
we have the proof. Send for our 32-page

THE MINISTER TO SPAIN.
What Doctor Curry Says OF tho Recent Oh.
jections to His Appointment.


The Rev. DR.. Curry, the newly ap.
pointed Minister to Spain, spent a day
last week at the State Department,
where Go consulted with the Secretary
and Assistant Secretary Of State, with
his predecessor, and with Mr.. viii
liams, United States Consul-General to
Cuba. TO reporter of the Associated
Press, DR.. Curry said he expected to
leave for his post on the 9th Novem-
ber. ''It is said, sir" remarked the
reporter, "that you were once in COM
mand at Andersonville, and were in
part responsible for the cruelty prac-
ticed toward the Federal prisoners"
"l never was in AnderSonville in nv
life" replied DR.. Curry, "and l never
had command of Federal prisoners in
my life, except such as 1 captured my
self and those turned over at once.
| cannot imagine how such q story GOT
its start. | shall be glad if you will
make my denial broad and emphatic. -
"The critics Of your appointment. -
continued the reporter, "question the
propriety OF sending Baptist clergy
near court so strongly Catholic" "
"The criticism is unjust" was the
reply. ''lt would be Il strange thing
If the strongest denomination in the
country-you know we are the strong
est-were to be disqualified for diplo-
matte offices on religious grounds. A
mans religion, hold, is o thing be-
tween his God and himself, and one
with which the Government has moth
ing to do. am a little surprised at
the criticism too. The hardest strug-
gle l have had when in politics was as
candidate for the Legislature in Ala
bama during the "Know- Nothing" ex-
element. The issues, you remember,
were two-ono proposition to deny
to foreigners the privilege OF natualza-
ton after six years residence, and the
other proposition to disqualify Roman
lists from holding office. My county
was pivotal one, and my competitor
the ablest man on that side of the
State. My success was very crafty
ing"
"Were you an anti-Know-Nothing!'' ~
Eyes; l was champion, can't say
Of the Catholics, but of the principle of
Americanism, which is embodied in
the Constitution, of equal rights and
privileges for ALL"
"Of course you anticipate no objec-
ton from the Spaniards to your rcccp-
tion?"
"Certainly not. The Spanish Gov
ernment knows my mission has nothing
to do with religion"
81 am very much gratifed by two
things, [ may say three things" con-
tinued DR.. Curry. "When I was OBJ
jccted to on tho ground of being un-
known, SO strong Republican paper
as the Providence Journal vouched fol
me and said l was all right. Again
Mr.. Washburn's card was exceedingly
gratifying, coming from Republican
leader, himself having been eight years
Foreign Minister. But the ex pres.
sions of approval from the colorcd peo
| pie Of the South have been exceedingly
hearty and pleasing. My long connec
ton with the Peabody fund has made
me widely known among them anC
they have taken pains to express theil
approval of my appointment"
