CONGRESSMAN RciI'S Fall.

Much surprise is exhibited by his COL
leagues In the House of Representatives
over the downfall of Congressman James
w. Reid, of North Carolina. Before the
election Mr.. Reid was publicly charged with
obtaining money from the Waohoria Bank,
in Winston, by using Sc, 900 order of Rock.
inghnm county, of which he was Treasurer,
when, in fact, the order was issued for the
purpose of paying county debt. After
wards this order was issued in smaller or
ders, to be used in taking up the six thou
sand dollar order. Mr.. Reid pledged these
small orders as collateral and got money on
them, while the larger order was still held
by the bank. When the bank demanded
the cash Mr.. Reid raised the money and
paid off both debts. He was violently at
tackled by Mr.. John Il. Webster, a demo
crat, and the publisher of paper at Reids-
vile. The transactions could not be ex-
planned, and last month Mr. Reid, as the re-
publican candidate, was defeated for re-.
election to Congress. 1t is now ascertaine6
that Mr.. Reid mas raised $50, 600 on property
not worth over IS, 000, and that he has pledged
his salary as Congressman until the 4th of
March to several persons and raised money
in this way. He obtained ten days leave
and is now reported to have gone to Canada,
Reid, who is only 81 years OF age, is an elo
quent speaker, and at one time no man
stood higher in the estimation of all peo
pie who knew him. He was Deputy Grand
Master of Masons, and was a great fayorite
in that order. He is married, and has ssy.
eral children. One brother, The Rev. Frank
L. Reid. is editor OF the Christian Adrocate
The other brother, Fletcher R. id, lives in
Danville, Va, and is the one who shot Web.
ster for bis attacks on his brother about tn.
bank transactions. His father, the Rev.
Numa F. Reid, was the ablest Methodist
divine in the North Carolina.

miah Jordan, Parnellite member of the

ment to do its worst by arrests and
coercion against the plan. These

MOSby'S lecture,

A fairly.tall man, with dark hair streaked
with gray, square featured, large body, and
mouth that is as straight rs an arrow, deep
piercing eyes, represents Col. John S. Mos.
by, who leetured here last evening for the
benefit Of the relief fund of Post ST, G. Ar.
MIR. Mosby is pleasant man to talk With,
but his features in repose are deeply stern.
He is as little like the picture that was
given as his portrait during the war as can
we'll be imagined. Previous to entering
upon the stage he held John Smoker
'Swar'ee' in the ante room, where ex- Union
soldiers, besides civilians were given all op.
portunity TO grasp his flesh, and with ears
on the alert to listen to the hunks of wis
dom that fell from his lips. COL Mosby is a
typical Southerner, if a broad brogue is a
distinguishing characteristic for while his
voice is tnll and deep, there is rich rolling
of the words, which is delicious in itself to
listen to. The Colonel is not dramatic
speaker but constant dry humor pervades
everything he says or does, keeping the au.
dience in an amused state of mind constant
~. Last evenings lecture was on ''Stuart's
Cavalry" There was a fair-sized at
tendance in the hall. Col. Mosby COM
menced his lecture by referring to the
Seven Days battle, which was fought
behind entertainments and in swamps.
He described his capture and his subsequent in.
generation in Fredericksburg his exchange, the
important information he had CLEANED while in
that place, and the subsequent conveyal of the
information to General Lee. His interview with
the great commander he described as follows: ~
now found myself for the first time in the pre-.
sence of the great commander Of the Army of
Northern Virginia He was alone, porting over
some maps OH the table and no doubt planning q
new campaign. Although his manner was gcntle
and kind, felt for him awe and s reverence
which never fe t for any other man. He was
then the foremost man in all tho world and al
most imagined that saw one of tho Homer he
roes before me. With some embarrassment told
him what l had learned about Burnsde's troops
he listened attentively, and, after was through,
called to staff officer to have a courier roady to
take dispatch to Gen. Jackson. At that time
communication was kept up between them by a
limo of relay couriers." The Colonel continuing
related the operations at Manassas, the silent
march of General Stonewsll Jackson with &c, 900
men in the rear of Pope's army, the capture of
Manassas by Stuarts cavalry, ETC. He criticised
General Pope severely in tho course of his re-.
marks. Tho lecture was quite long. aud many
personal "reminiscences were iutcIs 2erscd in it
