A Days Happenings in South Ca-o-

The trouble in colored military circles IN
Charleston in regard to the arrest of Col.
w. h. Robertson on the charge Of embez-
Element has rot yet ended. As soon as
Justice Gleason RECEIVERS from his illness the
case will be tried and, perhaps, settled.
zen. >. D. Lee has received a letter from
| the Adjutant Generals Office in reply TO his
communication giving the facts and cir
cumstances of the arrest of Robertson.
| The opinion expressed in the letter received
by Gen. Lee is that the matter is purely a
military one, and should have been sub
mitted to the regularly constituted military
court, and that the Trial Justice has no
jurisdiction in the matter whatever. The
letter further states that the matter will be
submitted to the Commander n-Chief, Gov.
Richardson, as soon as he returns to Column

jefferson Davis Lawrence, of Sumter
county, whose name figured in one of the
recent green goods cases in New York,
was in Charleston day or two ago. Mr..
Lawrence is well known IN his immediate
neighborhood, and the news of his escapade
in New York made considerable stir in his
section. He said in Charleston that great
injustice has been done him by some of the
New York papers. He had had no CORE
spondence whatever, he said, with the green
goods men. He went to New York on bust
ness and was waylaid by the sharpers, who
endeavored to inveigle him into the purchase
of their green goods. While they were
talking to him the detectives came up and
arrested the party. Mr.. Lawrence is a
farmer and also merchandise, . as they say
in the country He said that his principal
object in going to New York was to buy not
green goods" but groceries He has been
dealing with several firms there for some
years, and has as much credit as he desires
with them. He is naturally much mortified
at having been mixed up in the "green
goods" affair, but is confident that those
who know him will place no credence in the
story that he h d any idea of purchasing
green goods"

PIERROT OUT OF JAIL.

The Gay Frenchman Once More
Breathes Free Air--How He Takes it.
Monsieur Robert Pierrot, the frisky book
canvasser, who for the past five months has
languished in Jail upon a charge of forgery,
is once more free. His wel-known form
was seen on the streets yes
terdav and he went about
among his acquaintance with that
same suave manner and lnsinuating
converse that characterized him when he
first appeared in Savannah ami was 50 ia
vorably received. His cheek has lost none
of its delicate rose color, his teeth none Of
their pearliness and his silken tile none of
its gloss
Monsieur Pierrot was released yesterday
on account of a Disappearance of evidence
against him and the failure of his pros
cutors to show up. According to PierroU's
account, his employer, George Barrie, art
publisher of New York, became convinced
of his innocence two months ago, after hav-
ing submitted his alleged forgeries to ex-
perts. and notified the authorities here. The
firm SAID nothing aDout settling for his Jail
expenses, and the authorities detained him
with the expectation of putting him on
trial on secondary evidence The firm came
forward yesterday, Plelrot says and set
tied all expenses, and he was released He
says that he bore his confinement as well a,
he could. He was provided with funds from
his house and his foster sister in New York
and with the New York, Boston and Savan-
nah daily papers. books, magazines and in
sketching he was relieved of some OF the
tedium of prison life and his Punishment
from congenial society. He said that he is
grateful to the Jail officers Jailer kinchley
especially, For the treatment he received
and he added that it is his intention TO go to
New York at once, where he will remain
with his foster sister, and he might
perhaps listen TO proposition
from his house to renew his connection with
it, He says the only dread he has is that
his prison life and contact with degraded
beings have not left him uncOntamnated,
and 1T is possible that those finer feelings OF
mind and heart, of which he says, he has
always been proud, have become dulled TO
some extent.
He grieved at many things that have been
said OF him in the newspapers, especially
references to him as being an habitue of
bar-rooms. etc. He said that he purposelv
avoided an entrance into Savannah society
because the duties of a society man ham
pered him and deprived him of an
Indulgence in Bohemian abandon,
that a man who has done a hard days work
at canvaSSing SO much desires He added
that he has mingled in the very best society
of New York, Boston, Washington and Bal
timore, and has always found his duties in
responding to invitations to dine, TO
theatres, balls and parties and escorting
