AARON PRIOLEAU IS
 IN MORE TROUBLE
NEGRO CLAIMED SEAT IN CON- GRESS FROM SOUTH CAROLINA, BUT IT SEEMS HE MUST FACE GRAVE CHARGE.

Washington, February 13.-(Special.)- J. Aaron Prioleau, the contestant against George S. Legare of the First district of South Carolina. is unhappy. PTioleau is a negro He ran against Legare three years ago and got 175 votes, on the strength of which he made contest and at the end of the Congress was voted, according to the usual custom, 5000. Two years ago Prioleau again ran against Legare and increased his vote to 2S4, Legare receiving 6O6S. Again he made n contest was given the privilege of the vote of the House and on the strength of his once more getting the sum of 5000 has been having a good time in Wash ington.
 Before running for Congress he was a railway mail clerk and in the course of his duty yielded to temptation in the mat ter of several registered packages. This circumstance resulted ia his indictment trial and conviction. An appeal was taken to the United States court of appeals and Prioleau has felicitated himself that he might escape the penalty imposed upon those who commit the offense of which he was convicted and in due time get the reward which the House hands out for contests.
 But today he received notice from his bondsmen that the court of appeals had decided that the court below did not err and that he must at once yield himself up to the authorities of the law. He at once made ready to take his departure for South Carolina. Meanwhile the cons mittee on elections has his contest case before it and will take 1t up for consid- eration March [.
 Prioieau made himself at home on the floor of the House and acted very much as a full hedged member would. He sat around in the seats down in front and hobnobbed with the leaders of the House most famillarly. During General Gros- venor's speech on the rate bill Prioleau was a most interested listener, sitting throughout in the seat of Representative John DalzelI of Pennsylvania.

 q am able to definitely announce that within a very short time l shall publish and edit a new daily paper in Atlanta, backed by large capital, and ampler equipment than ever sustained by new newspaper in the south. This paper will stvnd for the same principles which have given force and popularity to the paper l have left. Only in this instance 1t will stand for these principles permanently, , because the new daily will have no stock holders, and my only partner will be a gentleman in whose character motives and cooperative fidelity l have implicit and well founded confidence.
