and reliable statement of the condition
of current affairs in that county. The
shooting of SHIREY, the accidental
wounding of negro boy, the imaginary
plot for HARRIsoN's assassination, the
acquittal of NEwLIN, and the introduc-
ton of United States troops to preserve
n peace which nobody threatens, are
points to which the article in question
refers in q plain but forcible manner.
We offer it as complete refutation of
NEwLIN's version of his own bloody
act-a version published in yes
terday mornings Mt,Uigencer. The ar
ticle we give is the production of a
truthful and disinterested man, and its
correctness is endorsed by the best and
most respectable citizens of hat Sec
tion. By candid persons, it will GER
tainly be received with as much favor
as the unsupported statement OF man
whose hands are red with the blood of
innocence, and whose conscience is bur-
dened with the guilt of an attempt to
take the life Of a fellow-man. That CY-
RUS NEwLIN is innocent there is no room
to believe. The action of the Radical
Grand Jury in refusing to hear the tes-
timony of his accusers, is primd Jacie
evidence of his guilt, and this evidence
is confirmed by his own indecent con-
duet in Fastening to his own defense,
and attempting the public deception by
the anonymous publication of yindi-
cation of which he himself is the author.
The clear and consistent narration
which we publish finally fastens the
shooting of SIIIREY upon NEwLIN and we
have no hesitation in saying that moral
ly, HARRIsoN's Prosecuting Attorney
cannot be held guiltless. There are
many other matters of interest which
this communication relieves of doubt
and obscurity, and we chcerfully COM
mend it to the careful perusal of our
readers.

An exciting case of scandal has turn
up at indianapolis, involving the repu-
tation of two parties who have been
permanently connected with the most
aristocratic church in that city. The
man in the affair is young lawyer, at
tractive and brilliant, and noted for his
piety as shining light in the Young
Mems Christian Association. The female
party is on the shady side of forty, good
looking, and left Boston several years
since with heart gushing with scheme
for the amelioration Of the human race.
After teaching music she married, and,
in the course of human events, dressed
in black. She married again, but SIC
cumbed to the wiles Of the gay deceiyer.
1t was at social party that the soul
thrilling eyes Of young man led her TO
enter upon a career of guilty intimacy.
The lady was rich, and the young man
had no delicacy in taking large sums Of
money from her. But a lovers quarrel
terminated at last in his marriage TO q
beautiful and accomplished young lady
Of Ohio. The two, however, in due
time met again, were reunited, and re-
sumed their criminal intercourse. The
young man then yearned for the lady's
estate, and she consented to convert her
worldly goods into cash. She gave her
paramour legal power to enable him to
handle her property, but at this point
an explosion came, and their names are
in every lady's mouth. West Chapel,
in indianapolis, is in an uproar, and one
light NO longer shines IN the Young Mems
Christian Association.

The Baltimore American of Saturday last,
says


We laid before our readers yesterday the
speech of President johnson, delivered from
tile Executive Mansion on Thursday, to an
assemblage composed principally of what
was known during the war as Copperheads,
Southern sympathizers and returned Rebel
soldiers. The sentiments expressed ON the
occasion brought exultation and gladness to
their hearts equal to that occasoned by the
iIdings of the first Rebel victory at Bull Run,
and will be hailed by their cOnfederates at
the South with as much jubilation as they
would have felt during the war if Lee had
routed Grant, or Sherman had been driven
into the ocean with all the gallant and loyal
hosts that followed him from Atlanta
Though those who thus rejoice did not sue
ceed in electing Mcclellan, they have secur-
ed more unexpected victory, but one that
will very likelysyield bitter fruits, as it will
cement and concentrate the Union senti-
ment OF the country, and give to the South,
in the end, harder terms than they might
otherwise have obtained from the present or
succeeding Congress.


Whilst the loyal men of the country will
lament over the detection of President
whom they trusted, and whose utterances
had heretofore given hope that he would
prove equal to the trust reposed in him, the
tone, and temper, and language employed
by him on this occasion will cause a deep
shock of humiliation and sorrow. We have
no heart to further allude to the subject at
this time. We are in the midst of political
revolution that will al once cause the con-
centration OF opinion and the formation of
parties and keep the country in turmoil of

Is A DEATH-BED MARRIAGE LEdAL?--
An interesting case is now pending in the
Circuit Court, involving some nice points of
law IN relation to the solemnization of the
marriage ceremony. Some years since a
prominent citizen, Mr. Andrew Fuqua, died,
possessed of considerable property. By his
will, his wife by second marriage came into
possession of all the property, which she
was to hold during life in case she remained
widow, At her death, if unmarried, the
property would revert to her husbands re-
latives If she married, however, one.half
the property was TO be hers, to be disposed
as sho might think proper. Mrs. Fuqua
was hopelessly i'll with some lung disease,
and two days before her death, was induced
by her brother to marry, that she might
thus acquire the title in fee simple to half
the property, which she then could deed to
her own relatives, instead of allowing her
husbands heirs to inherit it,


Her brother had been a captain in one of
the Indiana regiments, and induced one of
his men to play the role of husband in the
death-bed marriage, in consideration of $500
paid down. The arrangement was made, the
purchase money paid over, and the dying
woman, unable to sit up in her bod was
married to the heartless adventurer, who
could thus make merchandise and mockery
of the most solemn sacrament recognized
in the civilized world, the ceremony being
performed by minister of this city, who,
it would seem, could not have been altogeth-
er ignorant of the nature of the transaction
At any rate, the husband after the ceremony,
left the house, went on a spree with his $500
and never saw his wife again, who died two
days after. He never slept night beneath
her roof. The action was brought by Mr..
Fuqua's relatives to contest the validity of
the marriage. The best talent is employed
on both sides, and the case will undoubtedly
prove one of great interest to the public as
well as to the legal fraternity. Washington

The total Of this sum is less than the mn
nual income of the estates presented to the
Duke of Wellington by the British govern
ment and people. II will doubtless be re-
membered that, after the battle of Waterloo
and the fall OF Napoleon, the English Parlia-
ment voted an estate to the Iron Duke to
cost two hundred thousand pounds, or a mil
lion of dollars (not in greenbacks, but gold.
The Duke was TO select his estate. Several
were offered him, many of them princely.
Among others was one offered bv an old
nobleman who had two, and who prided
himself ON the extent and condition of the
one which he would be only too proud to
have the Duke accept. The Duke was in.
Vited to examine it, and promised to do so
When he came down from London for that
purpose the old lord happened to have
severe attack of the gout He sent expla-
nations and many apologies to the Duke,
and said that, as he could not come himself,
he had sent his steward or head man to show
him the farm" Very WE'LL" said the
Duke, "all right" and off the pair started
to see it. Several hours after leaving his
lord the steward returned, covered from head
to foot with dust and mud, and painting as il
he had made the tour on foot instead of on

BREAD AND BUTTER.-Hall, in his journal
of Health, gives the following bit of wisdom:
Bread and butter are the only articles ofwhich
we never tire, from early childhood to extreme
old age. A pound of fine -four or Indian meal
contains three times as much meat as one pound
of butchers roast beef; and if the whole pro-
duct of the grain, bran and all were made into
bread, fifteen per cent. more of nutriment
would be added. Unfortunately, the bran, the
coarsest part of which gives soundness to the
teeth and strength to the brain, is generally
excluded. Five hundred pounds of -four give
te the body thirty pounds of the honey ailment
while the same quantity of bran gives more
than one hundred and twenty-five pounds


This bone is lime the phosphate of lime,
the indispensable ailment of health to the whole
human body, from the want of fthe natural sup
ply of which multitudes of persons 90 into a
general decline. But swallowing phosphate
in the shape of powders or in syrups, to cure
these declines has little or no effect The ar
ticles contained in these phosophates must pass
through natures laboratory be subject to her
manipulations in alembics specially prepared
by Almighty power and skill in order to frame
in palmer phrase the shortest, safest and infal-
lible method of giving strength to the body,
bone and brain, thereby arresting disease, and
building up the constitution, is to eat and di-
gest more bread made out of the whole grain,

THE TELEGRAPH PUT TO COOP UsE.-Twen-
ty years ago. both the Methodist and the Bap-
tist denominations divided on the slavery ques-
ton but at the last session of the New York
East Methodist Conference, finding that the


Southern Conference of that denomination was
in session in New Orleans, they used the tele-
graph, and sent a fraternal message, proposing
that both bodies should unite in special prayer


on the following Sunday for the restoration OF
brOtherly love and concord among all Christian
bodies of the country, especially among the va
rious Methodist bodies North and South. The
Southern Conference returned answer by the
same MEANS accepting the proposition in most
fraternal and suitable terms, in series Of re-


solutions, signed by the presiding Bishop and
the secretary of the Conference. The telegram
did not arrive in New York until early on the
Sunday morning, but was notified to all the
churches of the Conference, and the day was
spent in the manner indicated. The restora-
ton of brotherly love-" There are the best
men in all denominations seeking this secretly,
and perhaps prayerfully, but why should not
such propositions be publicly made at the
meetings of the different denominations
throughout the land? 1t was the remark of a
venerable minister, when the separation occur
red twenty years ago" Ii religious ties are
not strong enough to bind us together as one
nation, how long will political ties be found
so?' 1t is no doubt the case that the aliena-
ton was originally strongest in the churches,
but now, the cause of the strife being done
away, the secondary difficulties alone remain to
be healed. There is no substantial cause for
them, only the estranged habits of thought
and feeling which have grown out Of causes
now removed
It NAV be doubted whether it would be at oil


wise to press now for the doing away of any Of
the organizations of separate Southern Boards
or Conferences in the Methodist or any other
denomination, or By the North at all. The
Episcopalians of the South have voluntarily
given up their Convention. But all these
j things will work themselves right in due time;
Religious bodies, as they now exist, must al


meet as equals, as brothers and it is this res,

A FACT WORTH KNowING.-It is a remark
able fact that persons losing themselves in the
forest, or in snow storm, manifest invariably
a tendency to turn around gradually to the left,
to the extent even of eventually moving in a
circle. The explanation Of this is found, pro-
badly, in the fact that the limbs and muscles
of the right side are generally better developed
ment felt when one is lost, and in the absence
of any guiding line, the superior energy of the
right limbs throws the pedestrian, insensibly,

As bookkeeper wended his way from the store,
Glad that his toilsome hours were o.er.

Went out in the wild, rough gusts that beat
With furious speed through the gloomy street.
