The Lagrange Monitor ia dead, the editor, our venerable friend Y. W. Gates, baring de- termined to return to Jackson and there start another paper. The State Press association will meet at CLuksville on the twenty-fir- st instant. Mrs. Brinphurst, tiee Nettie 1. Houston, of Texas, will be the poet cf an occasion which there is no room to doubt will bo most profitable and enjoyable. Tiik strawberries shipped from GacUden station this year brought eighteen thousand four hundred and twenty-fiv- e dollars. Ap- pearances now indicate that the peach-cro- p will be equally remunerative. That suits us. Tiik Lagrange Monitor thinks Hon. J. D. C. Atkins the mxst suitable man for speaker of the nest house. He is a warm friend of the Texas Pacific railroad, and we hope, says the Monitor, the position of speaker will be tendered him. The Milan Exchange is in favor of holding a rousing mass -- meeting in Trenton on the first Monday in July, in order to get the sen- timent of the people in regard to the State debt, so that they can instruct their repre- sentatives what to do. Give us, says tho Indianapolis Journal, the great southern railroad to California, and manufactories of our staples in the Missis- sippi valley and on the Pacific coast, and we will command a large share of the China, Japan and the East India trade within ten years. This plan will help us out of debt much sooner than Secretary John Sherman's plan. Tiik Huinloldt Herald is authority for the stateaienl that all the leading papers of the Stiite have taken the position that the legisla- ture should the governor call them in extra session ought to accept the proposition of the holders of Tennessee securities to com- promise tho State debt at sixty cents on the dollar, and thereby save the people of Ten- nessee ten million dollars. Tub United States has more lines of rail- way than Russia, Turkey, Germany, Austria, Great Uritain , France smd Italy combined, the5 total mileage of the United States being nearly eighty thousand miles, against seventy-- six thou5and six hundred and twenty miles in the countries named. Yet Russia has more than double the population of the United States, Germany about two millions greater, and Great Uritain, Fnnce- - and Austria sev- erally ubou? two millions 1? than this coun-l- r. And yet we are not satisfied, and will not t until we cover this continent with a net-wor- k of railroad. If Hayes wiiTits to do the country a real service, he will recall Pierre-pout- , who is making an ass of himself generally; The latest evidence of this comes to us in the statement that he recently petitioned Earl 3Ianvers, the' head of the Pierre-pon- ts of England, for permission to use the family crest on his carriage, and has availed himself of the earl's gracious reply to his re- quest. Thackeray said that an English Enob was the most vulgar of all social pretenders, but there would seem to be a lower deep, if Alio story of the American minister be true. TnE Democratic press of Mississippi is on the alert for the Independents. The Canton Mail denounces them and their attempted division ot the Democratic party for their own selfish purposes and to feed their personal ambition; and the Coffee vL'le Vidttte. Vicks-bur- g Herald and Senatcbia Tidal Wae all unite in calling attention to this party or clique, of mixed complexion, which must be waul1""1 closely and its baneful influence counteract- - "Let us not," say the Vidette, "in our fancJed security allow the wolf to Blip in the gates ot" the folJ- - in the 8"jise of innocent lamb. 'Verily, I say unto you, watch.' " We publish in another place, in thii day's Appeal, a letter trom a well informed corre- spondent touching the crops in this and the adjoining counties of the State. It will be seen that his statements are very encouraging. The crops are both varied and abundant, the amiuntof land under tillage being a large increase on that of any previous year. From Tther parts of the State the same cheering promise of abundant harvests reach us. The tobaeC? Slants in the region devoted to that staple are growing finely, and the yield of wheat in every' pst of the State will be a great increase on ii" of preceding years. Thus with peace comes pioty. Fkom the New York Tribune's Florida correspondent, who a few days since inter- viewed Governor Drew of that State, we learn that that State is getting on very well under the new order of things. Close econ- omy is being introduced in all branches of ihe government. " We shall save," says the governor, " this year thirty thousand dol- lars in our court expenses, twenty-fiv- e thou- sand in the cost of running the penitentiary, and a very large gross mm in county ex- penses.

WASHINGTON. llenly becomes Pate's 8ucceB8or as Post- master at West Point The Mexican Troubles and tbe Last Order. Fostofflce Troubles to be Investigated Postmaster-Gener- al Key lias bis Hands Full Charges of Intimidation. Washington, June 2. II. W. llenly has been appointed postmaster at West Point, Mississippi, rice F. S. Pate, who was dis- missed for fraudulently withholding portions of the amount of certain money orders which were sent to him by the war department to pay the claim bounty of colored THE MEXICAX TROUBLES. General Sherman, in carrying out the in- structions of the secretary ot war in regard to the Rio Grande troubles, merely transmitted to General Ord, commanding the department of Texas, a copy of the letter of the secretary of war, published this morning, which ex- plains fully the desire of the department, and directs General Ord to communicate such let- ter to all the officers under his command. FOSTorricE troubles in Louisiana to be INVESTIGATED. The postoffice department has sent a special agent to Louisiana to take action re- garding two novel cases, in both of which the persons appointed to be postmasters are unable to get possession of their oihees. It appears that Samuel Chapman, a colored man, was commissioned last January as post- master of Clinton, an office in East Feliciar.a parish, worth about nine hundred dollars a year. Under date of New Orleans, May 15th, he wrote to Postmaster-Gener- al Key, stating that on account of the unsettled condition of affairs in the parish he made no attempt to occupy the office until May 15th, and that in the act of taking possession he was confronted by Charles M'Very, a Democratic judge, and J. B. Simms, a member of the legislature, who told him that so far as they were con- cerned they were willing he should take the postoffice, as he was born and raised among them, but he had made himself very ob- noxious to the white people cf the parish by upholding Packard's thieving government before the senate committee. Chapman's account continues: " They said that so far as they were able they would protect me, but added, ' there is no law that will protect you from a mob in case you attempt to take the office.' " He therefore asks the postmaster-g- M ral what course he shall pursue in the premises. The other case is that of a colored man named Durlo who was appointed postmaster at St. Francisville, West Feliciana parish, last December, and who reports not only that he is afraid of his life if he attempts to take possession of his office, but also that he has not received his commission, although the de- - has at different times sent three to Eartment at St. Francisville postoffice. all three have been returned by the post- master whom he is to supplant marked "not called for." In both of these cases represenations are made to the department by citizens whose pood standing is indorsed by Congressman Ellis to the effect that the new appointees are by reason of illiteracy, etc., unfit for the positions. The department will give a thorough investigation and due weight to all such charges, but not while its authority is set at defiance and possession is forcibly re- fused to the holders of its commissions. A special agent is therefore directed first to in- stall the new appointees in their offices, and afterward report whether they should be re- moved, but if the communities prevent a peaceable chang-- in the twf viliica ttiey will be temporarily abolished. telegraph" brevities.

Two Ladles Killed and Seventeen Per- sona Injured by the Wrecking of a Passenger Train. Scranton, Pa., June 2. The Republican, of this morning, has the following particulars of the wrecking of a train last night on the Lehigh Valley railroad. The first intimation the engineer haA- - 4U. ,jMit 4ka vlo-le- nt rocking of the train, and a few minutes later the first passenger cars mounted the for- ward truck on which it rested and was pre- cipitated down a canal embankment, dis- tance fifteen feet, together with three other coaches, all laden with passengers. The coupling broke, leaving the engine and one baggage car in safety on the track. Tho painful scene which followed baffies descrip- tion. A wail of anguish rent the air as the passengers dragged themselves from the debris of the wreck. The four cars were smashed to pieces, and many passengers were down in most excruciating positions. Mrs. Power, of Scranton, and Mrs. Hickey, of Tonawanda, were killed, and seventeen others severely injured, four of them fatally. Most of the injured are said to belong to Tona- wanda and vicinity. A miraculous escape is recorded in the case of Mrs. Cool, of West Pittston, who together with her three chil- dren, including a little one six months old. was among the passengers and passed through the wreck with only a few slight scratches. The scene of accident is midway between Laceyville and Wyalusing. Tho work of caring for the wounded was a trying and painful one owing to the distance they had to be removed. Assistance was rendered as promptly as possible, and everything done that could be accomplished to assuage the pain ol the passengers. THE COUXCIL. To be Held at Edinburgh in July Wext, Called for the Purpose of Forming a Federation Nashville Banner: The an council, which will meet in Edinburgh, Scot- land, on the second day of next July, is for the mere purpose of uniting closely the Pres- byterian churches, as they have had no bond of union hitherto. But as they hold sub- stantially the same creed, a strong feeling has arisen that they should know each other and for good parpbses. The first formal proposal and plan of a Presbyterian federation was unfolded in a paper by a prominent divine, re;id before a large ter- centenary meeting eommepioratiye of the Scottish reformation held in Philadelphia November 20, 1872. The language used was; "It has long been a favorite idea of mine that all the Presbyterian churches might be brought togetiiei a 5. council, at which each' of ttiti&i wjjjht be represented. Let it be understood that I do not proposo breaking up the separate churches of British and continental Europe, cr of this country. In pur general govern- ment and ia en? State governments we have St model to which ve juht look in settling the relations which the several churches might bear to the central church' organisa- tion. Some grand principles might be agreed upon ; let thf m be few and simple. Of course, tiiere must be a doctrinal basis. But this should not consist in a new creed or confes- sion. Let each church ii?U.hi its own stand- ards, and be admitted into the'uriiori only on condition that these embrace the cardinal truths of salvation. There must also be cer- tain principles of church order presupposed; such as the parity of ministers and govern- ment by representative inci!s in which ministers ana elders have a joint place. . But the mode of carrying out these principles must be left to each organization, in this way securing that we have in the church, as in nil the works of God, unity and variety " This paper was loudly cheered at the time and was afterward widely circulated. In May following, motions approving of tho ob- ject were earned in the general assemblies of he oreat Presbyterian church in America r irRh Jt resbvtenan church, in CM&foUowu, iiC helical Alliance met in New York, and a aid nicCting was held of persons holding reformed and Pres- byterian principles all over the world. The meeting was unofficial, but a provisional com- mittee there appointed addressed thirty-eig- ht churches, asking their countenance and con- currence, and a paper was drawn up explana- tory of the principles and aims of the move- ment. In the summer of 1874 meetings of friends were held in London, Belfast and Edin- burgh, and it was agreed to organize the whole scheme at a conventioa to be held in London in July, 1875. At this meeting there were deputies from twenty of the principal Presbyterian churchss throughout tlie world. The meeting lasted orJy three days, but during this brief period an agreement was come to as to the principles held in common by the churches, and a constitution was drawn out. It was agreed that the first council should be held in Edinburgh in July, 1876, but it had to be adjourned till the first week in July, 1877, in consequence of the Americans being so absorbed last year with their centennial.

The Softas Snbjected to Very Hard Trea- tmentThe Russians Defeated Again The 'cvr Roumanian Loan French Affairs. From .London. London, June 2. The Times Constan- tinople correspondent, having just returned from a close inspection of Varna, Rustchuck and Shumla, states that he cannot conscien- tiously report much in favor of the Turkish military authorities. The private soldiers are undoubtedly good and patient, but they are execrably fed, while the officers, with few striking exceptions, are not equally good. Abdul Kerim Pasha, the commander-in-chie- f, is old and in bad health. The troops are armed well, the cavalry especially so, and fairly horsed. The hospital arrangements are not worth mentioning, and there is much sickness and scurvy. The vegetable diet, lately issued at the instance of an English doctor, proved beneficial. Chloroform is greatly needed. Three-fourth- s of the officers are newly appointed, and have had no previ- ous training The general fault of the army is lack ot organization and Oriental slowness. Some of the officers, however, are most able and hard working. At Varna the Austrian General Stracker is working day and night. There is but one English officer m the army, and he is merely a captain of cavalry. A special from Berlin states that Russia refuses all applications of British officers to accompany the army as spectators. A telegram from Syria says discouragement exists in official circles in Constantinople, be- cause it is not known how a sufficient force can be collected to resist the Russian advance. The hopes that the capture of Souk gum would lead to insurrection in the Caucasus have now disappeared, the Circassians, fearing Russia, havinsr laid down their arms. Turkey is weak from material causes, which render it difficult to maintain a long resistance. From Constantinople. Constantinople, June 2 The recapture of Ardahan is not regarded here as certain. The various telegrams hitherto received have not emanated from the Turkish military commanders. More Softas have been arrested and sent to their native places to prevent disturbances in the capi'a'. Two thousand laborers have been employed to work upon the Stembone fortifications. Pfazlyl Pasha reporU from Sukumkaleh, under date of May 29th, that four battalions of troops with some Circassians defeated the Russians posted between Sukumkaleh and Kutais, capturing eight mounted guns and a quantity of ammunition. The Russians threw seventeen guns into the river Kodra and destroyed the bridge after them. It is officially announced that the reported capture of Ardahan is erroneous. Fom Bokarest.

MWBJJZCTSi FQRjrYJiCIlLAW They Kilter the House of Two Females and Compel the Inmates to Sat- isfy the JLusts of their Fiendish and Putrid Hearts. Special to the St. Louis Times Newark, N. J., May 30. On Thursday night three men went to the house of John Bollinger, a farmer residing near Round Brook creek, and asked for beer. Bollinger was absent in Newark, and only his wife and daughter were at home. On being refused, the men seized the two women; the daughter, however, escaped from the house, but the mother was several times outraged. Soon after the women met Bollinger returning from Newark, and with him came to the po- lice headquarters, and asked for officers to protect them from further violence, but none were sent. Last night two male friends vol- unteered to stay with them for protection. At ten o'clock this morning the door was broken open with an ax, and seven men en- tered, and with knives and pistols forced the males into a bedroom. They then took the women from under a bed, where they had hid themselves, and four of the men took the mother into a room, while three other men seized the daughter, whom they carried to the woods. Both were ravished many times in succession. Bollinger managed to escape from the house, and made his way to police headquarters, when a squad of officers were sent to the scene. The three men with the girl were surprised in the woods, two being captured, tbe other making his escape. The prisoners, WilUam Cavanaugh and Owen Jillen, are both young men. The police are on the track of the others. THE L.AST SIIIPWIlECli. Additional Particulars Concerning the Wreck of the City or San Pran-- " Cisco. Hetalled by Passengers on the Ill-Fate- d Vessel. San Francisco, June 2. Captain Wad-de- ll and Puieier Jerome, of the steamshin City of San Francisco, and Moses li'.' Sar gent, 01 Boston, and ivingsland Button, ot New York, passengers, arrived bv train to day from San Diego. The San Francisco evening papers publish interviews, giving further particulars of the disaster. The captain and purser are unwilling to make statements until the former has sub- mitted his report to the asrents. The conmanv officers avoid giving theories concerning the rock on which the ship struck. The passen gers say aeep water was ail around it. Thp Mexican gunboat officers say they knew noth- ing of it. Before the shock when the shiu struck there was about thirty seconds dura- tion; in a .few minutes after striking the boats were cleared away without confusion, and the passengers in them ready for foctng; a full head of steam was put ont the' ship grounding about four milea , r. i xi T L : 1 T X Al irom snore, wnen tne ooats were instantly lowered and pulled for the beach. On land- ing, out of nine boats, only one escaped up- setting. The surf was combing twelve or fifteen feet big'b. and when it struck the boats, it came with, such force tht the occu- pants were hurled ten or fifteen feet; babes were thrown from the arms of tlieir mothers: even garments and iewelry were wrenched from them by the waves. When the first boat touched the shore, those in it threw out a rope and ranared themselves in line to help the next comers; and this system of rendering assist ance was followed until every soul was sale life"was extinct, aZ ifc took some time to restore it to vitality. One of tne 22? was caught undrr the boat and held there for some time; but, when the next swell of the sea raised the craft, she managed to escape. There was no time for delicate handling, the men knowing that the safety of their lives de- pended on vigorous action, and they handled the children as they would so many bags of sand. In attempting to launch a boat to return to the wreck, the assistant engineer had a leg broken. Captain Waddell was the the last to leave the ship, at five o'clock in the evening. Only about fifteen feet of the vessel then remained above water, the waves washing over her and knocking her to pieces. He, with thirty-fiv- e otheis, came ashore on a hfe-raf- t, which went over the surf without capsizing. Captain Waddell reports that the cargo of the Acapulco, from New York, May 1st, was not from the City of San Francisco, except one package fast freight. A court of inquiry to take testimony on the loss of the the steamer will be held next week. A. Spanish Head-Bea- t. The Russian knaves "of hearts aro clever rogues, but the sharpest sharper on the con- tinent is a Spanish monk, Marquis de Yil-larasa- n, who has recently been condemned by one of the Paris tribunals to two years imprisonment for fraud in connection with a company known as tie Catholic Federation, tho professed object of which was to enroll workmen beneath the banner of the cross, by inducing them to join in various commercial undertakings of which he was the promoter. Among these undertakings, says the Pall Mall Gazette, were a Catholic laundry, sev- eral stores, and a savings bank. Another enterprise with which the marquis was associated was that of a railway from Jaffa to Jerusalem, the concession for which bad been obtained from the sultan, but, after passing through several hands, this company went into oanKrupicy witnous naving con- - Tucted the railway. In the course of the trial it was proved that the marquis, who as- serted that he had spent nearly lour hundred thousand dollars in good works, had arrived in Paris without a penny, and that he was glad to obtain the post ot beadle in a church in the suburbs. This was just after his re- turn from the north of Spain, whence he had been expelled by Don Carlos, who refused to accept him as an emissary from General Ca- brera. It was while holding the humble of- fice of beadle that he organized the Cathobc Federation ; and his efforts were so fiir sue cessful that the undertaking received the ap- probation of Comte de Ohatubord and of Car dinal Antonelli, and subscriptions flowed in freely. Nearly all the witnesses testified that they had been induced to invest their money with the marquis out of zeal tor the Catholic religion. MISSISSIPPI PRESS ASSOCIATION.

The spring meeting of the American jockey club opened to-da- y, the weather being fine and the track in good condition. The attendance. , was large. It was feared that the law passed by the last legislature forbidding pool selling would have a bad effect on the attendance and a depressing influence on the interest taken by those present in the several events. Nothing, however, of this was noticeable. The corner outside of the grand stand where pools were formerly sold presented a deserted appear- ance to the regular habitues, but book-maki- was brisk among betting men. First Race.

Senator Sargent Henles the Allega-- v tion and Henounees the Alligator San Francisco, June 2. The Bulletin, this afternoon, publishes an open letter from Senator Sargent relative to the alleged libels on him recently printed in the Chronicle. He says every statement therein reflecting on his integrity are false and unmitigated and falsehood and libel. He announces his inten- tion of confining preferring complaints before the grand juries of various counties in the State as soon as convened. He says he aims not at vengeance or prosecution, but punish- ment. The letter makes argument at length defending his mode of procedure, and claim- ing that the proprietors of the Chronicle are determined that there .shall be no trial if they an prevent it.

The outlook trom this point is not as promising as we an- ticipated a week or more ago. We need rain badly. Cotton has been scraped, cut to a stand (which is verv iroodl. shoveled, looks well, and is more promising, perhaps, than it uiiiiucBiuiieurae 111st year, "oorn is gooa; fair stand, and looks well; needs rain; large area sowed uus year, uerman millet-gras- s looks very fine. Wheat is promising, although the southern portion of Fayette will have a larger yield than last, by thirtv-thre- e and one-thir- d per cent. Our best uplands will pro- duce this year twenty-fiv- e bushels wheat per acre. There is very little smut. The past three or four weeks has been too dry for oats; the red winter, sowed in the fall, is very fine; there wdl be a better yield, by twenty-fiv- e per cent., over last year. The prospects for this and adjoining counties aro promising. Prosperity again is disposed to smile pro- pitiously upon us. Our peach and apple crop is very promising. If there is no blight, great quantities of peaches (Hale's early and other varieties) will oe shipped from this coun- ty. For the first time in fifteen years Fayette county ia g; perhaps over a mil- lion pounds of meat to spare over and above home consumption. Planters have improved their stock of every kind; the best quality of cattle, hogs, horses, mules, goats, poultry; the cross of Durham and Aryshire cattle are very fine milkers and fine beef cattle. The Berkshire and Essex hogs give general satis- faction; hogs fourteen months old average about two hundred and seventy-fiv- e pounds, and are kept fat on from three to five ears of corn per day. Let the eyes of the people be opened to the importance of these tilings, and ere long the traveler can but say that Tennessee, especially West Tennessee, is the finest country extant, and stop this emigra- tion west. Our people will become contented when they find our resources are being fully developed. At Moscow, situated within a stones throw, we have, perhaps, the best water- -mill in the State, located on the North Fork of Wolf river; can make forty pounds of first quality flour from one bushel of wheat. Best meal made out of the Baden corn none better selling (until recently) at fifty cents per bushel. Very soon flour can be sold here for three and three and a half cents per pound. Try it. All along the line of Wolf river and its tributaries those fond of angling are building fish pools or ponds that are prov- ing a success. These pools are fed from never ceasing springs of fresh water; sev- eral are built near Moscow. Captains L. S. Davis and R. W. Wheeler, of that place, drained a larere slouch, for two Dumoses. to catch fish and take the dead water from their nsh pools, to say nothing of the sanitary con- dition of the town. orville. TIIK 3IUK1ER OF XATIIAN. Detective Porter, of Sew York, Insists that he ean In ravel the Mystery than hangs about the Oreat Crime. New York Sun: "I will Droduce." said Secret-Servic- e Detective John Porter, ''the meerschaum pipe, tobacco-bo- x and watch taken from Mr. Bejamin Nathan immediately after the murder, and affidavits clearly setting forth the cause of the murder, and by whom planned and executed." This assertion was made a few days ago in a rendezvous of secret-servic- e detectives in the Bowery. "Cale Gunnion, Johnny Irving, and Billy Forrester were brought by Kelly, the housekeeper's son, into a plan to rob iuii AiauiMU a DOic, laic UCICLUVC UUUCU. " Mr. Nathan was very regular in his habits. He returned home invariably between eleven and twelve o'clock at night. Before going to bed he always smoked his meershaum pipe, wound np his watch, which he put on a night-tabl- e at his bedside, as also bis tobacco-bo- x. Young Kelly found the men above mentioned and admitted them to the house. Mr. Nathan returned home, called Kelly to his room, and cave him Grders for the fol lowing morning. He closed the door, and retired, as it was thought, to bed. At one o'clock in the morning, Kelly entered his room and found him sleeping. He then ad- mitted Cale Gunnion and John Irving, Billy Forrester being left outside the houae, to give warning in case cf danger. It was while Cale Gunnion was trying to force the safe open with the dog that Mr. Nathan roused from his sleep. Seeing Kelly, he asked him what he was doing there. Before Kelly could reply, Cale Gunnion sprang up, with the intention of running away, when Mr. Nathan grappled with him. Gunnion struck him on the head with the dog, and, as Mr. Nathan staeErered out of the room. Gun. nion struck him again, killing him." Detect- ive Porter said that he could procure affidavits corroborating this story, and that Cale Gunnion had repeatedly expressed regret at the killing. " Gunnion is in the Albany peni- tentiary, having twenty years to serve; Irv- ing and Forrester are in Sina- - Siny. and Kellv is in Auburn. The detective, last evening, re- iterated his assertion that he could produce the watch, box and pipe, and, if further evi- dence was needed, obtain confessions from n.euy ana ijunmon. THE KEMPER TRAGEDY. Letter from Governor Stone He Claims that the Affair has been Wrossly .Misrepresented, and the Hanger Exaggerated. Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer. Washington. Mav 31. After the details of the Cbisholm (MississiDDil tras-ed- were telegraphed, north, Jerome A. Johnson. 5, prominent colored politician in this cjty" wrote to Governor tciie to ascertain if the general press disDatches cave a trn TOrtinn of the affair. The letter evoked the follow- ing reply from Governor Stone, dated Jack- son, May ISth : Dear Sir Your letter of the fifteenth in stant was received by to-da- mail, I wish that a larger number of your people were willing to hear both sides before condemning. Since the recent unfortunate occurrence m Kemper county, April 29th, there has been no outbreak in that county, nor any demonstra- tions toward violence, nor any well-found- arDrehensions of tronblp. T of trouble as soon as report of it reached me. ana remained mere a part 01 two days. 1 made a full investigation, and freely with the family of Judge Chisholm. I afterward visited the judge of the district, who was at the time holding court in Colum- bus, and obtained his promise to hold a spe- cial term of the circuit court, with a view to a full judicial investigation. I returned to Jackson on the seventh instant, leav ing every thing quiet m Kem per, and assured by citizens and officers that there was not the slightest danarer of further trouble. I started to Natchez on the eighth, but left Natchez on the next night, and by the first boat, having received the telegram of Captain M. Shaugbnessy, which has been published in the northern journals. I did not believe the fears expressed in his tele- gram were well founded, but I desired to do all in my power to convince any reasonable person that there was no cause of apprehen- sion. I had just left Kemper county, and knew better than Captain Shausrhnessv the condition of affairs there. Ten days had elapsed since the attack on the jail, and everything was quiet. It was not true that Judge Chisholm and his family were in danger from any mob. An early judicial investigation was promised, and I was not widing, in order to silence the clam- ors of any one, to permit the invasion of the county by a body of armed men, and thus give sanction to a violation of law. As Cap- tain Shaughnessy's "volunteering the neces- sary force to protect the widow and her fami-lv- " was matin ten da vs after the attack on the jail, when everything was quiet, and as eight days have since elapsed, and quiet still prevailsl should say: "The reports herald- ed through the north," based solely upon his telegram, "are rather highly colored.' . It is not true that Mrs. Chisholm and her hus- band were in danger of assassination while the latter was lying wounded at home; it is not true that her residence was guarded by a mob day and night; that they swore to take her husband's life, and that she was not allowed egress or ingress without a pass from the head of a mob. Ko due jus- tifies the act by vhic'u Judge Chisholm lost his life. Eveiything that is possible sha1! be done to arrest and runish the guilty parties. I do not hope to silence the misrepresenta- tions of n;ea who are making political capi- tal out of the unfortunata attair. The south has been too long the victim ot misrepresent- ation for your people to become willing sud- denly to hear both sides before condemning. The recent telegrams and articles that have appeared in northern papers are based solely upon my refusal to consent to an invasion of Kemper county by a body of men from other counties. The folly of consenting to such a proposition when no trouble was apnrgQjgj must be apparent to everj feasonableerson.

New York, June 2. George H. Wolff & Co., dry goods jobbers at 715 Worth street, and at Cincinnati, failed to-da- y. Their lia- bilities amount to four hundred and fifty thousand dollars, nearly all of which is due here. Their merchandise debts amount to one hundred thousand dollars, while they owe the banks for discount nearly three hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The creditors to- day appointed Messrs. Page, Hobart, Noyea, Statesburg, Bliss and Taylor a committee to look after their interest, and in the after- noon Statesburg started for Cincinnati to ex- amine the accounts and appraise the assets in order to get at a basis for settlement. The assets are nominally larger than the liabili- ties, but their real value is not known. It is thought that the settlement will be at about sixty-fiv- e cents ou the dollar. The.failure is said to be on account of old embarrassments. DIED. DOLUS Yesterday, at his residence, 495 street, at 12 o'clock, and In the 60th year ot his age, Mr. Henrt C. Doll is.

Agcsta, relict of Captain G. M. Margart, of Hardy, Grenada county, Mississippi. .Never has nas ed from the clasn of mournlner friends one whose faith with meekness could con- template brighter visions of glory awaiting the Christian on Eden's blissful shore. Her womanly and Christian excellence was well known. Through a short and painful attack of nine's a complaint was never heard from her Hps. Patiently every pang was endured, with a calm resignation and submissive spirit. How sad to think sucn a Deautirui me as hers full of rare Christian virtues, humility, un selfishness, and consecration to Christ, with useful ness as a member of His church has closed on earth. To the welfare of the poor she ministered with unwavering tenderness and devotion. In the social circle she was beloved by all who knew her. The latch-strin- g was ever on the outside of the man slon over which she presided, with a fond husband whose tastes were similar, and with her knew no limit to kindness of heart and generosity when en- tertaining their guests. We believe she has entered into that rest which remalneth for the people of God. with a certain hope of everlasting life through our Lord Jesus Christ, and that, with the loving ap preciation ana sorrow 01 menus, must te a consola- tion to the weeping husband. In the merits of her loving Savior she trusted, and while the deeply felt loss Is bis, her's is Joy and peace forevermore.

Tiik niound-builjin- g dampliool has madehis appearance in Utah, and is dealing outmarreloui tale.

The Lagrange Monitor ia dead, the editor,our venerable friend Y. W. Gates, baring de-

termined to return to Jackson and there startanother paper.

The State Press association will meet atCLuksville on the twenty-fir- st instant. Mrs.Brinphurst, tiee Nettie 1. Houston, of Texas,will be the poet cf an occasion which there isno room to doubt will bo most profitable andenjoyable.

Tiik strawberries shipped from GacUdenstation this year brought eighteen thousandfour hundred and twenty-fiv- e dollars. Ap-

pearances now indicate that the peach-cro- p

will be equally remunerative. That suits us.

Tiik Lagrange Monitor thinks Hon. J. D.C. Atkins the mxst suitable man for speakerof the nest house. He is a warm friend ofthe Texas Pacific railroad, and we hope, says

the Monitor, the position of speaker will betendered him.

The Milan Exchange is in favor of holdinga rousing mass -- meeting in Trenton on thefirst Monday in July, in order to get the sen-

timent of the people in regard to the Statedebt, so that they can instruct their repre-sentatives what to do.

Give us, says tho Indianapolis Journal,the great southern railroad to California, andmanufactories of our staples in the Missis-

sippi valley and on the Pacific coast, and wewill command a large share of the China,Japan and the East India trade within tenyears. This plan will help us out of debtmuch sooner than Secretary John Sherman'splan.

Tiik Huinloldt Herald is authority for thestateaienl that all the leading papers of theStiite have taken the position that the legisla-

ture should the governor call them in extrasession ought to accept the proposition ofthe holders of Tennessee securities to com-

INVESTIGATED.The postoffice department has sent a

special agent to Louisiana to take action re-garding two novel cases, in both of whichthe persons appointed to be postmasters areunable to get possession of their oihees. Itappears that Samuel Chapman, a coloredman, was commissioned last January as post-master of Clinton, an office in East Feliciar.aparish, worth about nine hundred dollars ayear. Under date of New Orleans, May 15th,he wrote to Postmaster-Gener- al Key, statingthat on account of the unsettled condition ofaffairs in the parish he made no attempt tooccupy the office until May 15th, and that inthe act of taking possession he was confrontedby Charles M'Very, a Democratic judge, andJ. B. Simms, a member of the legislature,who told him that so far as they were con-

cerned they were willing he should take thepostoffice, as he was born and raised amongthem, but he had made himself very ob-noxious to the white people cf the parish byupholding Packard's thieving governmentbefore the senate committee. Chapman'saccount continues: " They said that so far asthey were able they would protect me, butadded, ' there is no law that will protect youfrom a mob in case you attempt to take theoffice.' " He therefore asks the postmaster-g- M

ral what course he shall pursue in thepremises.

The other case is that of a colored mannamed Durlo who was appointed postmasterat St. Francisville, West Feliciana parish,last December, and who reports not only thathe is afraid of his life if he attempts to takepossession of his office, but also that he hasnot received his commission, although the de- -

has at different times sent three toEartment at St. Francisville postoffice.all three have been returned by the post-master whom he is to supplant marked "notcalled for."

In both of these cases represenations aremade to the department by citizens whosepood standing is indorsed by CongressmanEllis to the effect that the new appointees areby reason of illiteracy, etc., unfit for thepositions. The department will give athorough investigation and due weight to allsuch charges, but not while its authority isset at defiance and possession is forcibly re-fused to the holders of its commissions. Aspecial agent is therefore directed first to in-stall the new appointees in their offices, andafterward report whether they should be re-moved, but if the communities prevent apeaceable chang-- in the twf viliica ttieywill be temporarily abolished.

rocking of the train, and a few minuteslater the first passenger cars mounted the for-ward truck on which it rested and was pre-cipitated down a canal embankment, dis-tance fifteen feet, together with three othercoaches, all laden with passengers. Thecoupling broke, leaving the engine and onebaggage car in safety on the track. Thopainful scene which followed baffies descrip-tion. A wail of anguish rent the air as thepassengers dragged themselves from thedebris of the wreck. The four cars weresmashed to pieces, and many passengerswere down in most excruciating positions.Mrs. Power, of Scranton, and Mrs. Hickey, ofTonawanda, were killed, and seventeen othersseverely injured, four of them fatally. Mostof the injured are said to belong to Tona-wanda and vicinity. A miraculous escape isrecorded in the case of Mrs. Cool, of WestPittston, who together with her three chil-dren, including a little one six months old.was among the passengers and passedthrough the wreck with only a few slightscratches. The scene of accident is midwaybetween Laceyville and Wyalusing. Thowork of caring for the wounded was a tryingand painful one owing to the distance theyhad to be removed. Assistance was renderedas promptly as possible, and everything donethat could be accomplished to assuage thepain ol the passengers.

THE COUXCIL.

To be Held at Edinburgh in July Wext,Called for the Purpose of Forming

a Federation

Nashville Banner: The an

council, which will meet in Edinburgh, Scot-land, on the second day of next July, is forthe mere purpose of uniting closely the Pres-byterian churches, as they have had no bondof union hitherto. But as they hold sub-stantially the same creed, a strong feelinghas arisen that they should know each otherand for good parpbses. The firstformal proposal and plan of a Presbyterianfederation was unfolded in a paper by aprominent divine, re;id before a large ter-centenary meeting eommepioratiye of theScottish reformation held in PhiladelphiaNovember 20, 1872. The language used was;

"It has long been a favorite idea of minethat all the Presbyterian churches might bebrought togetiiei a 5.council, at which each' of ttiti&i wjjjht berepresented. Let it be understood that I donot proposo breaking up the separatechurches of British and continental Europe,cr of this country. In pur general govern-ment and ia en? State governments we haveSt model to which ve juht look in settlingthe relations which the several churchesmight bear to the central church' organisa-tion. Some grand principles might be agreedupon ; let thfm be few and simple. Of course,tiiere must be a doctrinal basis. But thisshould not consist in a new creed or confes-sion. Let each church ii?U.hi its own stand-ards, and be admitted into the'uriiori only oncondition that these embrace the cardinaltruths of salvation. There must also be cer-

tain principles of church order presupposed;such as the parity of ministers and govern-ment by representative inci!s in whichministers ana elders have a joint place. . Butthe mode of carrying out these principlesmust be left to each organization, in this waysecuring that we have in the church, as innil the works of God, unity and variety "

This paper was loudly cheered at the timeand was afterward widely circulated. InMay following, motions approving of tho ob-

ject were earned in the general assemblies ofhe oreat Presbyterian church in Americar irRh Jt resbvtenan church, inCM&foUowu, iiC helical Alliancemet in New York, and a aid nicCting washeld of persons holding reformed and Pres-byterian principles all over the world. Themeeting was unofficial, but a provisional com-

mittee there appointed addressed thirty-eig- ht

churches, asking their countenance and con-currence, and a paper was drawn up explana-tory of the principles and aims of the move-ment. In the summer of 1874 meetings offriends were held in London, Belfast and Edin-burgh, and it was agreed to organize thewhole scheme at a conventioa to be held inLondon in July, 1875. At this meeting therewere deputies from twenty of the principalPresbyterian churchss throughout tlie world.The meeting lasted orJy three days, butduring this brief period an agreement wascome to as to the principles held in commonby the churches, and a constitution wasdrawn out. It was agreed that the firstcouncil should be held in Edinburgh in July,1876, but it had to be adjourned till the firstweek in July, 1877, in consequence of theAmericans being so absorbed last year withtheir centennial.Xon-Unlo- n Sloulders Shot by Striker.

From .London.London, June 2. The Times Constan-

tinople correspondent, having just returnedfrom a close inspection of Varna, Rustchuckand Shumla, states that he cannot conscien-tiously report much in favor of the Turkishmilitary authorities. The private soldiers areundoubtedly good and patient, but they areexecrably fed, while the officers, with fewstriking exceptions, are not equally good.Abdul Kerim Pasha, the commander-in-chie- f,

is old and in bad health. The troopsare armed well, the cavalry especially so, andfairly horsed. The hospital arrangements arenot worth mentioning, and there is muchsickness and scurvy. The vegetable diet,lately issued at the instance of an Englishdoctor, proved beneficial. Chloroform isgreatly needed. Three-fourth- s of the officersare newly appointed, and have had no previ-ous training The general fault of the armyis lack ot organization and Oriental slowness.Some of the officers, however, are most ableand hard working. At Varna the AustrianGeneral Stracker is working day and night.There is but one English officer m the army,and he is merely a captain of cavalry.

A special from Berlin states that Russiarefuses all applications of British officers toaccompany the army as spectators.

A telegram from Syria says discouragementexists in official circles in Constantinople, be-cause it is not known how a sufficient forcecan be collected to resist the Russian advance.The hopes that the capture of Souk gum wouldlead to insurrection in the Caucasus have nowdisappeared, the Circassians, fearing Russia,havinsr laid down their arms. Turkey isweak from material causes, which render itdifficult to maintain a long resistance.

From Constantinople.Constantinople, June 2 The recapture

of Ardahan is not regarded here as certain.The various telegrams hitherto received havenot emanated from the Turkish militarycommanders.

More Softas have been arrested and sent totheir native places to prevent disturbances inthe capi'a'.

Two thousand laborers have been employedto work upon the Stembone fortifications.

Pfazlyl Pasha reporU from Sukumkaleh,under date of May 29th, that four battalionsof troops with some Circassians defeated theRussians posted between Sukumkaleh andKutais, capturing eight mounted guns and aquantity of ammunition. The Russiansthrew seventeen guns into the river Kodraand destroyed the bridge after them.

It is officially announced that the reportedcapture of Ardahan is erroneous.

Special to the St. Louis TimesNewark, N. J., May 30. On Thursday

night three men went to the house of JohnBollinger, a farmer residing near RoundBrook creek, and asked for beer. Bollingerwas absent in Newark, and only his wife anddaughter were at home. On being refused,the men seized the two women; the daughter,however, escaped from the house, but themother was several times outraged. Soonafter the women met Bollinger returningfrom Newark, and with him came to the po-lice headquarters, and asked for officers toprotect them from further violence, but nonewere sent. Last night two male friends vol-

unteered to stay with them for protection.At ten o'clock this morning the door wasbroken open with an ax, and seven men en-tered, and with knives and pistols forced themales into a bedroom. They then took thewomen from under a bed, where they had hidthemselves, and four of the men took themother into a room, while three other menseized the daughter, whom they carried tothe woods. Both were ravished many timesin succession. Bollinger managed to escapefrom the house, and made his way to policeheadquarters, when a squad of officers weresent to the scene. The three men with thegirl were surprised in the woods, two beingcaptured, tbe other making his escape. Theprisoners, WilUam Cavanaugh and OwenJillen, are both young men.

San Francisco, June 2. Captain Wad-de- ll

and Puieier Jerome, of the steamshinCity of San Francisco, and Moses li'.' Sargent, 01 Boston, and ivingsland Button, otNew York, passengers, arrived bv train today from San Diego. The San Franciscoevening papers publish interviews,giving further particulars of the disaster.The captain and purser are unwilling tomake statements until the former has sub-mitted his report to the asrents. The conmanvofficers avoid giving theories concerning therock on which the ship struck. The passengers say aeep water was ail around it. ThpMexican gunboat officers say they knew noth-ing of it. Before the shock when the shiustruck there was about thirty seconds dura-tion; in a .few minutes after strikingthe boats were cleared away withoutconfusion, and the passengers in them readyfor foctng; a full head of steam was putont the' ship grounding about four milea,r. i xi T L : 1 T X Alirom snore, wnen tne ooats were instantlylowered and pulled for the beach. On land-ing, out of nine boats, only one escaped up-setting. The surf was combing twelve orfifteen feet big'b. and when it struck theboats, it came with, such force tht the occu-pants were hurled ten or fifteen feet;babes were thrown from the armsof tlieir mothers: even garments andiewelry were wrenched from themby the waves. When the first boat touchedthe shore, those in it threw out a rope andranared themselves in line to help the nextcomers; and this system of rendering assistance was followed until every soul was sale

life"was extinct, aZ ifc took some time torestore it to vitality. One of tne 22? wascaught undrr the boat and held there forsome time; but, when the next swell of thesea raised the craft, she managed to escape.There was no time for delicate handling, themen knowing that the safety of their lives de-

pended on vigorous action, and they handledthe children as they would so many bags ofsand. In attempting to launch a boat toreturn to the wreck, the assistant engineerhad a leg broken. Captain Waddell was thethe last to leave the ship, at five o'clock inthe evening. Only about fifteen feet of thevessel then remained above water, the waveswashing over her and knocking her to pieces.He, with thirty-fiv- e otheis, came ashore ona hfe-raf- t, which went over the surf withoutcapsizing. Captain Waddell reports that thecargo of the Acapulco, from New York, May1st, was not from the City of San Francisco,except one package fast freight. A court ofinquiry to take testimony on the loss of thethe steamer will be held next week.

A. Spanish Head-Bea- t.

The Russian knaves "of hearts aro cleverrogues, but the sharpest sharper on the con-tinent is a Spanish monk, Marquis de Yil-larasa- n,

who has recently been condemnedby one of the Paris tribunals to two yearsimprisonment for fraud in connection with acompany known as tie Catholic Federation,tho professed object of which was to enrollworkmen beneath the banner of the cross, byinducing them to join in various commercialundertakings of which he was the promoter.Among these undertakings, says the PallMall Gazette, were a Catholic laundry, sev-eral stores, and a savings bank.Another enterprise with which the marquiswas associated was that of a railway fromJaffa to Jerusalem, the concession for whichbad been obtained from the sultan, but, after

passing through several hands, this companywent into oanKrupicy witnous naving con- -

Tucted the railway. In the course of thetrial it was proved that the marquis, who as-

serted that he had spent nearly lour hundredthousand dollars in good works, had arrivedin Paris without a penny, and that he wasglad to obtain the post ot beadle in a churchin the suburbs. This was just after his re-turn from the north of Spain, whence he hadbeen expelled by Don Carlos, who refused toaccept him as an emissary from General Ca-

brera. It was while holding the humble of-fice of beadle that he organized the CathobcFederation ; and his efforts were so fiir suecessful that the undertaking received the ap-probation of Comte de Ohatubord and of Cardinal Antonelli, and subscriptions flowed infreely. Nearly all the witnesses testified thatthey had been induced to invest their moneywith the marquis out of zeal tor the Catholicreligion.

JEROME PARK SPRING MEETING.New York, June 2. The spring meeting

of the American jockey club opened to-da- y,

the weather being fine and the track in goodcondition. The attendance. , was large. Itwas feared that the law passed by the lastlegislature forbidding pool selling wouldhave a bad effect on the attendance and adepressing influence on the interest taken bythose present in the several events. Nothing,however, of this was noticeable. The corneroutside of the grand stand where pools wereformerly sold presented a deserted appear-ance to the regular habitues, but book-maki-

was brisk among betting men.First Race. The three-quart- er of a mile

dash was won by Jannet Norton, Parole sec-ond, Cyclone third. Time, 1:17. Parolewas largeiy the favorite and betting wastwenty-fiv- e to one against the winner.

this afternoon, publishes an open letter fromSenator Sargent relative to the alleged libelson him recently printed in the Chronicle. Hesays every statement therein reflecting on hisintegrity are false and unmitigated andfalsehood and libel. He announces his inten-tion of confining preferring complaints beforethe grand juries of various counties in theState as soon as convened. He says he aimsnot at vengeance or prosecution, but punish-ment.

Wheat is promising, althoughthe southern portion of Fayette will have alarger yield than last, by thirtv-thre- e and one-thir- d

per cent. Our best uplands will pro-duce this year twenty-fiv- e bushels wheat peracre. There is very little smut. The pastthree or four weeks has been too dry for oats;the red winter, sowed in the fall, is very fine;there wdl be a better yield, by twenty-fiv- e

per cent., over last year. The prospects forthis and adjoining counties aro promising.Prosperity again is disposed to smile pro-pitiously upon us. Our peach and apple cropis very promising. If there is no blight,great quantities of peaches (Hale's early andother varieties) will oe shipped from this coun-ty. For the first time in fifteen years Fayettecounty ia g; perhaps over a mil-lion pounds of meat to spare over and abovehome consumption. Planters have improvedtheir stock of every kind; the best quality ofcattle, hogs, horses, mules, goats, poultry;the cross of Durham and Aryshire cattle arevery fine milkers and fine beef cattle. TheBerkshire and Essex hogs give general satis-faction; hogs fourteen months old averageabout two hundred and seventy-fiv- e pounds,and are kept fat on from three to five ears ofcorn per day. Let the eyes of the people beopened to the importance of these tilings,and ere long the traveler can but say thatTennessee, especially West Tennessee, is thefinest country extant, and stop this emigra-tion west. Our people will become contentedwhen they find our resources are being fullydeveloped. At Moscow, situated within astones throw, we have, perhaps, the best water-

Very soon flour can be sold herefor three and three and a half cents perpound. Try it. All along the line of Wolfriver and its tributaries those fond of anglingare building fish pools or ponds that are prov-ing a success. These pools are fed fromnever ceasing springs of fresh water; sev-eral are built near Moscow. Captains L. S.Davis and R. W.

Detective Porter, of Sew York, Insiststhat he ean In ravel the Mystery

than hangs about the OreatCrime.

New York Sun: "I will Droduce." saidSecret-Servic- e Detective John Porter, ''themeerschaum pipe, tobacco-bo- x and watchtaken from Mr. Bejamin Nathan immediatelyafter the murder, and affidavits clearlysetting forth the cause of the murder, andby whom planned and executed." Thisassertion was made a few days ago in arendezvous of secret-servic- e detectives in theBowery. "Cale Gunnion, Johnny Irving,and Billy Forrester were brought by Kelly,the housekeeper's son, into a plan to robiuii AiauiMU a DOic, laic UCICLUVC UUUCU." Mr. Nathan was very regular in his habits.He returned home invariably between elevenand twelve o'clock at night. Before goingto bed he always smoked his meershaum pipe,wound np his watch, which he put on a night-tabl- e

at his bedside, as also bis tobacco-bo- x.

Young Kelly found the men above mentionedand admitted them to the house. Mr.Nathan returned home, called Kelly to hisroom, and cave him Grders for the following morning. He closed the door, andretired, as it was thought, to bed. At oneo'clock in the morning, Kelly entered hisroom and found him sleeping. He then ad-mitted Cale Gunnion and John Irving, BillyForrester being left outside the houae, togive warning in case cf danger. It waswhile Cale Gunnion was trying to force thesafe open with the dog that Mr. Nathanroused from his sleep. Seeing Kelly, heasked him what he was doing there. BeforeKelly could reply, Cale Gunnion sprang up,with the intention of running away, whenMr. Nathan grappled with him. Gunnionstruck him on the head with the dog, and, asMr. Nathan staeErered out of the room. Gun.nion struck him again, killing him." Detect-ive Porter said that he could procure affidavitscorroborating this story, and that CaleGunnion had repeatedly expressed regret atthe killing. " Gunnion is in the Albany peni-tentiary, having twenty years to serve; Irv-ing and Forrester are in Sina-- Siny. and Kellvis in Auburn. The detective, last evening, re-iterated his assertion that he could producethe watch, box and pipe, and, if further evi-dence was needed, obtain confessions fromn.euy ana ijunmon.

THE KEMPER TRAGEDY.Letter from Governor Stone He Claims

Johnson. 5,prominent colored politician in this cjty"wrote to Governor tciie to ascertain if thegeneral press disDatches cave a trn TOrtinnof the affair. The letter evoked the follow-ing reply from Governor Stone, dated Jack-son, May ISth :

Dear Sir Your letter of the fifteenth instant was received by to-da- mail, I wishthat a larger number of your people werewilling to hear both sides before condemning.Since the recent unfortunate occurrence mKemper county, April 29th, there has been nooutbreak in that county, nor any demonstra-tions toward violence, nor any well-found-

arDrehensions of tronblp. T

of trouble as soon as report of it reached me.ana remained mere a part 01 two days. 1made a full investigation, andfreely with the family of Judge Chisholm. Iafterward visited the judge of the district,who was at the time holding court in Colum-bus, and obtained his promise to hold a spe-cial term of the circuit court, with a viewto a full judicial investigation. I returnedto Jackson on the seventh instant, leaving every thing quiet m Kemper, and assured by citizens and officers thatthere was not the slightest danarer of furthertrouble. I started to Natchez on the eighth,but left Natchez on the next night, and bythe first boat, having received the telegramof Captain M. Shaugbnessy, which has beenpublished in the northern journals. I didnot believe the fears expressed in his tele-gram were well founded, but I desired to doall in my power to convince any reasonableperson that there was no cause of apprehen-sion. I had just left Kemper county, andknew better than Captain Shausrhnessv thecondition of affairs there. Ten days hadelapsed since the attack on the jail, andeverything was quiet. It was not true thatJudge Chisholm and his family werein danger from any mob. An early judicialinvestigation was promised, and I wasnot widing, in order to silence the clam-ors of any one, to permit the invasion of thecounty by a body of armed men, and thusgive sanction to a violation of law. As Cap-tain Shaughnessy's "volunteering the neces-sary force to protect the widow and her fami-lv- "

was matin ten da vs after the attack onthe jail, when everything was quiet, and aseight days have since elapsed, and quiet stillprevailsl should say: "The reports herald-ed through the north," based solely upon histelegram, "are rather highly colored.' . It isnot true that Mrs. Chisholm and her hus-

band were in danger of assassination whilethe latter was lying wounded at home; it isnot true that her residence was guarded by amob day and night; that they swore to takeher husband's life, and that she was notallowed egress or ingress without apass from the head of a mob. Ko due jus-tifies the act by vhic'u Judge Chisholm losthis life. Eveiything that is possible sha1! bedone to arrest and runish the guilty parties.I do not hope to silence the misrepresenta-tions of n;ea who are making political capi-tal out of the unfortunata attair. The southhas been too long the victim ot misrepresent-ation for your people to become willing sud-denly to hear both sides before condemning.The recent telegrams and articles that haveappeared in northern papers are based solelyupon my refusal to consent to an invasion ofKemper county by a body of men from othercounties. The folly of consenting to such aproposition when no trouble was apnrgQjgjmust be apparent to everj feasonableerson.

Failed for Xearly Half a mil Ion.New York, June 2. George H. Wolff &

Co., dry goods jobbers at 715 Worth street,and at Cincinnati, failed to-da- y. Their lia-bilities amount to four hundred and fiftythousand dollars, nearly all of which is duehere. Their merchandise debts amount toone hundred thousand dollars, while they owethe banks for discount nearly three hundredand fifty thousand dollars. The creditors to-day appointed Messrs. Page, Hobart, Noyea,Statesburg, Bliss and Taylor a committee tolook after their interest, and in the after-noon Statesburg started for Cincinnati to ex-amine the accounts and appraise the assetsin order to get at a basis for settlement. Theassets are nominally larger than the liabili-ties, but their real value is not known. It isthought that the settlement will be at aboutsixty-fiv- e cents ou the dollar. The.failure issaid to be on account of old embarrassments.

.Never has nas ed from the clasn of mournlnerfriends one whose faith with meekness could con-template brighter visions of glory awaiting theChristian on Eden's blissful shore. Her womanlyand Christian excellence was well known. Througha short and painful attack of nine's a complaintwas never heard from her Hps. Patiently every pangwas endured, with a calm resignation and submissivespirit. How sad to think sucn a Deautirui me ashers full of rare Christian virtues, humility, unselfishness, and consecration to Christ, with usefulness as a member of His church has closed onearth. To the welfare of the poor she ministeredwith unwavering tenderness and devotion. In thesocial circle she was beloved by all who knew her.The latch-strin-g was ever on the outside of the manslon over which she presided, with a fond husbandwhose tastes were similar, and with her knew nolimit to kindness of heart and generosity when en-tertaining their guests. We believe she has enteredinto that rest which remalneth for the people ofGod. with a certain hope of everlasting life throughour Lord Jesus Christ, and that, with the loving appreciation ana sorrow 01 menus, must te a consola-tion to the weeping husband. In the merits of herloving Savior she trusted, and while the deeply feltloss Is bis, her's is Joy and peace forevermore.
