General Lee was accompanied 'bv several

During Mr. Arthur's administration
some difficulty arose in the war department
between Secretary Lincoln and j
General Sheridan as to the latter's authority,
Mr. Lincoln claiming that a
general officer in the army had no
power except that given by the President
or Secretary of War. On account
of General Sheridan's over-bearing disposition
Secretary Lincoln found it
necessary to tighten the reins, and as

Mr. Endicott has found it nccessary to
follow the example set by his predecessor,
and show the general that he is
at the head of the department. It is
said that the President will in a short
time, by a written communition, define
the power and authority of each, and
end the present conflict of authority.
The President on the 28lh of April
appointed Major D. F. Bradley to

was endorsed by the entire delegation
from this State, with the exception
of Senator Hampton, who has
since recommended him for the

received with entire satisfaction by
the people of the State. He ha^ discharged
faithfully ail duties which he

Bradley is a lawyer by profession, and

A special telegram to the Sunday
N~sics gives an account of another
shooting scrape in Lancaster county in
which Bartlett Sims shot W. R.
Robert?, it is feared fatally. There had
been some misunderstanding between
the two at a trial justice court, and
after leaving a dispute arose between
thera with the result above stated.
This is the third shooting scrape"-*^
Lancaster within the last two months,
and all on account of the ready pistol.
At the last term of Court at Lancaster,
if we are not mistaken, there were
three murder ca^es. 0:ilv two months
have elapsed since that time, and it
probable that there will be three more.
There is certainly something very
radically wrong in our sister j-,
which can only be remedied by cnrorcing
the law in reference to carrying
concealed weapons, and teaching men
by example that human life is too dear
to be los t by a petty difficulty in which
the ready pistol is used.
Evolution Xortli and South.
The position of the Rev. Dr. Woodrow
on the doctrine of evolution, has
caused no little comment from the
press of this and other States./
The New York Times sa^*:
The Rev. Dr. Woodrow, who was
compelled to resign his professorship
in a Southern Prepjyterian Theological
Seminary because he taught a moditied
doctrine ol evolution, is to be tried
iUl liV>i uo >
The South has been eminently conservative
in religions matters. Southern
ministers have, to a great extent,
ignored all schools of religious thought
that differ from that in which thev
have been educated. The Catholic
revival in the Episcopal Church,
which has made such great advances
in England ard in many dioceses in
our Northern States, has few adherents
in the South, where the bishops
are nearly all Low Churchmen, and
where the great majority of the laity
hoid "evangelical" theories. On the
other hand, rationalism is regarded
with horror in the South, and any ap^
proach toward liberalism among Southern
Presbyterians, Baptists and Methodists
is instantly repressed. In the
South a belief in the inspiration and
infallibility of every word of the Bible
and the literal truth of the Mosaic
nrr>rtnr>t r\f thp w'pnfinn fhonchl. to
V* v. c?? - I
be an essential part of the Christian J
creed, and all the results of Biblical!
criticism daring the last half century j
are treated as though they did not j
exist.
In the North a Presbyterian minister
could hold and teach the views held by
Dr. Wood row without incurring censure.
Dr. McCosh, the venerable head
of the chief Presbyterian college, and
perhaps the leading man in his~denomination,
lodg ago said that there was
rt' ,. yii _ I
no necessary conflict Deiween i^uristianity
and the hypothesis of evolution,
and no one dreams of accusing
KS
jahM^jfiag iJTmuiffliwnMHw
him of heresv. Dr. Woodrow has!
never given as unreserved ait apology
for evolution as. this, and yet he is to
be tried as a heretic.
The trial will he interesting, since it
will decide whether a nan can be at
once a Presbyterian and an euointionist.
The hypothesis of evolution has
been invented since the .invention of
Presbvterianism, and whatever may be
the opinions ot mclivKlnal southern
Presbyterians, evolution cannot be
decided to be a heresy unless it can be
shown to be clearly in conflict with the
Presbyterian confession of faith. The
fact that snch a trial could. not at this
day be held at the North shows in a
very striking way the difference between
the North and the South in their
respective attitudes toward modern
religious thought.
It would seem from this that there
is a considerable difference between the
North and the South in religious questions,
but whether in reality they are
farther advanced is a "question which

of the public. The following is a
clipping taken from the New York
Evening Post:
An explanatory statement, semiofficial
in character, has been put forth
iu reply to a paragrah of ours on the
political action of Mr. James M. Morgan
in the Presidential campaign. It
Ts affirmed that Mr. Morgan "has always
been a Democrat and was a supporter
of Cleveland." Our reply is
that Mr. Morgan spent most of the
/*onir?Qinrn noiMArl in Vfitr VAVL' rifp
VA*4Ur",o'-' AVS* A " . ?
and that he was, while there, openly
and notoriously a Blaine partisan, and
an earnest believer in the success of
the Republican ticket. Oar conclusion
upon the whole matter is that Mr.
Jatnes M. Morgan is a soldier of fortune,
of Democratic prepossessions, but
without fixed principles; that he became
convinced that Mr. Blaine would
be elected, and hastened to put himself
on that side of the fence; that
after Mr. Cleveland's election was ascertained
he had a recourse to a large
family connection in the South who
were irlad to co-operate in any plan
for biiletinsr him on the <rovernment.
and who naturally chose the utmost
parts of the earth for his official domicile.
An editorial in the Xeics and Courier
flatly denies that Mr. Morgan was
a Blainite in the last campaign. The
Evening Post says he was.' Who is
correct? Certainly there is enough of
evidence one way or the other to settle
the dispute. If in his pamphlet last
year Mr. Morgau shows himself a
i. i... ~ o
.L/euiuurabj \vu) auv 4115*1iuur
But the Evening Post is not the only
paper which says that Mr. Morgan
advocated Mr. Blaine's election last
fall. The correspondent of the New
York World from Washington has
something to say of the pamphlet written
by Mr. Morgan. It is said thatJJja
pamphlet was wrjittejLU^tJvSfrr&Iaine's
nomination, but the following quotation
from if goes to prove the fact that
he liacl^feen nominated and that he
a&tfcated his election:
Mr. Blaine has as exalted ideas of
the honor and sancitv of American
citizenship abroad as ever was entertained
of the honor and sancity of the
British name by Palmerston or Bea
consneid. Put :mt:-:Bhrnie~iTit?.--tbrcr
executive chair, and, ten to one,
Mexico will no longer violate the hospitality
and law of nations in the person
of inoffensive Americans. In the
days of President Blaine will be peace,
but peace with honor." .
Is not this conclnsive evidence that
Mr. Morgan, if not a Republican, at
least was an admirer of Blaine and an
advocatc of his election ? It certainly
seems so to us.
Wc fear Mr. Morgan is very much
like some of the government clerks at
Washington?a Blaineite before the
election, but a Clevelandite and a true
Democrat since.
(Gladstone's TriumphMr.
Gladstone, on the 27th of April,
brought up the subjcct of the vote of
a ; i _-c e.r.r Arvn ??1 .. u..
uieuii ui ^ouy\AJ\jy\AJ\j mjvcu iui u\ iut;
government on the army and navy
i &?count. The Premier supported his
position by one of the most powerful
speeches of his life, and the result was
that the House voted the entire amount
j asked for by the government.
Mr. Gladstone said in his spcech that
lie did not feel called upon to define
the degrees of danger of a war, but
that in the event of one ber Majesty's
government conld challenge the verdict
of civilized mankind whether or
not they had used every jast and honorable
effort to prevent the struggle
between these two great nations, the
result of which could only be bloodshed
and destruction.
The English Goverment secins inclined
to play quits in the Soudan, as
Mr. Gladstone said that nothing could
be gained by continuing the struggle,
as Englaud's possession of Khartoum
would not put a stop to the slave
trade, "and therefore it would be useless
to shed blood and treasure in the
Soudan."
In commenting upon the late strug
gle, in which the covenant between
England and Russia made 011 the 16th
of March bad been broken, he said:
England considered it the duty of
both countries to ascertain how the
calamity occurred. He would not anticipate
that the British were right. He
felt perfect confidence in the British
officers, but he would not assume that
they might not have been misled. He
i would not say that the Government
possessed all the facts in the case.
They possessed facts which created an
impression adverse to some of those
formed by the other party to the covenant,
but they would not deviate from
the strictest principles of justice by
anticipating anything of the ultimate
issue of a fair inquiry, which they are.
desirous of prosecuting. The cause of
the collision is perhaps doubtfnl, but
it is certain that the Russians were the
I attacking party, aud that the Afghans
snnercu in me, spim ana repine.
Knowing that a blow has been struck
at the credit and authority of our ally,
we are unable to close the book and to
' say we will not look into it any more.
We must do our best to have right
done in the matter. Therefore there
is cause for war preparations. He
hoped the House would not delay its
assent, which would only tend to propagate
there and elsewhere the opinion
that there was some indecision in the
mind of Parliament, whereas he believed
that one heart and sole purpose
animated them. He believed that
while reserving absolute liberty to
V
jndge the conduct of the Government
and to visit them with its consequences,
they would go forward to meet the
demands of justice and the call 01
honor and only subject to justice and
honor to labor for the purposes of
peace.
The speech of Mr. Gladstone is said
to be one of the finest efforts of his
life, and the English press is unceasing
in its praises. The Post, editorially,
says: "The fact that the war credit
was voted without any one venturing
a reply to Gladstone is "unprecedented
rliic nt* out? r*fhor /?nnnfrr
ing the situation from the standpoint
of this speech, war seems to be inevitable.
Already it is reported that there
has been a second engagement between
the forces. It is generally supposed
that some definite action will be taken
by the first of the month. Our whole
country awaits with deepest interest
the result of the difficulty.

suggestively, 'say 25,000.' Gen. Lee ,
said, 'ves, 25,000/ 1 went from the !
room at once and meeting Col. M. P.
Small, chief commissary of Gen. Ord's i
army, asked him if lie could spare me
three days' rations (I think it was three
days) of beef, salt and bread, for the
arinv of Northern Virginia, numbering
*25,000 men. He said, 'I guess I
can.' I was not at all certain he could
do'it, because we had been haviijg
some lively marching, and T doubted
if the provision trains and herd were
up witn xne. troops, out oraau was
equal to the emergency, and I told him
to issue the rations. You remember
we started back to City Point the
afternoon of the next day, April 10,
and I did not take much more interest
in the number of men constituting the
army of Northern Virginia. I have
since learned that the number of men
of that army was at time, officers and
men 26,115, divided as follows, viz:
Cavalry corps, officers 213, men 1,501;
artillery corps, officers 1,527, men 13,333:
Gordon's crows, officers 674. men
5,833. Total officers 2,951; total men
23,464. You may be certain that this
is correct. You may remember that
Fitz Lee went off with his cavalry and
Gen. Lee sent out after him to come in

JUDGE WYLIE'S COURAGE.
Anecdote of the Trial and Execution of I
Mrs. Surratt?Opposing the Country.
t_j ? ...i.. t i
ouugu AKurew o. u vnc uj. uic jl/istrict
of Columbia, who recently asked
that the President appoint his successor,
twenty years a^o distinguished |
himself as a bold and fearless judicial i
officer by performing an act-which 1
brought down upon his head the cen- i
of his political friends ,
*at the time.. It was <
pter the trial of the assassination con
suinuurs, wiieu mi uau uwti uuiivicteu .
and sentenced to be hanged, including ;
that ill-fated or unfortunate woman
and friend of John Wilkes Booth, Mrs. '
Mary D. Surralt. The latter's couu- ]
sel had resorted to every known I
method under the law and bv petition
to secure a commutation of Mrs. Sur- 1
ratt's sentence of death, but in vain.
As all must remember who read the 1
occurrences of that day, the conspira- <
tor had been tried by court martial, >
and even the counsel for the defence <
of Mrs. Surratt (Hon. Eeverdv John- 1
ston, of Maryland,) had been objected s
toby the prosecution. It was ncces- J
sary to resort to a desperate move in
order.to save Mrs; Surratt, or to even 1
have her life respited for a few days. 1
President Johnson was deaf. He even i
declined to give Mrs. Snrratt a desp.ite ]
for a day to prepare to meet her God. 1
Not "knowing whether a Judge <
woald be found who would dare do {
sncli a thing, yet Mrs. Surratt's coun- ]
sei, naving a swobs' case ana new evidence,
drew up a paper and presented ,
the tacts, and determined to pray for
a writ of habeas corpus. The crisis ^
was a desperate one. The counsel (
called at the residence of Judge Wylie j
at 2 o'clock on the morning set for {
Mrs. Surratt's execution. They rang (
the bell. Some one came to the front ]
window of the second story and gruffly (
demanded. "What is wanted?1' Judirc
Wylic, partly dressed, came down
stairs and admitted the two lawyers, 1
who stood trembling in his presence. j
He, the Judge, turned on the light in 1
the hall and looked at the document ]
they presented. Standing there under '
the'gas burner, Judge Wylie read the ]
document through without a word, 1
and then retired to a rear room for a i 1
minute. The counsel were in dread j(
saspense. They conld hear their i
hearts beat. Prejudice ran high in j T
"Washington, and it was not thought a l
Tn/1/*n AAI-IM Knf/mn/1 mlm nrAiil/1 iccnA 1 .

a writ of habeas corpus for Mrs. Surr^itt.
The Administration, President
Johnson; the Secretary of War, Mr.
Stanton; the Judge Advocate General,
an excited army and nary, and an
excited populace, demanded the han<r- j
ing of Mrs. Snrratt. Judge \Vylie
had not long been on the bench and
bad everything to lose and nothing to gain
by issning a writ. He returned *
to the counsel and said quietly, but 1
firmly: "Gentlemen, your points are ?
well taken." He signed a writ to ?
bring Mrs. Surratt before him that ^
mornino-. 3
After the writ was served President 1
Johnson suspended the writ of habeas ?
corpus.
"This act of Judge Wylie was one s
that places him in rhe character of one {
of the boldest and most upright Judges ]
of modern times," said a Washington f
lawyer in relating the incident. ~ . j ?

A PHENOMENAL CRIME.
The Strange Bobbery f a Train in Indiana.
Chicago, April 30.?The Louisville
express on the Louisville, New Albany
& Chicago Railroad, due here at eight
o'clock this morning, was robbed near
Harrodsburg, Ind., shortly before midnight.
"The express matter is usually carried
in a baggage car occupied by the
ine?senger and baggage-master. It
was as usual the first car on the train.
The messenger's name was George N.
Davis, of Loui>ville. Last night at
11.16 o'clock the train stopped four or
five minutes for water at Harrodsbr.rg,
Monroe county. J. II. Hamilton, a
passenger, happened to be looking out
of the window, and by the reflection of
the light from the engine saw a man
emerge apparently from under the
trucks and disappear in the direction
of the engine. He carried a club or
stick. When Smithville Hill station,
about two miles north of Ilerrodsbnrjr, I
- * 1 it. -t. - : ? x* tU a U~11
was reacnea, uie simrp ring ui uh; ucu
in the engine stopped the train, and
before an inquiry as to who pulled the
bell could be made the baggage-master
flung open the door of the smokingcar
and reeled in covered with blood.
He gasped out to the horrified passengers
that a robber had entered the
baggage car and shot him and the express
messenger, and then he fell unconscious.
Conductor Chamberlain
entered the baggage car and found
TVnric cfrAff hnrl in ft iinr>l nf Tilrtnd hv
the side of his safe, which had been
broken open and plundered. Everywhere
was evidence of a terrific strangle.
The floor was littered with paper
that the assassin had taken from
the safe, and heavy boxes stored in the
car were scattered around in confusion.
Davis, who was breathing, was
carried iuto the smoker, He had been
shot in the upper part of the head.
Webber, the baggage-master, afterwards
said that both' doors of the car
were open at Lfarrodsburg aud he and
Davis were asleep. Just after the
train got in motion >v eoocr was awakened
by a violent blo*.v on the head.
Staggering to his feet be saw a tall,
muscular man straggling with Davis.
The messenger was bespattered with
blood, which was gushing from a
wound in his head. He also had evidently
been struck with a club while
asleep. "Webber fell to the floor. Davis
managed to loosen his right hand and
draw his revolver, but before he could
fire the robber wrenched the weapon
from his grasp and fired. The ball
struck the messenger in the head
and he fell dying. When the safe had
been rifled the robber left the train as
it slowed up in answer to the bell.
Davis lived at Louisville and" was
twenty-two years old aud unmarried.
"Webber lives at New Albany, Iud., is
twenty-eight years old, married and
has several children."
MOKE ABOUT THOSE BONDS.
[From the Augusta Chronicle.)
Our esteemed ..Columbus contemporary
has critically examined the account
given by Mr. Gonzales of the
-"Confederate bond craze," and some
doubt is thrown upon the whole explanation.
Two facts appear in the
latest theory: First.' If Mr. Gonzales
can show the total amount of bonds
issued aud the rate at which they were
purchased, together with the actual
.amount paid ouLfejiiJb^m, he^yft?^trrfj
LiJtXi i<4UH5 Win uwiivv wjc vu> j/iausible
story. Second.' A searching investigation
by the United States Government
failed to disclose any such
conspiracy or scheming on the pari of
Mr. Benjamin; and it may be that his
friends will repudiate the whole affair,
as he might, if alive.
On second thought, we concur with
the suspicion of the Columbus Times
?i.:~ 1:1.?
LlliXV WHO div/l) J IJLJVC V/Uici iugc O LUCia*
phyiscal lecture, needs farther elucidation,
and it strikes as as an ingenious
afertbongbt,, cnnningly contrived
to avert detection of the history
of the case. Possibly the matter will
be sifted farther, aiid it would not
suprise us at all, though it is not so
charged, to find tliat the Confederate
bond speculation was really, as stated
in Richmond to the writer, a crafty
design of English barristers to settle
estates that had dwindled in l heir
hands. The poor old bonds of the
Confederacy offered convenient vouchers
to show, fictitiously but perfancto
rily, not how money really was lost by
investment, but bow it might hare
been. If this be trae; if indeed any
English lawyers have jnggled with
Confederate bonds to cover up delinquencies
of trust, let the world know
it. If Mr. Gonzalez's information be
"the truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth," let it be established be>
yond perad venture. The accomplished
and vigilant correspondent of the
News and Courier at Columbia has
faithfully delivered the message that
was given hi:n for publication. Let it
be scrutinized carefully and, if found
flawless, accepted. But if it be a misconception,
the people should know it.
Doubtless there are men in Richmond
who could simplify the whole mystery
if so disposed. We doubt however if
they, can be induced to testify, except
unaeroatn anaoeiore a quannea investigating1
tribunal.
General Grant's Illness.
"Follet," the JTew York correspondent
of the Sunday Phcenix, of Augusta,
has written a letter on General
Grant, which is very different from
what most of the newspapers are now
publishing. He calls General Grant's
present "sickness "A monumental
fraud," and says that the whole country
has been hoodwinked by the politicians.
After the politicians had discovered
that Blriue's Aug.nsta speech
had utterly- failed to creatc a reaction
against Cleveland, thev set their wits
to work for some other means of producing
this reaction. What would
serve this purpose better than "the
dying hero of Appomattox?" General
Grant commenced dying, when his
son, Col. Fred. Grant,' said to the
reporter: "We cannot deny to the
public that my father is a very sick
man." These scheming politician? had
no idea of Grant's dying, but wished
to work "the sympathy racket for all
that it was worth." The management
of the Grant testimonials, the placing
of the General on the retired list of the
army, and the trial of Fish, are being .
shaped by the practical party leaders
to the nomination of General Grant as
the Presidential candidate of the Republican
oartv in 1888. The next and
final move in the plan will be the trip
to California. Politicians hope that he
will travel leisurely through the country,
arousing enthusiasm all along- his
route, and on his return be received
with huzzas and open arras as the only
man who can resuscitate the Republican
party by uniting all its parts. The
old guard of 306 is expected to bob up
serenely in the next Republican Presi
dential Convention lor brrant.

A Fireman*# Wild Leap, As

was crossing the high trestle on
Crowder's creek last Wednesday, the
tender jumped the rails and the wheels ySS
bounced over the crossties for a distance
of 150 yards. None of the cars
left the track "and the train was finally
stopped without any damage having
been done to it, but the fireman waslying
on the rocks below the trestle
with his head crushed in. The fireman.
a eolored mail., at the first sisii j
of danger made a wild leap from the
cab and landed ou the rocky bed of the JB
creek below the trestle, striking.square- ' ^Qpi
ly on bis head. When the train hands
reached him he was found to be in a A
dying condition, with his skull badly
shattered. There was no hope of his
recovery. The accident was a remarkable
one, and the entire train had a
uarrow escape from being hurled from
the trestle to the ground below.
