A Georwian on the Marry. A most extraordinary matrimonial E sensation has recently excited Washiog. r ton oity. The hero is a man giving the t name of Wm, E.:Brodu, and rep're- e sgating himuself - to be a wealthy 0 Georgia pl~ater, possessed of :a mag- o nificent' plantation, stutely mansion, I &c., but impoverished 'by the war, t whose errand to that city was to dis,. 9 ipos6 of 400 aores of' the family estate 1 to raise wpeane wherewith to stock and I improve the erainder. This man a secured the afections or rather the 'l person of Miss May Carpenter, of d Vshington, by 'representing- his f wealth, broad acres, and'reputation as 1 particularly desirable, and- promising a to settle $10,000 on her in case of a I marriage. $hee6 aegotiations were I earefully kept 'froni the'eairs" of the 1 paternal head of. the family,' and even when the day of the marriage had i been arranged, he was still kept in 1g- 1i norance of the whole matter. - The plans had bei, carefully laid, and, 1 taking advantage of Mr. Carpenter's absence, the pseudo planter and Miss i May were joined in the holy bonds of a matrimony by the pastor of a; fash- 1 ionablo 9hurch not two aquares distant a from the residenoe. But two or three t persons witnessed the oeremonies; and 'immediately'upon their cnolu- 1 Mlon, trunk6 were hurriedly placed on' a hackin' waitipg,,the bride and bride- I groom, after farewell salutations and I a few foninine tears, entered the ve- I hicle, the impatient Jeihu slaa'nmed r the d or,' ad the ha y couple were t off for the sunny South. The father's indignation may be imagined when Ite learned the' truth in the evening from a young sister. To add to the confu sion, the lover of the fickle May, a young clerk in the War Department, who expected to marry the lady him- a self in the Fall, eatlied to see the ob jeot of his affection in the evening. Father and lover started furionely for A1oxand ria,where they intercepted the fugatives at the hotel. There was no t duel. The young lover did nt punch the head of his successful rival but there was 'simply a reconoiliation, on 4 the condition that Mr. Brown should establiih hit good reputation the next day. The party of four returned to Washington. '.The next morning I 'Browd gave - evasive answers. Mr. Carpenter suapected he was a, swin dier.. About noon, Mrs. Carpenter diso9rere4 that. a valuable velvet Ulilk, a heavy gold chain,'and a- gold 'pencil had been stolen from the house.

The Washington correspondent of he New York Herald, in icsponsible or the following : The White House is in a topsy-tur.. y condition just now, and the ser ants, in imitation of their master nd mistress, are taking a little re reation. W hen the President arriv d this moining his reception was ather cool and disheartening after he lionizing at Long Branch. About ight o'clock lie sallied forth, like an rdinary governmebt ulerk, in search f his breakfast. le was resolved to Atronize one of the faslionable es ablishinetis, probably with a view to etting a bien fa t that. would remind im in some degree of Long Bianch. I hauled up at Welker's, which is a bort distance from the White House. 'he President was on foot and was ressed as usual in a black slab-tailed rook coat and a tall, black stovepipe at. Going up the steps he looked in t the dining room, where a gentle aan was sitting at breakfast. Grant ad a bewildered air about him, as if Le h'ad got into the wrong ,hop. "Good morning, General," said the entleman at breakfast, recognizing im. Grant nodded mechanically, and ruttered something that sounded like Good morning," all the time keep ug his eyes at work, as if looking for place'to pit down. Finally he went p to the desk of the restaurant and coosted the genius who "takes your aoney." . Grat-"I want a private room, and reakfast as quick as possible." Peter (6yeing the General nrrow y, as if to measure the length of his iurs)-"You can't have a private 1oom here, sir. There's the dining 09m," pqinting to the room whore he gentleman already'mentioned was plietly, enjoying his beef-steak and loffee. The President looked confused and stonished at the idea of his not being onsidered good for his breakfast like .Uy other man. He at once turned nd beat a rapid retreat out of the iouse, evidently disgusted with his eception. When he had gone, the ;entleman in the dining-room called ?oter, and enquired if lie knew who. hat person was. Peter-"No sir," Gentlenman-"Peter, that is Presi Lent Grant." Peter-"The devil, you say." Gontleman-"Yes, indeed." Peter-"Why don't he come like a pentleman, in a carriage, and not like' 6n old shoemaker with his Sunday lothes on I How did I know he had noney enough to pay for a private 'oom and his breakfast " The gentleman who seems to have icared Grant out of the dining room, Lnd, per. consequence, out of his )reakfast, is a well known radical politician and author, who was the intimate friend of President Pierce Lhd Buchanan, and who has dined and breakfasted'- with some of the great men in his day. . A wag who was at hand suggeated that' hereafter rhen the President. is lying around oose in search of his breakfast he should have a label to his coat with he inscription "I am Grant, President; f 'the United States."

The Cocau Bank Robbery---A Man Ar rested in Portland, Me., Confesses to Being a Participant. The PortlaidI (Me.) JArgusof July 31 says: "Oar readers will remember the startling announcement in June last that the Ocoan Bank of New York,. situated on Greenwich' street, had boen robbed of near] all the contents of the vault-about . 2,000,000-and there was no clue to the perpetrators of the bold soheme. Detectives have since been at woik on the case, but no positive development had up to re cently been found to give any clue to the money. Detectives, it is said, traced tv ) of the conspirators east, and have made a' peetty thorou h search. On Thursday, Blake, .te detective who so succeessfully worked up the Auburn murder case last win ter, thus proving the old adage, 'set a rogue to oatch 'a roguei was arrested. "His story is silmlple and pretty cot' eise iu regard to the nietnurable rob bery. le sa lie passed through this city on the 7th of JunO o1 his way to New Yolk to join his pal , and after the robbery was committed -he left the next week to return to Portland. He says the party numibqred four or five that hired the basement under the bank and pretended to be insurance agents from Ohio. On the morning above mentioned, the features of the banking-room being familiar to the occupants, below, an eutrance to the same by boring with an auger through the intervening floor. Once within reach of the vault it seems that it was an easy matter for the professionals to pick the look, it not being one of the t safest, as was afterward established. The small safes within were easily blown open without attracting the attention of the night-watch, and their contents rifled. In their hurry they did not get a lot of gold ($30,000) and gild-bearing bonds) to about the same value). "After they got well clear of the building they found that they had with them $600,000 in certified cheeks and railroad bonds that were of no use to them, so they sacrificed a trunk they had, and left this in the trunk on Eilizabeth street, where it was re covered. He does not' speak of the routes taken by the sevoral confede rates, or where they ar-but thinks they are still in the country. He appears not to be very anxious about himself, and says that all will go right with him, and the money be has will find its owners all right, and volun teers to say that none of the preseut holders will be able to use the un lawful gains. Officers are coming to make his acquaintance. -'This story is good for what it is worth. The charge on which Biake was arrested is for the larceny of be tween $600 and $800 from the pro. prietor of the Arlington House, Ar lington, Mass. The facts in the latter case, we learn, are that Blake and his son were left in charge of the hotel, and he absconded with the money. The probable influence of the Chi nese on our politics affords, of course, matter for grave consideration. But does their arrival not promise an op portunity once more of proposing an educational test for the exercise of the suffrage', wvith a better chance of a favorable hearing than we have~ hith erto had. The Fenian who now thinks every niale has an "inalienable right" to vote without reference to the state of his intoelgonde, would probably support the exaction from the Chinese' voter of a knowledge of the English language and of the prin .oiples of this G overniment, and this might furnish the first step towards a formal recognition, applicable to all, of the absol1ute necessity of general education to the success of Democracy. .We notice as a 'favorable sign of the times that many of those who 'have during the -last' seven years been preac hinig, in tho 'interest 6f the be gra, the absolute sufficiency 'of mcr, instinct to enable a man to use the franchise both' for his own .interest I and that of'the coinmunity, are now~ accounting for' the hostility of the 1 .Democratic party to all social and political reform by the enornious amount of Ignorance in -ito ranks,4 which shows that the world moves.

They had a con veution in Newburyport on Wednes lay, lasting the day and evening, and % full attendance all the time. A otter was received from the chief ransceudeptalist of the old Bay State, a which hd says that he has too much work befofe him to take a hand in ehalf of woman's suffrage, though ie thinks t4e claim founded inequity, 11)d that ,although we cannot tell 'what precise form In practice it will nd ought to take, yet the snriousness kd thoughtfulness with which it is irged seem to me to mark an impor. ant step in oIvilization." Thelgita ion of the idea is enough for Emer. QN. Ita development into practice Is vith him a secoadary matter, and so ke is in no hurry to end the debate. In the.veteran campaigner for no roes' rights, however, the women of his.convention found a -man oompe. out to expound their rights and to ;ive his reasons for the faith that is a him. H offered a series of resolu ions to this end, in which it Is affirm d that the natural and inherunt rights f an human being are those of every ther, male or female ; that those who eride the claims of women contend or a sexual aristocracy, irrational and kjust; that in such sexual preten ions there is meanness and usurp a ion; that woman as well as man has he right to the highest physical and nental development ; that the pre ence that in granting equal rights to roman she will become less amiable nd refined and regardless of her luties as wife and mother, and all hat, is perfect'7 absurd ; that the ixoluiMon of wowan from her natural 'ights has been calamitous to the whole kuman race ; that so long as the most gnorant.and degraded men are freely dmitted to the ballot box it is pro )Osterous to pretend that women are ot as well qualified to vote;. that it a the coolest.assumption for man to laim the prerogative of determining he sphere of woman; that the com. non law, in giving to the husband the iustody of the wife's person, virtually )Iaces her on a level with. crinipals, unatles and idiots ; that oiii, present lemocracy is an absurdity, since it leprives woman even of the political )ower allowed her in Europe, &o, ko. ; all of which resolutions. were mthusiastically adopted, after a pun.

Just as the journey across the con :inent has been made brief by the )ompletion of the Paciflo Railroad, a iew enterprise has been undertaken ,o shorten the distance around it. Warshall 0. Roberts, of Now York, is it the head of a company incorporat id by the Vermont Legislature and iolding a grant from the Mexican levernment, for the building of a railroad across the Isthmus of Te. [auntepeo. The Atl: .ntio terminus of ,be proposed railroad is Minatitlan, a river town twenty miles from the Gulf )f Mexico, easily accessible to sea going steamers at all tides, from which point it will run due south to the Pa sifio, making that water at the port of Vrentosa, one hundred and sixty-two miles distant. The construction of the road does not involve many difli sulties, the extreme elevation being >ny 793 foot, and tea substantial ~russ bridges required. Mr. Roberta asa just sied . forfeitmere bond of 100,000 for the eonstruction, of a dar. iago road and a telegraph line along be route within eighteen montihs.

DISTuRBANCs IN CHEUTERFIF.I.D Div TRIc.-The Cheraw Democrat, of the 30th uIt., publishes the following ac count of a serious disturbance thati oocurred recently at Mount Croghan, In that District: We regret to have to report a se rious difleuty in our District at the recent to'wnnhaip election, but are glad to learn that our pople were not re spoDaible for it. keveral statements have reached us, but the following is -the best authenticated and seems most reasonable. - During the progress of the election a negro waiked up to Aroh'd Nichol son with demonstrations of fight, and told him ho was going to whip him. Nicholson immediately went for his rifle where he had deposited it, but it had boon removed. He then advanO ed with his- knife on the negro, who ran and was pursued. At last the no gro turned with a rail in his hand, and the fight began. While struggling with each other another negro came up and struck Nicholson on the back o the head with a gun, which put an end to that affair. John Nicholson, the brother of Archibald, had follow ed on to prevent the fight if possible, and made every effort to do so. He was struck In the forehead with a rook from some quarter not known, and while binding up his wound Archibald was there look ng on. The 'young men at the polls became exasperated at the conduot of these negroes, and drove them away, but did not inter. fare with thoe who took no p art in the fracas. Archibald Nichelson, on his way home, complained of his hurt which was not regarded as serious, and after ho reached home didtfrom its effectsI. Application was made to a megis* trate for a warrant to arrest the negro who had killed Nicholaon, but he re fused it.
