Greeley and Amnesty.
The Bag? of Obappaqua, in all his
public utterances since his nomination,
whioh have been numerous and admiro
ble, has made amnesty tho grand theme
of his patriotic appeals. It is not BO
much tho un tuber of influentiol Southern
men, who are proscribed bj the denial
of A free and hearty amnesty, ngoinst
whioh Mr. Greeley inveighs; bnfc the
foot that even a partial discrimination
against certain men at the Sooth acta as
a thorn in the sides of tho people and
prevents that mutual good will and con?
fidence between the North and South,
upon whioh only a sound and lasting
anion of the States oau be based. Am?
nesty ia not now BO mnob in itself, bot
as a means of reconciliation it is a de?
sirable aot of justice to the South. The
men who are proscribed from holding
office are of the best and most prominent
of our citizens; and they have commit?
ted no crime against the Geuoral Go?
vernment in whioh the humblest con?
federate has not shared, and for which
lie ?B not partly responsible.
It is absnrd to assume, as many of oar
JNorthorn brethren, even intelligent ones,
do, that tho Sooth was forced into seces?
sion by a few bold, bod men, the "aluvu
oligarchy," and that the masses of the
?people were opposed to a disruption of
the Union. The desire for Southoru in?
dependence was moro universal by far at
the South than was the purpose to main?
tain the Union at the North. A people
were never before, and can never in the
future be, more unanimous upon any
subject, than were the people of the
South upon the question of secession.
As to the right of secession, we believe
wo i are in bounds when we say that it
waa absolutely unquestioned, and as to
the expediency and necessity of its im?
mediate exercise after the election of
Mr. Lincoln, there was but the slightest
difference of opinion.
We thought we had a right to secede
and that the time had arrived for its as?
sertion-and we made tho assertion.
Young aud old, men and women, rich
and poor, ignorant and educated, we
were all of one mind as nearly as it was
possible for 8,000,000 of people to be.
The singling out of certain leading
Southern men, however few in numbers,
as the marks of the nation's reproof and
condemnation, is a humiliation and
stinging affront to all our people, and
mnst inevitably be so regarded. It is
thus that a denial of amnesty creates ill
feeling and distrust between the sections,
and having such an effect is the chief
hindrance to that sincere re-union for
which only th ? better men of the North
spilled tboir blood nod spent their trea?
sure. Reconciliation should have pre?
ceded rcconstrnotion, for, if it had, many
of the Sonthern States would not to-day
be cursed with the iufamons govern?
ments whiob uncompromising sectional
hate, as represented by the present Fede?
ral Administration, has fastened upon
them. It cannot now bo delayed longer
with safety to the republic. A continu?
ance for four years more of erich a spirit
as has omanated from Washington since
1868, will leave tho South but slightly in
advance of Hay ti or San Domingo. ?
Nat tum lol Barnwell fur Solicitor.
We are pleased to seo that such a ca?
pable and reliablo man and lawyer as
Mr. Barnwell, has been nominated for
the responsible position of Solicitor of
our Circut, and particularly pleased that
he has boen put in nomination by Re?
publicans. If tho best and most intelli?
gent citizens wero allowed the untram?
melled privilege of selecting a Solicitor
for the Circuit, they could fix upon no
more excellent man. His fine legal at?
tainments, solid, sterling charaoter, ener?
getic business habits, and catholic, un?
partisan sentiments, all oombine to ren?
der him peculiarly adopted to fill suoh an
office.
It is a down-right ploasuro, in these
days of official corruption and doubtful
candidates, to have an opportunity of
supporting a nominee of genivine worth
and spotless character. We commend
Mr. Barnwell to the honest suffrages of
tho voters of oar Circuit, without re?
spect to race or political bias. He has
been acting Solicitor for months past, on
account of the feeble health of Mr.
Talley, and has given cntiro satisfaction
to all classes of our people.
He knows no. mau or party in tho dis?
charge of official duty, nud:it is his just,
impartial coarse, wo doubt not, which
hes prompted a number of oolorod men
and Republicans to pat bim forward as
a candidate. To the white peoplo in the
Fifth Circuit, there need no word of
commendation from as to seoare their
hearty support of Mr. Barnwell. Those
{Who may not know him, know of whom
he ie, and may feel assured he is a "chip
of the old block."

A FATED THRONE.-It is somewhat re?
markable that during tho last 200 years,
no King or Emperor was succocded by
his eon on the French throne. Louis
XIV followed his father, Louis XIII, on
the throne ia 1643. Ho was succeeded
by Philip of Orleans, his nephow, as
regent for Louis XV, a minor, great
grand-son of the great Louis. He again
was followed by his grand-son, Louis
XVI, who was guillotined. Next came
the republic and the first empire. Upon
the restoration, it was Louis XVIII,
brother of the murdered sixteenth, who
re-inaugurated legitimacy. He was suc?
ceeded by his brother, Charles X, and
ho again by his cousin, Louiu Phillipe.
Again republic and empire, but still no
father succeeded by his SOD.
TALE OF A MISER WHO LOVED IN A CAVE
ANO GOT RICH MININO LEAD.-A corres?
pondent says:
There is a shade of romanee connected
with another lead cave whioh I visited.
There poor old Tom Kelly lived and
died-poor, though rioh. Tom was an
uneducated Irishman, and when he had
discovered his oave, kept the faot to him?
self. Ho smelted his own ore and car?
ried his lead down to tho river bank,
secretly, until he had hidden in the bank
about $12,000 worth of lead. This ho
shipped and went with it down the river,
reshipping it nt Now Orieaus and going
with it to New York, where ho sold it,
takiug his pay in gold. Perhaps the
gold was bouvier than the lead. At all
events, poor Tom sat do wu with his mo?
ney bags to rest, and, as he waa a dirty
looking old follow, some boys collected
around him and commenced poking fun
at him. A great fear seized Tom-a fear
for his money bags. He snatched them
up and started to run for tho dock, where
his boat was lying. The boys followed,
hooting. Tom stumbled and fell. Ono
of the boys, ahead of the rest, came
upon him. Tom drew a knife aud stab
bod the boy through the heart. At the
trial which ensued, it was Bhown that
Tom Kelly was more than half crazed,
and he was acquitted, but kept in con?
finement as a lunatic. Here his instincts
as a miner stood him in goad stead; he
burrowed oat aud escapad. Before long,
Tom was at work in his mine again, but
he was now more secretive than ever.
He built himself a sterno house, where
each window was an embrasure, pointing
out of whioh was a fixed loaded musket,
and the only man who ever got enough
into Tom's confidence to examino tho
house, says that there waa also n fixed
musket enfilading the doorway. He told
this person that he was having au iron
house built for himself, that he thought
would bo more secure. In general, it
was bat little, and only to mere children,
that Tom ever spoke. And there came u
day, some two years ago, when Tom
found it necessary tu prepare to go to a
house where ho is likely to be perma?
nently safo. Two brothers, almost as
uncouth as Tom himself, came hoveriug
about tho dying man. Ho asked tho
priest to briug a lawyer; aud wueu thia
was effected, said: "If you will send
them out," pointing to the two brothers,
"I will tell all." But tho brothers would
not go out of the house, und Tom died
aa mute as he had lived. Application to
the proper authorities in New York re?
covered Tom's gold, which he had been
too much frightened to upply for after
his escape. Tho brothers left not one
stone of tho house upon another, and
they found about 320,000 in gold hidden
in and around it. Out of Tom's cave,
they took, in addition, it is believed, ore
to the value of not less than $100,000.
They divided their treasure as they
found gold or gold ore, by dealing out
coin or bills as if it were cards at poker,
one to each alternately. What is left of
Tom Kelly's real estate looks like tho
debris of an earthquake.
FOLLOWING FATHER HYACINTHE'S EX?
AMPLE.-Father Hyacinthe's example
will be followed, it would appear, by a
large number of French priests, who, the
Pairie states, are going to renou nco pub?
licly their vows of celibacy. Tho pub?
licity of the renunciation is tho chief
novelty connected with the marriage of
priests in France. The Paris Journal is
a supporter of the throne aud altar, and
held in favor at the Archiepiscopal paluce
behind Notre Dame. And ib says that
in the diocese of Paris alone the average
number of priests who marry is from
twenty to thirty in the year. It men?
tions that when tho Abbe Michaud an?
nounced to the Archbishop his intention
to take a wife he met with no opposition.
All that was said to him was, "Marry
hinco you most, but make no noise about
it." The Fronoh priests aspiring to
matrimony have great difficulty in per?
suading women of respectable rank to
ospouso them. There is (saya a Paris
correspondent) both a strong prejudice
against churchmen who break their vows
ot' colibucy, and a legal hindrance to their
gutting married. The nullity of a priest's
marriage was established a few years ago
in a celebrated suit in which Madame
Claude Viguou, tho accomplished Par?
liamentary correspondent of the Inde?
pendence Iielje, was plaintiff. This lady,
who has just become tho wife of M. Bou?
vier, a Marsellies deputy, had not much
trouble in putting away her first hus?
band, because he had been in holy orders
boforo she married him. Tho children
boru of tho marriage went to the mother,
for tho father was incompetent to give
them so muoh as the quasi legal status
of en/ants reconnus. Jules Favre exerted
all his eloquence on behalf of tho repu?
diated husband; but the tribunal boforo
which the case was brought ruled that
"marriage with the church precludes
civil matrimony." This jurisprudence
is a disgrace to French society. But it
is a fact whioh should not be overlooked
by ladies who fancy French priests.
Oue who knows says that German
worooa prefer the man who is agreeable
and keeps his word strictly. French
women chooso a man with open brow
and smiling countenance. Tho Bussinn
females prefer a countryman of their
own, who looks upon Western nations as
barbarians. The Danish women romain
closely at home, and desiro to hear no?
thing of travel abroad. Tho Spanish
woman selects a man capable of aveng?
ing his honor and her owu. The Hol?
lander ono who is peaceable in his ways,
and desires never to hear of strife and
war. And the American ladies marry
the earliest good offer they got, taking
tho first man who will take them, caring
nothing for his rank or social positioo,
and still less whether ho bo halt, lamo,
deaf and dumb or blind-if ho but hnvo
plenty of money. How fortunato for us
that we live in such a country!

NEW REXIOIOCS MOVEMENT.-Tho
Old Catholics are holdiug a oongrees at
Cologne. The occasion is a critical one,
and the futuro of tho new movement
depends very largely upon what it de?
cides to do. Dr. Doll i tiger is a learned,
wise and brave man, and has a respecta?
ble following. The under-ourreat of
German sympathy is unquestionably
with him, and a largo body of Italian
Catholics would probably join an organi?
zation that is at onco Catholic and free.
But just hero is the difficulty. Dr. Dol
linger blames Luther for quitting tho
church, and thus breaking the historic
continuity of its traditions. He evi?
dently inteuds to act the part of a Pro?
testant and reformer within the old
ecclesiasticism, lint his very act of re?
bellion against tho Papal authority ex?
communicates him. He is, to till intents
and purposes, as much of an outsider to?
day as Luther was when he nailed his
thesis to tho church door. The faot that
he still bolds to a great deal of the old
Catholic doctrine makes no difference, so
long as he denies the central authority
and refuses obedience thereto. The
difficulty of the new movement is en
hunced by the fact that those most inte?
rested in it are not sufficiently detached
from Roman dogmas and traditions to
comprehend the eutire situation, and ?
squarely meet the issues ?iud satisfy the
demand of tho new times. If they have
the courage to act, they lack the light to
seo what to do. If they organize, it will
bo ns a new sect outside of the old fold.
And if they turn their backs from Rome,
they must turn their faces toward rea?
son. Bnt how they can keep all the old
und got all the new, have a personal
Pope and obey only tho individual con?
science, follow the traditions of the
church and the decisions of che councils,
and yet be true to the revelations of
truth made through science and history
und art and experience tc-day, are ques?
tions which they find it very hard to au
Hwer to their own satisfaction, much less
that of anybody else.-Golden Agc.
THE NEW REFORM PLAN OF THE OLD
CATHODICS.-The congress of Old Catho?
lics in Cologue adopted resolutions, juHt
previous to the adjournment, favoring
compulsory civil marriage, the payment
of the clergy by the Stute, uud thc
restoration of churches to tho old Catho?
lic priesthood. This is a protty compre?
hensive programme. The session was
attended by a number of ladies. The
question of compulsory civil marriage
by the State being up for debate, this is
uot to be wondered at, particularly after
the success of Madame Hyacinthe in ob?
taining u husbaud in London. The
words, compulsory civil marriage by tho
State, possessed an attraction, no doubt;
for tho fair ones may have taken them
to mean that every woman shall bo pro?
vided with a helpmate by the govern?
ments, or that they themselves should
be married then and there, in Cologne,
to Jonie German officer, after the fashion
observed by Frederick the Great, who
compelled good-looking, adventurous
women to marry his soldiers nolens
volens, with the view of sustaining the
physical efficiencies of his armies. Then
the restoration of churches to the Old
Catholic priesthood-this smells of the
..fleshpots." A satirical, perhaps irreli?
gious, writer iu England said that thc
wealth aud church property of tho Ho?
rnau Catholic episcopacy tended vastly
to tho Protestant reformation. Tho
reason of the dispute, said he, was "tho
old woman had money and I had none."

THE GROUND BURNING UP.-Ono of
tho strangest of pheuomena of tho times
is reported to us from tho site of old
Port Pillow, sixty milos abovo this city.
It is no more or less than that tho bluff
bauk of the river, which rises fifty or
sixty feet abovo tho water level, is on
fire, and for tho past several weeks has
been steadily burning like a volcano for
a distance of several hundred yards along
the East side of the river, on a line ten
or twelve feet abovo tho water level. At
night a lurid flame or blaze of fire rises
from the sides of tho bluff to a height of
two or three feet, which then spreads
into smoko and pusses on over the sum?
mit of tho hill, distributing itself with
tho atmosphere and floating away sky?
ward. Tho steamer Coleste, on her lust
trip, passed by tho placo in broad day?
light, and at tho timo whon a light wind
biew from tho shore, can ymg the smoke
towards tho Arkansas shore and cover?
ing tho river with a thick hazo almost
liko fog. What strange combustible
formation composes tho river bluff of the
old fort, or what set it on fire, to burn
after thc fashion described, is ouo of tho
marvelous events of the times, and puz?
zles the vicinity no littlo. Wo shall seek
to be further informed upon this won?

mal passions of tho seusnous East;
skeptical in religion and false in politics,

A DEPUTY UNITED STATES MARSHAL
AND FEDERAL SOLDIERS BREAK UP A RE?
LIGIOUS MEETING.-A gentleman of re?
spectability, residing in Cleveland Conu
ty, N. C., writes as follows to the Wil?
mington Journal:
On Saturday, the 21st instant, a greut
outrage was perpetrated in this Couuty,
by officers and soldiers of the United
States Government. While tho King's
Mountain Baptist Association, a body
representing over 3,000 communicants,
was iu session at Bethlehem Church, ono
Newton Loug, a Deputy United States
Marshal, and one Archibald Moss, who
Heomed to havo somo authority from
Loug, rodu up, accompanied by a sqnad
of armed Uuited States soldiers, detailed
from Col. Hart's command in Lincoln
ton, surrounded the church, and forbade
the people to leave. Long and Moss
were both drnnk, and Long cursed very
freely. The proceedings of the Associa?
tion were completely broken up. The
pastor o' the church went out and en?
deavored to persuade them to leave, and
on their refusing to do so, the Sheriff of
tho County arrested Long for disturbing
a religious assembly. The soldiers cocked
their guua upon tho Sheriff, and com?
manded Long to oome out, Efforts were
made tb induce them to behave, and they
were promised that they would not be
arrested further for violating the laws of
tho State- and of the United States, if
they would leavo the church grounds.
They rode off in tho direction of the
spring, nod many members of the Asso?
ciation returned to the boneo, thinking
they were gone. But they soon return?
ed, and were galloping over tho church
grounds with their guns and pistols, and
broke up tho Association that oveniug.
When the people started homo they
found tho roads picketed by soldiers,
who were nuder Long's command, and
even women and children were arrested
with guns pointed at thom, and com?
pelled to await thu pleasure of this fel?
low Long before they could get home.
MOBS, I am informed by an eye-witness,
cocked his pistol at a young lady who
was driving off in o wagon, aud threaten?
ed to shoot her if she didn't stop at
once. Tho whole proceeding was an out?
rage upon religious liberty, perpetrated
by officers and soldiers of the Uuited
States Government. Tho excuse they
rendered for their conduct was that they
wero searching for one Mayberry, who
was charged with being a Ku Klux.
The Administration, fully realizing tho
fact that its fortunes are waning, has set
in operation a new force by which it is
expected that all the strong-minded
women, those thut are willing to wear
pantaloons and ride man-fashion, will
immediately go to work making speeches
for Grant. Highly important circulars
are being sent ont from Washington
marked confidential, and addressed to
female stump BpceuhiTyers, who are
called upon to form olnbs and work for
tho election of Grant. Ono of the tribe,
by tho name of Matilda Fletcher, has re?
sponded, and, to make herself as con?
spicuously ridiculous as possible, com?
menced Bending her harangues to the
four quarters of the country by tho Asso?

ADMIRAL O'KEIFFE, TUE NEWSDOY CA?
DET.-It will be remombored thut some
timo ago wo mentioned tho fact of this
boy's appointment from the lower orders
of New York to a cadetship in the Naval
Academy of Annapolis. It was offered
for competition among the public schools
of tho Fifth Congressional District, and
was wou by a poor newsboy, who earned
his scanty living by selling newspapers
in tho streets. O'Keiffe left New York
yesterday, for his futuro home at An?
napolis, und bears with him tho good
wishes of tho oity, inasmuch as his ap?
pointment and advancement will bo re?
garded as a test between democracy and
aristocracy. His course will be watched
by tho prosa and public of the great me?
tropolis. He is a bright and activo
young lad, aud, no doubt, has a brilliant
future beforo him.
A DISABLING DISEASE.-No disease
which does not confino a man to his bed
so completely unfits him for business as
dyspepsia. When the stomach is foul,
the brain is alwayt i/>.uddy and cuufused,
aud as the cares und anxieties of life are
a sufficient burden for the organ of
thought to bear, without being torment?
ed by the miseries born of indigestion,
it is highly dosirabie for the brain's sake,
us well as for the sake of every other
portion of the system, that the disor?
dered stomach should bo restored with
tho utmost despatch to a healthy, vigor?
ous condition. This object can always
bo accomplished by a coarse of Hostet
tor's Stomach Bitters, the purest and
best of vegetable specifics, whioh evacu?
ates the morbid humors tbroagh tho
bowels, rouses and tones the torpid
stomach and regulates the liver, imparts
firmness to tho nerves and dears the
sen8orinm of its mental cobwebs. Per?
sons subject to attaoks of indigestion,
bilious headache, irregularity of tho
bowels, sickness at tho stomach or "the
blues," should take the Bitters onco or
twice a day throughout the present sea?
son. B20f3
It is reported that a new religious sect,
known ns the "Amanians," and number?
ing about 1,500, has sprung up in Iowa.
Tho now community is composed en?
tirely of Germaus. They havo purchased
about 30,000 acres of land on ?be line of
tho Rock Island Railroad, and have
built several mills aud manufactories.
All property is held in common, and the
affairs of tho society aro managed by
fifteen "fathers." Each person is al?
lowed to draw u certain amount from the

On Friday afternoon, as Gen. Dennis
was riding with a lady, two nurses and
two of bis children in his carriage, when
ia the immediate vicinity of Mr. George
Shields' machiae shop, going up the
hill, tho whistle blew, frightening his
horses so they sprang immediately to t he
left, against the fence, and turned around
tho other way, breaking one of the whif
fle-trees, thus loosening one horse, so the'
General had no control over them, ex?
cept to hold them and keep them from
running; which ho did, although thrown
violently to tho ground. The most mi?
raculous part of tho accident was that
ono of tho nurses, who sat on the front
scat, holding a littlo boy, was thrown
with the child under the front wheel, end
held firmly by the wheel, so that neither
of them could stir. If the horses had
moved forward, the carriage, which ia a
heavy six-passenger vehicle, must have
crushed them; and if they had backed,
the horses mast have trampled apon
them. The carriage was badly broken
by being twisted and crushed against the
fence. The General need be very thank?
ful, that, although badly braised, it was
no worse, as the escape of the norse aad
child from death was almost a miracle.
