M A vtry Uric© |m r cent, of iho peo ple throughout tne country Mem to be bent On Koetigeliciug President Cleve land,” observed one of the Chief Ex- eentlre't moat intimate iVieniU to-day. “Mr. Cleveland wat< telling me the other day that he wntjetime* thought there wn* an improMRioit in the minds of too many good folks that he prc- Mntid a rare opportunity for the mis- •ionariee. 1 asked him why he thought so and he laughingly replied: 'Oh, if the advice given me was concen trated Oil Africa, It would civilize and Christianize that whole wild and wicked ami dark country.’ I had to laogb, for there was so much serious- ness and yet dry humor iu it all. Cleveland realises, as he is reminded so often and so forcibly, that in a cer tain wav he acts an example to the world, but it worries him a little, I can see, to bo told by hundreds of peo ple, sometimes in one week, that he ought to 1st his light so shine, etc. He believes that these people must tl ink he is very wicked, or else that lie is the guardian of fifty million of people. Speaking of this noint he said to me: 'A President or king or other high and national officer should recognize iho snpremepower in every act committed. A man or woman should never got so exalted aa te fail to do this. Now, few public met have as little opportuni to disseminate personal views as have. If I were ewr so anxious to make people believe 1 was the embodi ment of goodness it would be up-hill work to create that impression, for a President cannot cry his wares fboai the housetops. If tbi being a Christian and all that, coming in every form and from every direc tion, is for my own. guidance, vei'y well. It it is to ciiange the general coarse of my public career, it is ill given. One thing I am bound shall never be made—the charge that 1 was a hypocrite. I like Christians; they are the salt of the earth. A hypocrite, to my miud, is the basest of sinners.’” "The' President must be a little an noyed by these importunities, is he not?” I asked. "Net in the least. On the contrary, he is gratified for the interest shown In him, if it is respect- fully shown. He doesn’t seem to com- K renend the fact that all Presidents ave had to withstand this ordeal. The letters he receives arc not the only evidence given him of a desire that he shall be a moral man. You would be surprised bow many Christian people breathe an audible bowevei, when they and it all hat a very upon Mr. Cleveian didn’t think an praver for him, grasp Ids hand, icrceptible effect , for he said he iiv man or woman with Muse and a heart could fail to be affected b\ the prayers of an earnest people, when be or she knew they were to constantly delivered. ’It is something like love In its physical. efEscl,’ said Mr. Cleveland one day. ‘Now, If one is very earnestly and sincerely loved that affection is sure, ft kept up and demonstrated, to have its way, unless the suitor is absolutely offensive. The mere fact that so much ooufldenoe and affection is persistently bestowed will touch a heart of stone. So the intense interest shown by so many iu a man's spiritual welfare mast eventually touch him, if thinks. AuUthtt man pr wumasf frho cannot be reached by the prayers of a nation is a strange being Indeed.’” "In his private life do you think the President observes any. standard of Christian ity ?” "Yes. he does. In all my inter course with him I do not remember to have heard him say anything im proper. He sometimes becomes very much perplexed, but he doesn’t swear about it ilr. Cleveland believes that honor between man and man is the foundation of Christianity; that unless one tells the troth and pays his dues he can lay no claim to morality.’’ x: NEW YORK SCANDAL. - - WkoUule Bribery of City Offlcrrs- —USO,- OOO for aa AUarausn’a Vata—Twaaty- Indictments Otrca Oat. Tftu arreat of Jaehne, a New York alderman, on an Indictment charging him with bribery in the matter of the charter of the Broadway Surface Road, has had an effeet on the politicians fairly comparable to an earthquake. In spector Byrnes claims to have wormed himself into Jaehne’s confidence, that bo acknowledged having received 920,• 000 for his vote on that measure, and told who besides himself were bribed, and who paid the money to them. Jaehne is perfectly composed, and says Byrnes’s story of a confession is a pure fabrication. Bvrnes says that among other things Jarlino described how one of the alderman had employ ed a lawyer and skilled accountant to so Ax his books as to account for the large accessions to Ids bank account adout the time.tyhen this Jiribso money was being distributed. It wts currently reported that Al derman Fuigraff would be arrested, but if he has been it has not become known. More indictments were look ed fur, but although twenty indict ments were banded in by the grand jury they did not embrace' any against the aldermen. Alderman Pearson, one of those under the cloud, was cali- •d as a witness before the Senate Com mittee on Iiftaetigatioo, but failed to respond, and this added a fresh im petus to the reportthat some of Jaeh lie’s partners in the bribe-taking have ab- Rumor is busy with the of all who were iii the Board When the Broadwav franchise was Inspector Byrnes was interviewed apoo tkis subject.

A Cartons and In tar •■ting Incident In the Family Hlttory of the Bayards. ’ The subject of presentiment concern ing death and fatality Iu families spoken of in Hancock's esse recalls some sad points iu the Bayard history. Evw families have been more depleted by sudden death than the Bayards, and in many instances there have been forewarning* and presentiment*. It is said that Mis* Bayard wrote a letter indicating her approaching death. There are now in VV ashingliou many old naval officers who reifieinber the interesting circumstance attending the death of Miss Bayard’s cousin, Charles C. Bayard, at Mount Vesuvius. He was the favorite sou of Richard Bay ard, of Philadelphia, whose father and Secretary Bayard’s father were broth ers. In 1843, while on board the United States ship Congress, in corn- pauy with several young friends, he made the ascent of Mount Vesuvius. It was the same Congress that went down in Hampton Roads before (he Merritnac, and in ths party was the same Joseph Smith, who as command er of the Congress had Ids head taken off by a cannon ball and of whom his fither said, when he heard (hat the Congress was taken: "Then Joe is dead.” In the partv also with Lehman B. Ashmead, of I’hiladelphia, with whom yonnd Bayard afterwards went to Jerusalem to visit the Holy Sepul chre. While there they both had tat tooed on their anus by an old drago man the heraldic afins of Jerusalem, with the date of their visit. In the case of young Bayard the tattooed cross developed virulent features, fes tered and flnaliy he became sick and i the arm became greatly swollen. He continually declared that he would die, and even after it appeared to grow en tirely well he was in the ha>it of say iiig to Mr. Ashmead and other friends: "This arm Will be ‘the death of yet.” Ten years afterwards young Bayard left for a cruise in the Colnm bia as flag lieutenant of Commander Morris. Before leaving lie look a sad farewell of all his friends here and and declared to one and all that ‘‘they would never see hirn again.” He was very rejected and despondent. Ten years to a day from his previous visit, in company with yonngCarrollTucker, of Murvland, anil n few friends, the Columbia being then at Naples, he made the accent of Vesuvius during gn eruption. With him were Itear Admiral Simpson and Rear Admiral Calhoun, who were then lieutenants. He had the arm of a Prussian army officer. He was quite gay. Just neaf the Hermitage, where he had halted ten years before, the party stopped, finding it would be dangerous to go nearer the crater. As they were turn ing a mass of lava and rock struck vonng Bayard on the arm where he had been tattooed, cutting it fearfully and obliterating the cross, and before the party could reach the foot of the volcano lie died. His mother is still living, upwards of ninety years of age. His body is buried near the foot of Vesuvius. A WHOLESALE LYNCHING. Thirteen Negro*;* Shot Down In a Mletla- •Wl> I C'ourthouftc. 1 .A. special to the Now Orleans Picay une, dated March 17 says: News of a terrible tragedy enacted at Carrollton, an interior town twenty-four miles southwest of Grenada, was received there this evening. Fifty men rode into town ami repaired to the Court house, where thirteen negroes were awaiting their trial. The whitc(men walked into the Courthouse and shot ten negroes dead and and mortally wounded the other three. The shooting grew out of the attempted assassina tion of James Liddell, a prominent citizen, who was shot and seriously wounded by these negroes several .weeks ago. PARTICULARS OF THE SLAUGHTER. New Orleans, March 18.—A special from Winona, Missiasippi, to the Tiince-Democrat gives the particulars of the circumstances leading to the tragedy at C&irolitou, Mississippi, yes terday and of the tragedy itself. The trouble begun some months apo in a slight altercation between a white man named Moore and a colored man named Brown. J. M. Liddell, a friend of Moore’s, afterwards got Into a dif ficulty with Brown through reference to Brown's treatment of Moore in whlce LiddeTI struck Brown with his fist, ami was shot in the elbow by Brown, and was fired at by several other colored men. In the further course of this difficulty Liddell was shot a second time and two colored men were shot slightly. Following this the negroes made affidavits against Liddell uud other?, charging them with assault with intent to murder. These cases came up yesterday for trial, and were called at noon, when the Courthouse was immediately filled with negroes who stmioned themselves aiouud and about the Brown brothers. The attorneya were proceeding with the case,/ when there suddenly appeared about one hundred white men all well armed. Perceiving their entrance, Edward Brown drew his pistol and fired iu the direc tion of Liddell, who was between his attorneys. *Hicrcnpon the firing be came general. Ton negroes were in- stahtly killed and two others have since died. Many escaped by jumping through widows a distance of at least twenty feet fiRoi the ground. On most of tiic dead bodies arms were found. The room was completely fill ed with smoke. The Judge’s bench is ou the north side of the room and the benches facing it are towards the south. It is a very large court room with win dows all around. On the south side were counted 13o shot holes, iu the wall of the passage leading down stairs ten holes, and in the benches thirty shot holes. One shot struck the northeast window sash and glanced into the wall. Five others show on the north wall from the direction of the benches. Large pools of blood were on the floor of the court room. The mob left as quickly and quietly as they came in •Two Brother* Murdered. A special. from Salem, Roanoke county, Virginia, says: A horrible double murder was committed on Back Creek, this county, Wednesday night. A roan named Griffey, who has a wife living on Back' Creek, had just returned from Texas, where, it is alleged*he served a term in the peni tentiary. Ills wife refased to recog nize him, and learning that John and Pickett Metz, sons of W illiatn Meta, had been visiting hia wife iu his ab sence, Griffey went to their home, called one of the young men oat and •hot him through the heart.

Griffey is at large. breast were aged WEDDED UNDER DIFFICULTIES. . A Tesna Ceramonjr Enlivened by (he Ele ment of Danger. ( Columbia, Tear. Diepateh to Chicago Time*.) An exciting and dramatic incident occurred hero last week. Sunday morning two men rode Into town. Their remarkable appearance at once attracted the attention of every one. They were covered with mud and carried a perfect arsenal of rifles, pis tol* and knives with thou. One was a man over 90, with long gray hair, and blood in his eye; the other was a man of 30 > car*,; built like a giant and wearing a terrible scowl on hi* face. They were father and son, William Wolford and Sain Wo fiord, from the backwoods of Matagorcla county. The old man said he was looking for his "darter Kate,” who had “lit out” with her cousin, Bill Wofford. The father and son located the runaway couple, who were occupying a small fisher- an’s teat half a mile outside of the n. When old Wofford found out the location of hi* erring "darter” a large crowd of curious men and boys followed tho terrible-looking pair to the vicinity of the tent, as the old man kept continually examining ins gun and saying: "Sam, I'm go'en to kill him, snali I” A* they neared the tent the crowd fell back, while the old man and hi* giant sou approached with rifles in hand. Suddenly the flap of the tent was violently thrown open from the inside and there stood Bill and Kate, each holding a terrible Win chester rifle—one covering the old man, and tha other the son. Old gray head aud Tram glared like two wild beasts on the bravo lovers and BUI called out: "Do you s’pose Pm gone to give her up artcr we done tramped it together all the way from the Colorado to the Brazos? Not much; she’s mine, and you stan’ there notv and sec us married.” The old man and Sam, under cover of the suggestive Winchesters, slowly moved back, all the time facing the boy Bill and Ids Kate, who had the drop on them. Meantime a courier had gone to town for a license and a preacher, and alter nearly two hours, during which time Bill and Kate never took their eyes off the old man and Sam and threatening, to kill either'should hs raise a hand, (lie preacher and the license arrived. During the cercmonoy the bride- groqm kept Ids •.rillc at a half-cock ? minting toward ids father-in-law. he preacher was so afraid they would open hostilities while he was there he could scarcely finish tne ceremony. After the marriage the old man deliv ered a terrible curse ou both said lie would spare their lives now, provided they never set foot in Matagorda county. "If you do,” said he, as ho shook Ids long, dirty yellow locks ami and violently struck his rifle with one hand, "if you do, you’re both on ynu dead soon as you cross the Hne, for when I’m gone Ham he’s there. You’ve got the world before yon ’cent Mata gorda county. Now go!” With this philippic the old man and son departed forlorn, while Bill pulled down the flap of the tent. • UK DISABLED HOI.DIEK*. Tho Comptroller Gonoral Sock* the N’ornr* of oil Entitled to Aid from the State. Comptroller General Btoney hs* recently is*ued the following circular: The General Assembly, at its last session, passed au Act instructing the Comptroller-General "to iuvtsiigate and report to the nett session of the General Assembly the names aud con dition of all citizens of this State who are unable to earn a livelihood by rea son of wound* or other disabilities in curred while iu the service of the State during the war between the States.” In order to carry out tho provisions of this Act, the Comptroller-General has prepared blank forms of applica tion and sent the same to the Clerk* of Court, from whom they may be ob tained, and he request* that all citizens of the State embraced within the pro visions of the Act, will as soon as possible forward to him their names with all of the information required on Ihc blank. The applicant must be a citizen of the State, jmd ifiust have incurred tt)e disability while in the service of the State. He must file tfie necessary cer tificates to show that he is unable to earn a livelihood by reason of physical disability, and that this disability is the effect of wounds (or injury) re ceived while in the service of the State. As the Act provides for a list of such persons only, it will be a waste of tiimvresnlting only in disappointment, to any others who may take the trouble to send their names. : W. E.

Change* in it* Element* Make tt a Very Different Body from this TITJ. (Cablegram to the Sew York Herald.) The change in the temper of parties in the Hnuse toward home rule is due to a profound change in the constitu eut clement ot (he House of Commons itself. The new Parliament is essen tially an assembly of working men, in tbe sense that iu members attend seri ously to their busine-s. The Scotch, Welsh and English Democratic mem bors emulate by their constant and unremitting attention the Irish mem bers, and except for the hours neces sary for sleep they seem always pres ent. Hours before the House meets they are in the library attending to correspondence. After 4, when the business begins, they seem to be always on hand until 2, 3 and even 4 o’clock in the morning, when the House ad journs. The old time aristocratic din ner hours hare been abolished. "Counts out” are things of the past. There is no more talking to empty benches. At all hours there is an andionce for any one having anything to say worth listening to, and what is equally im portant, an audience ready promptly to suppress bores. The Government has lost its grip over members. The word "ministers” is no longer a law. Ancient etiquette and precedent are at a discount. Tbe new men are the mMters, and they will not stand any nonsense. They vote against the min istry with refreshing independence. Already they have established a Par liamentary reign of terror in a mild way. Ministers are compelled to be cbnsistent. They no longer dare to follow the old time custom of speaking iu office against the reforms they ad vocated iu opnositiun. The slightest indication of a disposition to do ttr immediately provokes ominous howls of disMnt and dissatisfaction. Old time politicians are in dismay. Whig and Tory alike feftr that with tbe next Parliament will come the delnge. FOB OOUOHS AND OffiOUF UM SALESMEN WANTED P. every neighborhood, or sell at home, ~ Blood and Live* Pill*. A refereaee.
