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

‘Now, If one is very earnestly and

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

foundation of Christianity; that unless

NEW YORK SCANDAL. - -
WkoUule Bribery of City Offlcrrs- —USO,-

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

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-

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

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.

THE NEW PARLIAMENT.
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.
