Prisoners of State.
mi:i:ti.o was held lately in tho
Lodge-ro.iin, 0!bon's llulldlngs, to
make arrangements for the Convention
proposed to bo held shortly of those
persons who were linprl-oned or lost
their property by Illegal nml arbitrary
acts under the Lincoln administration.
On account of tlio storm of the prece-
llng night, and various other causes,
tho gathering was a smaller ono than It
would havo boon under dltl'erent cir
cumstances ; but a consldoriibloiiiiiuber
of gentlemen wero present, and the
ptrlt exhibited was most harmonious.
Mr. P. C. Wright, of New York city,
was appointed Chairman of tho meet lug,
and Mr. Samuel Pike, of Kouthiiort,
Connecticut, as Secretary.
The Chairman read a letter from lion.
James W. Wall, of Hurlltigtoti, X. .1.,
retting that lie could not bo present
on account of Illness in ids family. 1 lo
expressed his approval of the objects of
thu proposed convention, and recom
mended, in order to inakoltaslargeand
succe-sful as possible, that it should lie
postponed until spring, when the facili
ties for travel would be much increased.
Similar letters wero read from a mini
her of gentlemen In various parts of the
country, all of whom were unwillingly
detained from tho meeting.
A conversational dlcu-lon then took
place between those pre-ent. It was
reed to by all that the Intended con
volition was very nccOs-ary, and thai
the time for holding it had arrived. It
was felt Hint an ellort should bo made
to liubll-h to the world the true facts lit
connection witli the Impri-oniiienl and
confiscation of property of many 'iti-
zens of the Union, anil to reiuos'o from
their shoulders the unju-t obloniiy
which now rested upon them. The gen
eral sentiment was in favor of postpon
ing tlio convention till about the mouth
of May.
It was finally agreed that a commit
tee of gentlemen from various State.
should bo appointed, and that this com
mittee -hould deternilno the time and
jilaco for tho convention, and make all
other necessary arrangements for it.

Besieged by Famished Cats.
It is said that an entcrpri-itig Yan
kee, having bought an i-land in the
Ohio river, has stocked the same with
black cats, Intending to go into tlio fur
trade. Tills reminds n of a similar
experiment, which was made many
year. ago, by a gentleman who relded
In Maryland. Tho Idea struck him
that the fur trade Was no lucrative that
it would be much better to r.tio ani
mal neater homo than the regions of
tho North, mid accordingly p'trcha-oil
an island in the Chesapeake Day, stock
ing it with the hlacl;et of black cats.
He paid extravagant price for the fe
lines, an I till the boys In tho adjacent
country went wtemlvely into the hii-1-ne-s
of entrapping unsuspecting Tom
mies and tabbies which wore iniiui'di-
alely disposed of and sent to the n fore
said l-laud.
The gentleman found tho cat very
prolltlc, and wa oon compelled to em
ploy two men to live on tlio island ami
llsli with a seine, in order to supply
them with rood. At fll't, tlio ilsher
meii bad quite an eny time, anil readi
ly supplied 11-h in ubiindanco for their
charges; but tlio number dally increas
ed, until whole legion of black cat
trooped over tho Island home, devour
ing everything In tho shape of food,
and the men found it impossible to fur
nish tho requl-Ito amount of nourish
ment. At ln-t it wii determined that
ono of tlio men should take a boat, and,
returning to tlio mainland, report the
alarming stnto of iilliiirs. During the
nbseecoof tlio messenger, the cats bo
camo exceedingly bold, and tho remain
ing party, fearing for ids life, lucked
himself up In his cabin and prepared
for a siege.
Tlio enemy, enboldened by this dis
play of fear, and urged on by hunger,
surrounded tlio lioii-o climded up the

as Attorney-General Stnusbery. My au
thority is unquestionable, as, In fact, It
always is. Soon niter Grant's accession
to Iho Cabinet lie brought up a propo
sition, in Cabinet meeting, In regard to
the abolition of whipping, as a punish
ment for crime, in tho South, The
whlpplng-po-t, lie said, was a relic of

All tho Cabinet olllcers agn .! on rat
point, but they differed as to iuc pro
priety of interfering against tlio penal
laws of a State. Such punishment was
being gradually abolished anyhow, and
would soon disappear entirely. Uut
Grant believed that something ought
to 1)0 done by tlio army to prevent its
continuance. It wassobarbaroustli.it

and said In a quiet way: "I believe

"Yes," the General eald, "that had

"Well, it seems tome," replied Stans
bery, "that Its n little worse to buck
and gag a man for getting tipsy than to
whip him for larceny. If you had to
choose, would you rather bo whipped

Wr.sTr.p.x JLorjUEXCK. Gentlemen
of tho Jury : Can you for an instant
suppose that my client hero, a man that
lias always sustained a high depreda
tion In society, a man you all on you
suspect anil esteem for his good quali
ties ; yes, gentlemen, a man that never
drinks more than one quart of liquor a
day ; can you, I say, for an instant sup-po-o
that this ero man would bo guilty
of hooking a box of percushin caps? Itat
tlosnakes and eooiiskins forbid ! I'lctur
to yourselves, gentlemen, a feller fast
asleep in his log cabin, witli his inno
cent wife and orphan children by his
side all naturo hushed in deep repose,
and naught to bo heard hut the mutter
ing nf tlio silent thunder and tlio hol
lering of the bull frogs; then Imagine
to yourselves a fellow sneaking up to
tho door like a despicable hyena, softly
entering tho dwelling of tho peaceful
and happy family, and in tlio mo-t
mendacious and dastardly manner,
hooking a whole box of percushin cips.
Gentlemen, I will not, I cannot dwell on
the monstrosity of such n sceno ! My
feelings turn from such a scene nf moral
turpentine like a big woodehtiek would
turn from my dog Watch ! I cannot for
an instant harbor tho idea that any
man in the-e dlggitw, much les this
ro man, could bo guilty of any such
rantaiikcrous and un xampled di-cre-tiou.
And now, gentlemen, after tills
ero brief view or tlio ease, let oi" re

irefnlly, candidly, ami tnriirl ny,

reasonably suspect from such an en

Tho writer of tho "Pen and Ink
Sketches," of which we have already
mado mention, lu tho West Florida
Commercial, mentions an Interesting
little incident connected with tlio ro
treat southward of Mr. Davis and ills
Cabinet, after tho capitulation of Gen.
Johnston,
Tho party had stopped for rest nt tho
roidoucoof n gentleman near tho Cataw
ba niver. Tho writer proceeds :
His dwelling, beautifully situated
ond surrounded by ornato and cultiva
ted grounds, was readied about four
o'clock p.m., and tlio charming lady of
tho mansion, witli that earnest sympa
thy and genorous kindnoss which Mr.
Davis In misfortune never failed to ro-
celvo from Southern women, soon made
every man of tlio party forget his cares
and fool, for a time at least, "o'er all
tho Ills of life victorious."
After such slight renovations and
changes of their travel-soiled toilets as
circumstances permitted, and nn hour
of refreshing rest, it was a novel sight
to seo Mr. D.ivls and Mr. lleg.ni, with
a little son of their kind hast as their
ally, playing an animated and well con
tested game of marbles against his sec
ond son, a boy of somo ten yean, sup
ported by Gen. Ureeklnridgu nud an
other Cabinet officer. Tho game lasted
nearly nn hour ; and notwithstanding
tho skill of hlsoppoiicuts, Ilrecklnrldge,
who plays tho best game of marbles of
any leading public man sinco Judge
Marshall, and who had his usual good
luck, came off victorious.
The youngsters, two bright, intelli
gent Southern boys, will never forgot
that ardently disputed game of mnrhlci
with .Mr. Davis, who, to their Intliilto
delight, seemed as much nt homo with
all the words of caution ami command,
from "knuckle down nt taw" tu "rum
dings," a tlieiusclvis.
