M1SCEL L ANEO US.
.mi io:v.ii, MHI.I.I.M.
It stems to us liigli time that Gen. Dutlcr,
Sotiiitor MiiTtriBD, Senator Mnrtnu, nnd
other lJcpublicnns prcHutiiing tlmt there
are otiicra who nre quoted liy John T. Hoff
man turn other Copperheads ns indorse of
their plan of paying off the Xutiouul Deht
in Urtenliacks, should define their position.
Not one of them, ao far ns we have seen,
ever intimated that the Government might
honestly issue fine Greenbacks and there
with cancel, dollar for dollar, the bonds
whereon it is paying six per cent, interest in
gold. The Lejial Tender act w hich is the
only one quoted to justify the purposed vil
Itiiny does indeed say that "these cotes
shall also he lawful money and a legal tender
in payment of till debts, public and private,
within the United States," fcc. This is the
clause relied on to testify the proposed rob
bery, in clear view of the fact that the bonds
were sold and taken in the fullest assurance
that these words did not mean what they
nre now said to mean, and that the bonds
should bo paid at maturity in coin or its
full equivalent.
lint the words quoted are few, and cannot
nullify the residue of the act of which they
form a part. The act (repeatedly quoted by
us, and accessible to every oue in our Fi
nance Kxtra) expressly
1. Limits the nmmuit of the Greenbacks
to be issued to One Hundred nnd Fifty Mil
lions of Dollars ;
2. Authorizes the issue of Five Hundred
Millions of Five-Twenty bonds, drawing six
per cent, interest in coin, wherein these
Greenbacks nre fundable;
3. Provides that any holder of Greenbacks
may at his pleasure have them converted
iuto an equul amount of the Five-Twenty
bonds.
4. Makes nil Duties on Imports payable
iu Specie, and appropriates that Specio to
tho payment of the interest ami one )r rent,
annually of the princhiul of the Xational
IMht.
Let these stipulations be faithfully obeyed,
and tho payment of the bonds in Greenbacks
becomes absurd. If any were so paid, tho
holder might at once pieseut the Greenbacks
and demand their face in new Five-Twenty
bonds, drawing nix per cent, iuterest iu
coin, and not payable till after five years.
All that payment in Greenbacks would
amount lo would be tho perpetuation of the
present high rate of interest, when we ought
to borrow ut a lower rate and pay off (when
due) nil our bonds that bear so high an in
terest as six per cent,
Xow see what ute a villain makes of bet
ter men's names :
Allen G. Thurtnan, late Democratic candi
date for Governor of Ohio, and now U. S.
Seuator elect by tho votes of a minority of
the people of his State, in a late speech at
Sandusky, Ohio, says :
"But.sayssomeliadicul gentlcman,"graot,
Mr. Thuruian, all you say to be true, ami it
seems to be uudeniable, yet was not the debt
inevitable! and if so how are our Radical
rulers responsible for its effects ?" To such I
an inquirer, I would reply, whether the
debt wus unavoidable or not, I would not
stop to discuss. The debt exists w hether
wisely or uuwisely contracted, whether ne
cessarily or unnecessarily ec ha need in
amount and it must be paid ! But how
must it be puid! About 11,800,000,000 of
the debt tho five twenty bonds aro law
fully payable iu greenbacks that is, their
principal is so payable. So said your great
leader, Thaddeus Stevens, and so say your
other prominent leaders Gen. Butler, Sena
tor Morton, and your own Senator from Ohio,
Mr. John Sherman. So said your own Kndi
cal Convention, no longer "ago than lust
February. So says ThomasEwiug, the very
head of the American bar. And so must
every candid muu say who will fairly inves
tigate the question.
"Were these $1,300,000,000 thus paid in
greenbacks, the country would be relieved
of the annual payment of $08,000,000 in
gold equal to fli 3,000,000 in currency.
The people of Ohio would be relieved of ao
annual payment of one twelfth of that sum-
equal to nearly $J,600,000 a sum more than
sutlicient to support our State Government,
economically administered.
'Why, then, is there no step taken to
ward paying off these bonds in the kind of
money witu which they were purchased and
in which they are lawfully payable! Why
is no provision made for paying them off as
fast as they fall due, or at least as fast as
Uiey can be paid without too great an ex
pausiwn of the currency I There is but one
answer to these questions, and that is, that
our Radical rulers do not intend that they
shall be thus paid off. Tbey intend to pay
gold where the Government only promised
paper. The j intend that the currency which
the people are compelled to take may be re
jected by the bondholder. If you pay in
greenbacks, says one, you will destroy the
credit of the Government. It is downright
repudiation, unmitigated stealing, cries an
other, la it so I
''The contract between the Government
and th bondholder is that the bond may be
paid in greenbacks. It is foutd in the
greenback. It is found in tho laws untler
which tho bonds wcro issued, and It is in
delibly stamped nn every legal-tender note
or greenback. On tho back of every one of
them you will find ttese words : 'This note
is a legal-tender for all the debts, public and
privste, except duties on imports and inter
est on tho public debt, and is receivable in
payment of all loans made to the United
States.' Could any language be plainer than
thatf The people, by their Government,
say to the money-lender, if you will lend us
money, we will take greenbacks from you
and give our bond ; and when we take up
the bond we will pay you in like currency,
in the meantime paying you interest in gold.
And now when the Government fulfills this
contract strictly, according to both its letter
and spirit, by paying the interest in golel
and principal in greenbacks, what reason
is there w by its credit should suffer ? And
is no faith to be kept toward the people as
we'.l as by the people? Are they to be
branded as repudiators and thieves, because
they keep their contract as it was made ; be
cause they refuse to givo more than they
promised to give f And yet, with the laws
and equity anel good faith, and honor of
the case plainly before them, what did our
Hadical Congress do at its last session ? It
passed what is commonly called the Funding
bill, by which it is proposed to continue the
debt for 40 years, and to pay both principal
and interest iu gold. It is true that a lower
rate of Interest is offered ; but if tho princi
pal of the debt, as well as the interest, is,
under exi-t ng laws, payable in gold, what
right hns the Government to nsk its creditor
to take less than it promised him f On the
other band, if the principal is payable in
greenbacks, what right has Congress to ask
the people to extend the debt to forty years,
and pay it nil, principal us well as interest,
in gold, thus doubling, or rather trebling,
the amount to be paid. For in forty years
you would pay tho amount of the debt more
than twice ocr in interest, even at fiur per
cent., and still have the principal to pay,
when, by ket ping your contract as it is, you
may pay off the principal in legal-tenders,
and stop all payment of interest. I say,
then, if this burden shall continue to rest
upon the people if, year after yenr, as long
as you live, and after you, ns long ns your
children live, tho people of Ohio arc to be
depriveel of their means, and ns their money
is to flow out of the Stuto to their own im
poverishment, and the enriching of others,
it will be the fault of our Radical rulers ; it
will be the bitter fruits of Hadical policy.
"No, my friends ; pay off your debt as you
promised to pay it, and not otherwise; and
pay it as speedily as possible, consistently
with your welfare. Let not that worst ene
my of free institutions and tho laboring mau
a groat public debt exist among you."
Here it is plain that Mr. Thurtnan pro
poses to pay off $1,300,000,000 of interest
bearing Debt by simply printing off a like
amount of non intcrest-bearing promises,
payable nt no time and in nothing, nnd say
to the public creditors, "Tako these or noth
ing your iuterest stops from this day." He
who does not feci that this would be nuked,

Like children, and all soft things, women
are soon spoilt if subjected to unwholesome
conditions. Sometimes the spoiling comes
from over harshness, sometimes from over
indulgence. What we are speaking of to
day is the latter condition the spoiling
which comes from being petted anil given
way to and indulged, till they think them
selves better than anybody else, and as if
living under laws made specially for them
alone. Men get spoilt too in tho same man
ner; but for the most part there is a tougher
fibre in them, which resists the Uabby in
fluences of flattery and exaggerated atten
tion better than can the morals of the weaker
sex ; and, besides, evtn arbitrary men meet
with opposition in certain directions, and
even th n ot self contented social autocrat
knows that his humblest adherents criticise,
though they dare not oppose.
A uian subjected to Ibis insidious injury is
simply ruined so far as any real manliness of
nature goes, lie is made into that sicken
ing creature, "a sweet being," as the women
call him a woman's man, with flowing hair
and a turn of poetry, full of high flowu sen
timent, and morbidly excited sympathies ; a
man almost as much woman as man, who
has no backbone of ambition in him, but
who puts his whole life into love, just as
women do, and who becomes at last em
phatically not worth bis salt. No greater
damage can be done to a man than is done
by this kiud of domestic idolatry. But, in
truth, the evil is too pleasant to be resis
ted ; and there is scarcely a man so far
master of himself as to withstand the subtle
intoxication of woman's tender flattery and
loving submission.
Spout women are spoilt mainly from a
like cause over-attention from men. A few
certainly are to be found, as pampered
daughters, with indulgent mammas ana
subservient aunts, given up wholly to ruin
ing their young charge with the utmost (lis
putch possible ; but this is comparatively a
rare form of the disease, and oue which a
little wholesome matrimonial discipline
would soon cure. For it is seldom that a
petted daughter becomes a spoilt wife, hu
man affairs having that marvelous power of
compensation, that inevitable tendency to
readjust the balance, which prevents the
contiuuance of a like excuse under different
forms. Besides, a spoilt daughter generally
makes such a supremely unpleasant wife
that the husband has no inducement to con
tinue the mistake.and therefore either lowers
ber tone by a judicious exhibition of snub
bing, or, if she is aggrossive as well as an
pleasant, leaves her to fight with ber sha
dows in th best way she can, glad for his
own part to escape the strife she will not
forego. One characteristic of the spoilt wo
man is her impatience of anything like rival
ry. She never has a female friend certain
ly not one of ber own degree, and not one at
all in' the true sense of the word. Friendship
Eresupposcs equality, and a spoilt woman
now no equality. Sh has been so long
accustomed to consider herself as the lady
paramount, that she cannot understand it if
any one steps In to share her honors and
divide her throne. To praiso tho beauty of
any other woman, to find her charming, or
to pay her the attention of a charming wo
man, is to insult our spoilt darling, and to
slight her past forgiveness. If there is only
one good tiling it must be given to her the
first seat, tho softest cushion, the most pro
tected situation ; and she looks for the beat
of all things as if naturally consecrated from
her birth into the sunshine of lifo, and as if
tho "cold shade" which may do for others
were by no means tho portion allotted to
htr. It is almost impossible to make the
spoilt woman understand tho grace or tho
glory of sacrifice.
The spoilt woman as tho wife of an unsuc
cessful husband or tho mother of sickly
children is a spectacle. If it comes to tier
to be obliged to sacrefice her usual luxuries,
to make an old gown servo when a new one
is desired, to sit up nil night watching by
the sick bed, to witness tho painful details
of illness, perhaps of death, to meet hard
ship face to face, to bend her back to tho
burden of sorrow, she is at tho first absolute
ly lost. Not the thing to be done, but her
own discomfort in doing it, is tho ooo mas
ter idea not others' needs but her own
pain iu supplying them, the great griet
of the moment. Many are tho bard lessons
set us by lifo and fate, but the hardest of all
is that given to tho spoilt woman when she
is made to think for others rather than for
hcrsslfand is forced by the exigencies ot
circumstances to sacrifice her own case for
the greater necessities of her ki nil.
All that large part of tho perfect woman's
nature which expresses itself in serving is nn
unknown function to tho spoilt woman. She
must be waited on, but she cannot in her
turn serve ven the one or two she loves. She
is the woman who culls her husband from
one end of the room to tho other to put
down her cup, for herself; who, however
weary he may be, will bid him get up nnd
ring the bell, though it is close to her hand,
and her longest walk during the day has
been trom the dining-room to the drawing
room. It is not that sho cannot do these
small offices herself, but that sbo likes the
feeling of being waited on and attended to ;
nnd it is not for love, and the amiable if
wenk pleasure of attracting the notice of the
beloved it is just for the vanity of being a
jittlo somebody for the moment, and of play
ing off the small regality involved in tho
procedure. Sho would not return tho atten
tion. Unlike tho Eastern women, w ho wait
on their lords hand nnd font, nnt who placo
their highest honor in thir lowliest service,
tho spoilt woman of Western lifo knows
nothing of tho nntural grace of womanly
fcrving for love, for grace, or for gratitude.
The spoilt woman of the mental
kind is a horrid nuisance generally. She is
greatly given to largo discourse, tho dis
course of a kind that leans nil to one r'hIc,
and that denies the right of any one to criti
cise, doubt, or contradict ; is an intellect naf
Tower of Pisa, under tho shadow of which
it is not pleasant to live.
An Irishman's) YIcw of llic Ilond
tiienlion.
The Decatur (Illinois) Curette reports the
following conversation that occurred be
tween a prominent democrat nud an Irish
man of that city, recently. For convenience
it designates the persons as Jack and Pat..
"Jack How do you like the democratic
platform ?
"Put 1 can't understand it ; would ye be
after expUiuing it to me all about the
bond question ?
"Jack Oh, yes, with pleasure. You sco
the rich men own all the bonels, and the
poor men have to pay the bonds.
"rut -1 lie uevil, ye say; is tt-ot the way!
"Jack Yes ; and now the democratic
party propose to pay off the bonds with
greenbacks, and thus everybody will be treat
ed equally.
"Pat Is that our platform ?
"Jack Not in so many words but that
is what it means; and now, Pat, I want you
to do nil you can for our party bring the
boys out to all the meetings, aud
"Pat Hould on, Jack ; will jcr paying
the bonds off in greenbacks make the poor
man as rich as the bondholder ?
"Jack Not exactly , the bondholder will
have his greenbacks where we can tax them.
"Pat Then there will be all greenbacks
and money will bo plenty, and we'll get
gould for our greenbacks, if we elect Sey
mour? "Jack Not exactly ; there is not gold
enough in the county.
"Put Thin we are not to have gould at
all. How in the devil are you going to pay
off the greenbacks ?
"Jack A part of it will be put off by tax
ation, tho money we take from the people
for revenue and stamps, etc., and as the
greenbacks get worn by constant handling,
we print new ones.
"Put I see ; you propose to take the debt
now carried by the rich bondholder aud
divide it among tho people, rich and poor
aiikc, by forcing the bondholder to spend
his money for property.
"Jack Exactly. You are learning fast,
and you see
"Pat Hould on an idee strikes me. If
tho Government debt is all in greenbacks,
and thin in circulation, how raanycords of era
will it take to buy a cord of wood I
"Jack I cannot cay what they would bu
worth that will regulate itself. But, by
tho by, Pat, could you pay me that little
note you owe mo ? It was due yesterday, aud
I need the money very much.
"Pat Yes, I know tho note is due, and
I'll pay you according to the democratic
platform.
"Jack What do you mean?
"Pat I maue I'll give you a fresh note
for the one ye have.
"Jack There's nothing about giving
fresh notes to the democratic platform.
"Pat Yis, ye said we pay the bonds off
in greenbacks, ana botn oi itiera are promises
to pay of the same government. Ye's give
one promise to pay for another one, and I'll
give you a fresh promise to pay for the one
you have now. The note you have now
says ten per cent, interest ; the new cne will
say without iuterest, and no time set for its
payment.
"Jack But this is an individual matter,
and the other is a government matter. You
honestly owe me, and promised to pay me
yesterday. Your proposition is to cheat
me out of my money.
"Pat An' it's chatln' y out of your mo
ney, is it t An' haven't I as good right to
chate ye as the government has to chute the
widdersan' orphans whose money is all in
government bands ? I'll pay ye on the demo
cratic platform I"

Mr. Matt. II. Carpenter, in a letter writtcu
to a Wisconsin paper, discusses political is
sues as follows :
"My steady atlpport of tho democratic
party prior to the war was and is well known.
I was educated to bclievo that truo demo
cracy, taught by Jefferson, consisted in tho
greatest good to the greatest number, with
out regard to nationality, racb Or color. Iri
this belief I supported its candidates. If I
was mistaken in this, then I was acting un
der a mistake of fact, which would author
ize a Court of Equity to relieve me from tho
consequence flf the votes can for t!iat par
ty. But however this may have been, the
war raised an issue above party politics. It
was then evident that there couh! Lb but
two classes of American citizens, those who
supported and those who opposed the gov
ernment. At first it was my hope and ex- !
pectation that democrats, under tho lead of
Douglns, would espoure tWe s)de of the gov
ernment, aud unitedly aid in suppressing
tho rebellion. The first speech I made was
in company with out and out democrats.
n'o!!8;"""'"? ia Milwaukee, in tho spring
t 1801, I spoke from the same stand with
on. James S. Brown; subsequently with
Hon. George . Smith nt KIKhorn, and af
terward w.tl. Hon. II. L. Palmer at Fond
clu Lac. In llieso speeches we all advocated
the old democratic doctrine of standing bv
tho government and sending armies against
rebel. T heso meetings were held for the
purpose of encouraging enlistmonts to fill
up our regiments.
"Soon after the meeting at Fond du Lac
however, there was a meeting of n few ifenio'
crats iu Milwaukee, to which I was not in
vited; where, as I understand, it was deter
mined that some check must bo placed up
on tho popular currents which seemed to be
moving in favor of the rjovcrnment,- lest
they should lead to a supimrt or Mr. Lin
coln's administration and thus damage the
interests of the democratic patty. This was
in 18G3. At this meeting it was resolved
to call a state convention to show all demo
crats what democracy was, nnd to call back
those whose patriotic impulses had ted them
too iar in uuvancc. litis convention met
and adopted au address, which disclosed
the fact that no man could sympathize
with the government aud denouuee the re
bellion without being excluded from tho
democratic fold. I hud then to elect
whether I would abandon tho support of
tho war ot be considered an outsider. I
ch oso the latter, and thus becamo separated
from the party.
"In 1804 we wcro in the midst of war.
No political issue wus under discussion. The
great question of the hour related to the life
of the nation. The democratic party had
gone sadly astray, had dishonored its his
tory and disgraced its founders by it oppo
sition to tho war. Neverthelejs, I then
thought it not impossible that when the
war should be ended and slavery abolished,
that party might accept the situation; re
turn to tho practice of its own principles;
become onco more what it had formerly
been, the progressive party or the country ;
espouse universal tfufiroge ; become the
champion of the rights of all without re
gard to national birthplace, raco or color;
and thus, by being what it Was desiirned to
be, outstrip the Republicans in the race of
radicalism. I believed, too, that the Irish
clement,- which g 'the old guard' of that
party, would insist upon this course ns the
best means of exhibiting to the tforld ah ex
ample of universal liberty and equal rights
before the lriw, which might shine across
the ocean to illumine the darkness of down
trodden Ireland. Up to this time, though' I
WUS wholly separated from tha demnrratm
parly, I had not called myself a Republican.
Indeed, while we wcro all exhorting demo
crats to support the government without re
gard to party ties", ft would not bnvo been
iu exceeding good taste to have announced
myself as a Reuublicau. There was rrrpnt.
force in counselling the people to throw off
oil party ties Rnd be neither democrats nor
Republicans, but patriots, until the war
should end. There was creat force in an-
peal to democrats to desert their purty and
act independently in the support of the
government until peace should revive again
tho necessity for parties; this exhortation I
employed ull through the war; and I do not
think it would hrtve been strengthened, nor
its beneficient effects increased, if I had ac
companied it with the announcement that I
had left the democratic party and joined the
Republican party.
"I waited long 'for the consolation of Is
rael,' but it came not; and after the Chicago
Timet made its earnest and gallant appeal
to the party to plant itself upon the time
honored principles it had professed ; to
ndopt negro suffrage, and by putting Itself
once more iu sympathy with true democracy,
to retrieve the blunders of tho past : and
after tho party had not only rejected but
spurned this wise counsel, and even the
Timet, under tho lash of Brick Pomeroy,
had shrunk back from its suggestions of
truth and wisdom, and returned to its 'wal
lowings,' it became perfectly evident, as I
had long before concluded, that tho demo
cratic party of Jefferson and Madison had
ceased to exist, was dead, burned beneath
tho rubbish of the past, and hence forth
thero was to be no opportunity for support
ing 4ho great principles I had at heart, ex
cept in the Republican party.
"The nomination which I declined to bo
a candidate for was conferred upon my dis
tinguished friend, General HalbcrtK. Paine,
and I took the stump for hint, and did every
thing in my power to insure his electiou.
Indeed, I have cordially supported every
measure and every candidate of the 1 te pub
lics n party, state and national, since 1801.
And if a man is to be classed in politics by
what he does, not by what he calls himself;
if the servant who said he would not go but
went, is to be approved rather than the one
who said be would go but went not, then I
might reasonably claim to haveJjeen a Re
publican since 1861 in everything except the
name. And if calling oneself a Republican
is conclusive of the fact, then Mr. Doolittle
is the best Republican in the state today ; 1
indeed, be says he is the only one, tho party
having left him standing alone upon iu plat
form. "The issue which will divide the country
for the next twenty-five years bare resulted
from the war, and the position of both par
ties is now firmly snd finally taken. Those
who supported the war will support the
measure the war rendered necessary, and
these measures will be opposed by those who
opposed the war. So that, however you
may regret it, I have no doubt I shall be
compelled by a sense of duty to remain in
the Republican party to the end of my lifo.
If you were to read out of the party all who
were democrats before the war you would
txclud Grant, Stanton, Holt, Sickles, Lo
gan and many others, w hom it seems desira
ble, tri retain. The Republics party, by
buhishing from its ranks nil who have ever
been democrats, would be so far reduced In
numbers as to secure entire harmony in it
nominations of candidates who woulel never
bo elected. If the Republican party is to
succeed now nnd hereaftr ertitest the w iler-t-f
its opponents, it needs all ita strength ;
nnd wisdom would ferm to dictate a good
degree of charity and toleration nf past dif
ferences upon forgotten issues. Indeed, flic
man who hud passed through this war w ith
out any change of opinion or sentiment n
regard to the details of governmental policy,
must either have been gifted with prophetic
powc1 to see tl-le etid from the beginning, or
he tiiust have been an impenetrable dunci,
upon whom passing events, study nnd rn
flccticfi nlake no impression.

"About three xyeqks ago a negro woman
named Martha Holland who has for some
time past been in tho employ of Mr. Ilrnsinr,
and worked .as afield hand upon lits pi are
in Christian county, about nine miles v;jat
f Hopkinville, in this dtate,' was bitten in
tho leg by a clog. The wound was small,
and as no evil effects were anticipated, noth

sorted to. About one week after the biting
occurred, unmistakable symptons were mani
fested. Tho first decided evidence was giv
en by the '.rl menacing a'txT rilnnfc'g alter
Mrs. Brasicr, who was rescued by her son,
James Brasier, who caught the girl and
tied her, but in doing so Martha scratched
him, from the effects of w hich ha bus since
gone mad, and is now in tho asylum at IIop

as that c'f the girl. After this became known
in the neighborhood, a meeting was held by

"The execution of the sentence was delay
ed and finally revoked, and it was decide 1
to send the girl to tho lunatic nsylutn &'.

the stato W'hcro oloreel patients of this
character arc received". The dog that has
caused all this trouble bit a little cur nt
Hopkinsville some eight or ten days ago,
anel it is said that the victim died from the
effects of tho bite. Every officer but rheln
Christian county declined to take the girl
in chnrgo to deliver her to the keeper of tho
asylum at Lexington. This ono is Deputy
Sheriff James A. Bobbin. To prevent the
possibility of further harm to others, ns the
girl was constantly trying to bitu or scratch
her custodians, Jier toe aud finder pirls were
closely trimmeu, and her teeth were knock
ed out I It is impossible to keep clothes
upon her, nnd' she was all day yesterday in
her cell naked.
"Ono remarkable fact connected with this
case is that the patient refuses to taste food
of any kind or to drink water. She is to
obstinate in this particular that Sheriff Bob
bi?t informs us that it has been twelve days
since she has taken nourishment of any de
scription, or swallowed a drop of water.

did not.- The docters do not agree in est'
muting the character of the attack. Dr.

that it is clearly hydrophobia, to the latter

TUB ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION" OF STATU
8 P. NATO it WHEELER HIS OWN ACCOUNT.
A Chicago paper publishes the following
letter from Stephen Wheeler, of Arkansas,
addressed to a relative, giving the particu
lars of the recent attempt to murder , him'
near Scare y :
"Little Rock, August 18, 1803.
"Dear : On Tuesday, the 4th in
stant, I started' from Suarcy with tho inten
tion of coming to thii place to attend to a
little business, and thou to leave here on
Saturday following for Chicago. I had my
plans laid tor a good visit to you; but the
demon of rebellion is not deael yet. On my
way to the steamboat lauding, about uttceu
miles distant from Searcy, my assassination
was attempted. When about half way frotn
8earcy to the landing, two men suddenly
rode upon me with drawn revolvers, and de
manded my surrender. I, being unarmed,
complied with their very polite request.
After robbing me of my money, watch, Ac,
they ordered me to go into tho brush w ith
them. I knew very well what they meant
they intended that I should not come out
alive. I made up my mind to make an ef
fort for my life. They kept cocked revol
vers drawn on me all the lime, and after I
had taken two or three steps from the road,
I made a lenp, and away I went for dear
life, the assassins following on their horses,
aud firing at me as I ran. Fortunately but
one shot took effect, that passing through
my right arm near the shoulder, inflicting a
very painful, though not dangerous wound.
Finally, through the thick underbrush I
eluded their pursuit, and made my way to a
bouse several miles distant, where I procur
ed a mule sud went on through' the woods
to Duvall's Bluff.
"This is the legitimate fruit' of the teach
ings of the Blair democracy. The plan for
my assassination was laid oy prominent
rebels iu and about Searcy ; they have boast
ed on the streets there that no radical shall
live in that county after Seymour and Blair
are elected, and they are now attempting to
carry out that programme.
"Sioce this affair, the assassination of
another Republican Stato Senator has been
attempted iu another part of the State. Mr.
Barker, of Critteuden county, was shot in
his own house, through window, by so inn
unknown person, three buckshot taking ef
fect in his head anel one in his arm. Ha
now lies in s very critical condition. One
of the men who attempted my life I had
known for two years; h is considered a
respectable man iu the community, and is
backed up by the public opinion of that
couunuuity,
