Mr. Griffin is insane, and goes to enter the State Lunatic Asylum. Mr. Griffin’s case is a sail one, and one of peculiar interest. He is about thirty-five years of age. and has never shown any symptoms of insanity until recent ly, when he was attacked with typhoid fever. At one time during his illness he told his fami ly and those around him good-bye, and said be was going to die. He was in a very critical condition, and had every appearance of a dying man. He gradually grew weaker and finally became unconscious. After lying in a comatose state for some time, and after all hope of his recovery had been de spaired of by his friends, he revived. As soon as he was a>de to speak it becvme evident to ' those around him that he was laboring under L a strange hallucination. He insisted that he r had died, and, like Christ, had risen again; i that he had been given, white in heavtm, oo- j equal powers with the chosen Bon of God, and had come back into the world to ‘save soul*.’ i He refused to eat or ta’ie any medicine for ! several days after recovering from the critical | state above mentioned, and nourishments had i to be administered by force.” The Cartersville Express makes this state- | ment: “Early this morning a cavalcade of j men tiled into Robert-’ siables. and as several ' carried carbines, it was instantly supposed to : be a revenue party.

Miczkopy. June Id.— Editor Morning News: Tliis is in some respects the most desirable portion of East Florida, and will be so ad mitted by any one unprejudiced, and with an equable ainouut of candor. All who come here and examine for themselves are enrap tured with what they now see, and what the near fu’ure promises—good lands, pleasantly loeated and rapidly settling up with an intelli gent and industrious population from all sec tions: the home of the orange, with every man an orange grower, with an adaptedness for all other fruits peculiar to the climate. Till reef Otly our want of proper and easy trans portation has been a serious drawback, the nearest shipping point being Arredondo, twelve miles distant, on the Transit Railroad. Now we have on the north a steamboat navigating the placid waters of Pain’s Prai’ie, with land ing two miles distant, connecting with the Transit Road at Millard’s; and on the cast another steamboat, with landing four miles distant, connecting with the Peninsula Road on the east side of Orange Lake, giving us g cfttly increased facilities for getting to mar ket The Gainesville. Ocala and Charlotte Harbor Rail.oad, now being rapidly con structed, w 111, wb„n completed, run through this immediate neighborhood. But, with all tills, our people are not happy. The im mediate present is giving them great concern. The citizens of Mica - opy aDd surrounding country have organis.ed themselves into a Fruit and Vegetable Growers’ Association, that they may. if possible, by corc-rt of aefiOD. more readily redress some of their many During the past winter and spring a general and vigorous effort w*s made, and every tiller of tie soil resolved to push his section forward, pecuniacd'-.

Location, climate and soil all favoring, each grower uad a legitimate right to expect to make a handsome percentage on his invest ment, to make his homo comfortable and his wife and children wear suiting and happy faces. In due time abundant crops weie raised and thousands and thousands of orates of choice were sent forward, leaving the hanpy owneg in blissful ignorance of their fate. But alas. “Thebest laid schemes o’ apee an’ ujen. Gang aft aglce. An’ lea’e us naught but grief an' pain, For promis'd Joy." Now after all ihe toil and anxiety (not tp count the expense) incident to this business, the commission man (instead of a g. od healthy cave! -pel sends a postal, saying your stuff lias been received afttr a delay (and no one seems to know where) of eight, ten and even tv elve davs. iu a detayjng and unsalable condition, will bareiv pay freight, ami m many instances not even that much, ana wind,* up with tip- pithy request th 4 you remit atyoqr earliest convenience an amount suneient to cover the debit .side of your account.

And, while toe coun try baa bgen almost impoverished, the com mon carrie/s **e filling their coffers Thisstate of things cannot &>ui s’lU not be submitted to. The goose is now in a mi.rh.und condition, and if there is not a radical change fcr the better by the carriers, the truck farmers w U engage ic sue other occupation which will be loss . liable to imposition and uncertainty, and there will be no mote golden eggs to count.

CHARLESTON’S FEARS FOR HER FUTURE. How She Hopes to Protect Herself —The Approaching Sale of the South Carolina Railroad—The Leg islative Commission Grappling with the Railroad Problem Charleston’s Building Boom Good Times for Mechanic*. Charleston, June 19 —Ever since the failure of the purchasing committee of tbe South Carolina Railroad to comply with the terms of the Wadley lease of the Georgia Railroad, a feeling of great uneasiness has prevailed here as to the ultimate fate of this important feeder to Charleston. The failure of the New York committee to comply with the term3 of the lease and the subsequent explanation of the reasons of that failure, viz., the refusal of the Farmers’ Loan and Trust Company to take the pledged securities which, it is alleged, they offered, has crystallized the feeling o fear into an active movement for protection. It is al leged here that the agreement under which the New York purchasing committee are acting has no clause in it which makes it obligatory upon them to purchase the road. The only words which refer to this subject are found in the paragraph which provides that “upon any sale of the property said purchas ing committee may, through an agent or in their own names, purchase, etc ”—a provision, it is claimed, which is only permissive and by no means obligatory. It is urged that in the event of the committee not being over scrupu lous they might have availed themselves of the recent high prices and sold out the bonds and stock of the road held by them; and that the Charleston bondholders, who are enjoined from selling, have no guarantee that the road will not be permitted to psss into the hands of friends of the committee for a sum far below its value and upon some secret understanding looking to a division of the profits upon a future resale for a higher price. In order to provide against such a con tingency, the Charleston syndicate, who are not in the New York agreement, have prepared an agreement, which is now ciiculating for signatures, and whi ’h has for its object the protection of the Charleston interests. They contemplate bidding upon the road at the sale which is announced to take place on the 28th of July, and running the price up to an amount sufficient to satisfy their claims. The agreement is that, if the parties assent ing purchase the railroad, they will make a new consolidated first mortgage for $5,000 000 in 6 per cent, gold bonds, having forty years to run; these bonds to be applied (1) to the pay ment of the present first mortgage debt, (2) to the exchange at par for 2d mortgage bonds held by parties to the agreement, and (3) to provide for the settlement and adjustment of the floating debt of the South Carolina Rail road secured by the pledge of 2d mortgage boi ds and held by parties to the agreement. The holders of the 2d mortgage bonds and of the floaling debt agree to accept payment of the principal and interest in the new first mort gage bonds at par. In the meantime the ftate is making prepa rations to grapple with the railroad problem. A joint legislative commission to revise the railroad laws of the State has been in session here for several days. The representative rail road men have promptly accepted the invita tion of the committee, and have laid before them many reasons why no attempt should be made to regulate freight charges by legisla tion. The merchants of the city, from whom most of the complaints about unjust freight discriminations come, have, on the contrary, been very backward in coming forward, and the committee are at present flounder ing in a sea of doubt, and confusion. The boom of building and improvements which has set in here has produced some very tsngir.le and gratifying results. For the first tim - probably in the history of Charleston the wages of the working men have been increased without any overt demand on their part. Bricklayers and masons, who never before commanded more than sl2 per week at the outside, now get from $3 50 to $3 per day, and in some instances as much as $3 50. Carpen ters, who generally considered themselves well paid at $7 50 to $lO per week, now get without the asking from $lO to sl2. This increase in prices is accounted for by the large number of buildings in the city that are in course of con struction, especially iu tbe direction of cotton factories, phosphate mills, railroad d> pots, school houses and other enterprises of a pub lic character. The w ork on the cotton factory has only commenced. As it progresses the demand for skilled labor will be largely in creased, and the outlook for the mechanic and working man ip Charleston is altogether b ighter than it has ever before appeared. M. THE MADISON MURDERERS. Tlie Trial of Savage and James—Tlie Motion to Quali the Venire Over ruled—The First Panel Exhausted.

An Interview In Wblcli He Crlti> else* Davis’ Book. A Pittsburg dispatch dated 16th, says: Gen. Grant passed tbrough this city to-day en route to New York. In an interview with a Times reporter the General spoke as fol lows about Jeff Davis’ book : “I have only seen extracts from it in the papers, but am not conversant with all its contents. I was highly amused, however, (and the General laughed at the thought of it-,), by his descripilqn of how pe wa3 golrig to fescape by throwing the man off the horse, and the rest of it, The idea of Jeff. Davis doing a thing of that uind is absurd. A man seventy years of age, for years an invalid—a coward—for Jeff. Davis was always a mortal coward, although he had great moral courage—it was amusing.” “What do vou think of the attack he made on vou’” “I didn’t see that. I read his attack on Sherman and Sherman’s reply. I indorse all that Bherman says, and 1 think he might have gone further. I would have said that while the Union forces didn’t burn Colum bia, they had a perfect right to do so; that a precedent had been established by the rebels. Columbia was the capital of a rebel State, and a State which had leff in rebel lion. It was fottlfled and pould only be taken by assault. On the other hand, as soon as the rebels got aboye Mason and Dixon's line they commenced to burn. When they got north for a few days, just across the border to Cbambersburg, a town without defenses that was never garrisoned during the war and had no one in it but women, children and non combatants, they sacked and burned the town. They then pushed on to York, another town without troops or de fenses, and with only women, children and non combatants iu it. They demand ed a sum of money, several hundred thousands I fiopT know the exact sum-.-or the town must be sacked or burn ed. The sum was scraped together and the town was saved; the people are paying in terest on the bonds to-day. They never re pudiated it, and are still carrying that debt made by the rebels. What other precedent was necessary for burning a jgbei town? But Sherman djd pet fiui'ir Columbia. The rebels fireff it before he got there, and it was the Union forces who saved the place from total destruction. This I would have said if 1 had been Sherman- but, of coarse no two men tMnl: of tfie srewe point in Siak7 ing an skewer; qnleSs ittey 'cOnJulted aboßt ' “What attack deps fie make on me f” ITn one place fie refers to the difference in the loss both of men and money in your advance, and that of McClellan on Rich mond, and makes a comparison in the lat ter’s favor,” “I captured Lee's army,” was the dry answer, characteristic of the man who was being interviewed. He continued, “I think the book will do good,” “in what way ?’• *‘lt will not affect any Union men, and may have the effect of driving Davis’ old associates to the right side.” The proprietor of "a circus In panada, who tQ bring his sijow into the United States for exhibition, applied for the admission of his elephants free of duty, with the plea that they should come under the head of “tools of trade.” The application was referred to the Treasury Department, and, after much deliberation, the officials have reached the conclusion that elephants are not “tools of trade,*’ and tne circus man must pay duty on them. The British soldiers’ and sailors’ graves in the cemetery at Malta are ne glected and desecrated.

STRANGE CASE OF SUFFOCATION Particulars ol the Death of a Catho lic Priest and His Brother In min neaota. St. Paul (Minn.) Pioneer Press, June 10. Rev. D. F. Hayes, the resident Catho lic priest, and his brother Jerry, were smothered to death in the town of Cor coraD, Hennopin county, Minnesota, on the night of the 9th inst The unfortu nate men were spending the night with a family named Molan, in Corcoran, and slept in a small, unventilated room, and upon retiring are presumed to have turned down their lamp and left it burn ing. They were doubtless suffocated by smoke and the poisonous gases genera ted by the lamp, which was in fragments upon the partially burned stand, where it had been left. It was apparent that the lamp had exploded. The Coroner, after hearing the testi mony of the members of the family of Patrick Lion, a brakeman of tbe Chica go, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad, who had accompanied Jerry, the younger brother, to the ill-fated house.decided that a formal inquest would not be necessary. Mr. Lion’s narrative was to the effect that he and the brothers and the family spent the evening together until about 10:30 o’clock, when the brothers retired, leaving word with the lady of the house not to call them until late. The brothers were assigned to adjoining rooms to those of the family. No unusual noise was heard by the family during the night, nor was anything wrong suspected until nearly 9 o’clock, when smoke was discovered issuing in considerable volume from the room oc cupied by the brothers. Mr. Lion made the discovery and gave the alarm, and Molan got some water, forced the door, and threw it into the room. Upon en tering the room a sickening spectacle greeted them. The room was dense with smoke and burning oil, and fire was smouldering in the washstand and in the partition of the room. Father Hayes wa9 lying on the floor on his right side, his head toward the washstand. Jerry was lying crosswise on the bed, face downward. Both the brothers were clad in their night clothes, and quite dead. The bed clothes were in great disorder, as were also other articles in the room. There was every evidence that the broth ers had been unconsciously struggling for aid, but were so far overcome that they could neither escape or give the alarm. The room over, as well as the one adjoining this chamber, was occu pied, but their last struggles were not heard. Grant and Badeau. Hartford Times. One grievance mentioned by General Grant, in proof of the Sputrageous” treatment to which he and his stalwarts have been subjected by the Garfield ad ministration—it “comes from the ad ministration, but not not from the Presi dent,” lie says—is the removal of his dear friend, General Badeau, from the London Consulship, and his exile to the dreary waste of Copenhagen. General Badeau is in this used for a diabolical purpose; nothing less than the slapping of General Grant himself in the face. It amounts to that, and “the administration” knew it and meant it. It is outrageous. Here is Badeau, who has won distinction by writing the “Life of General Grant.” It was an elaborate work, designed to do good service in aid of what is now, alas, the lost cause of the third term. In an ticipation of General Grant’s nomination a year ago, at Chicago, Badeau sent over from London the stereotype plates of his great work. So sure were Grant and his friends of a renomination, that the duty on the plates was paid, instead of leaving them in bond to await the result at Chicago. Nobody but John Logan, Emory Storrs, aud one or two other “in siders” will ever probably know the ex act gauge and quality of Grant’s verbal brimstone, when, by the sudden springing of “Charley” Foster’s Qhio trap, tjip vybple big blown bladder was collapsed, and ail the plans of four years overthrown. Badeau’s book.and Russell Young’s book, “Around the World,” were only minor wires that were being pulled to the same grand pur pose; the stalwart ring vein, the b’hoy element of the Republican party, was the main reliance. But “the best laid schemes of mice and men gang aft aglee and this third term scheme Collapsed (h --gloriously. Probably grant sees,nbw,that it canpot be revivedand he begins to talk. Some of the pent-up bitterness is coming out. Meantime, General Ba deau’s alleged “Life of Grant,” written for a party campaign purpose ratheffthan for truth, is stirring up much bad blood by its severe attacks on prominent mili tary men. One of these was General Meade, and for him the testimony of Grant himself is now cited, against the attack made by Grant’s particular friend, now the exile in Denmark- A- letter from Grant is produced, dated December 23d, 1864, in which the writer says; “General Meade is one of qur truest men and ablest officers. |} e has been constantly with that army confronting the strongest, best appointed and most confident army in the South. He there fore has not the same opportunity of winning laurels as distinctly marked as have fallen to the lot of other Generals; but I defy any one to name a comman der who could do more than he has done with the same chances.” Badeau can digest this at fiis leisure, in the quiet of his new retreat, while Gen. Grant can go on and expose the outrage ousness of the treatment he and hi? stal warts are receiving. - What Will Mr. Blaine Do About it} Baltimore Gazette. The boundary matters of Costa Rica and Colombia promise another opportu nity for the revival of the “Monroe doc trine.” The two governments are said to have agreed upon a treaty submitting the question of boundary to either the King of the Belgians, to the Ring of Spain or to the President of th? Argon tme Republic. The United State's has, by treaty, guaranteed the sovereignty, independence and integrity of the terri tory of the United States of Colombia. What will Mr. Blaine do about thh at tempt to invite the or arbitration of thg e ire tie monarchies of in the affairs oi tbe more effete Republic® of Central America. This reference of the boundary matter to European arbitration is believed to havn b?eu suggested by M. de j esdepa as S’means of consolidating European influence in isthmian matters against the United States. The New Grenada treaty of 1846 was designed to extend the protecting power of the United States over the whole isthmus, and neither the people nor Government of the I nited States will likely consent to European influence of any kind that lessens or effects in the least the power or right of the United States to control the passage over the isthmus.

ESTABLISHED 1850. CABS BUN BT ELECTBICITY. Success of the Experiment at Ber lin—Description of the Railway* N. T. Times. The railway is built from a small village called Lichterfelder to the prin cipal cadet school in Germany, nine kilometres from Berlin, and is two and a half kilometres in length. The width of the track is one metre, the rails are of steel and rest on cross-ties of wood—in fact the whole road is constructed in the ordinary manner. The dynamo electrical machine is placed a short distance from the railway, and is driv en by a ten-horse power en gine, which furnishes the current of electricity, which is conducted by means of an insulated cable underground to one of the rails of the railway. From this rail the electric fluid passes by means of the tire of the car wheel (rest ing on this rail charged with electricity) by a system of springs in contact and rubbing against it to the electric engine fastened underneath the car, and, after serving its purpose in driving the engine, is conducted to the tires of wheels on the opposite side, and from these wheels to the opposite rail they are in contact with, thus completing the electrical circuit. The tires of the car wheels are insulated from the hub and axles by the use of wooden disks. The electrical engine is placed equidistant between the two sets of car wheels under neath the car. Its rotating shaft lies parallel to |the two car axles. On the end of the engine shaft is a small grooved pulley, and connected with the car wheels are drums with similar grooves. Small belts made of spiral steel wire connect the pulley and the drums, one set of belts running to the drum on the front wheel, and the other to the one on the back axle. By this arrangement of steel belts the power is transferred from the engine to the car wheels. The starting and stop ping of the car and engine are arranged by the movement of a crank on either platform of the car, which breaks or con nects the electric current. There are also a car-brake and bell signal, all within easy reach of the conductor, who can run the car as well as receive fares and tickets. The car itself was built at Cologne, and is similar to a one-horse car on an American horse railway. It is hand somely fitted up, and can be run either way without turning. By resolution of the authorities, the rate of speed 13 limited to fifteen kilometres an hour, but on the return trip from the cadet school, with twenty persons on the car, it ran at least thirty miles an hour, at a steady, con tinuous rate, proving that a high speed was attainable. A Class of Confederate Claims. New Orleans Picayune. In the year 1863, while New Orleans was occupied by the Federal forces, Gen. Banks issued an order directing the banking corporations of the city to pay over to a designated officer of the army all monies in their possession to the credit of any person registered as an enemy of the United States, or m the service of the Confederate States; and also all moneys belonging to any asso ciation or pretended government in hostility to the United States. These funds were to be held and accounted for by the Quartermaster’s Department, subject to the future adjudication of the Government of the United States. Under this order, personal property was seized in New Orleans, and proba bly similarly taken possession of in other parts of the South. An important ques tion arises as to the title of the govern ment in these cases. It has nothing to do with the claims for deal ruction of properly by the army, but refers to the right to recover the proceeds of the sale of seized property or money in bank, which have been turned into the United States Treasury. Article 5 of the amendments to the Federal Constitution says; “Nor shall private property be taken (by the gov ern mentj for public use.” Also: “No person * * shall be deprived * * without due process of law.” The title to real property derived from confiscation by the government is only good during the life of the original owner, even when in the hands of ap innocent third party. cannot see in what respect thy case of personal property, taken without due process of law, differs from that of real estate, ex cept that it may be more difficult to trace the former than the latter. If the heirs of persons convicted of treason can recover confiscated real property, why not the money delivered up to the military authorities on a special order, from the commanding officer, which seizure the Supreme Court has pro nounced illegal ? It may also be asked whether rebels are excepted frp tne operation of the constitutional provisions which have been, cited. 'We do no,t undertake to discuss any of these questions, but sim ply throw them out as interesting legal points, which may possibly elicit some controversy, and suggest that where there is go much justice in a claim Con gress will some day place the claimants in a position to establish their rights. Under the law as it now stands only the claims of loyal persons can be consid ered. Real lawfully confis cated, can be by the heirs by an g£tio* at law. But money or other personal property unlawfully seized, having been turned tyto the Treasury, it could only be reached by a suit against the government, which is not permitted except through the permission of an act of Congress, When so much responsibility, wealth and power is concentrated in the hands of one man as to make the unfounded rumor of his death a powerful engine to unsettle business and depress values, there is cause for serious alarm, The tendencies of the times aye such that so much importance is attached to the lives, health a,nd movements of single railway anmoneyed magnates that sharpers are encouraged to circulate false rumors, with a view to bearing the stocks of which the subjects thereof are deemed to be the ;u the hope of profit ing thereby, ft has come to light that a clique of unprincipled operators are already working their cards in this man ner regarding Jy Gould, a&d that they hied a a W esterr. telegraph office a falo report of his being shot, which, happily, exploded before the intended resuit was accomplished. The fact that such plans have been formed indicates also the danger that some desperate specula tor might plan a real assassination of Gould, Vanderbilt or some other of the great financial kings, and profit by the panic which would inevitably ensue in the stocks controlled by them. It is a misfortune to the country that so much wealth, power and influence is concen trated in a few men’s hands. —Pbiladel phia Record. Mrs. SpHAoyE and Roscqf..— Gath say# > “I was told this afternoon that Mrs. Sprague was at the St. James Hotel, two blacks above the Fifth Ave nue Hotel My informant was a guest of the same hotel, who happened inci dentally to ask one of the hall boys if Mrs. Sprague was around, and the boy said yes, she was up stairs, and Mr. Conkling, too. Thsr© was considerable inquiry for Mr. Conkling at the Fifth 4vcnu'e Hotel, and it was known he had gone out. That Conkling is determined to have anew party or to triumph at Albany is sure. Mr. John Moore, who is building the Mutual Union Telegraph Company, said to-day: ‘I am with ConkliDg in the fight. Those ftlaine men at Albany I know something about, and they are all lobbyists and traders, To my mind is no doubt but that Bradley’s story is true-dhat Sessions offered to bribe http. J don't have much respect for Bradley for telling of it, con sideling that Sessions was his neighbor, and then Bradley was no pink of perfec tion. But it is what everybody would expect, and the attempt to distrust it by saying that Sessions was too corrupt to be picked out to be bribed is laugha ble,’” g otrfor. Wm ,§§l POWDER Absolutely Pore.

ENGLAND A1 ARIZONA ENDORSE THE. lathiM Piano. ~ , ~ London, May 27, 1881, Messrs. Ludiien dt Pates: The Mathushek Piano you sent me seems to stand the damp English climate better than those manufactured here, for it keeps in per fect tune and has never fallen. It is greatly admired. MRS. HICKS. Glodb. Arizona,*April 16,1881. Mathushek Piano Man' fg Cos., New York: Gentlemen—You have never solicited from me an endorsement of the Mathushek Pimo. I therefore feel it is a duty I owe you to write you what I think about my Mathushek, bought of you over a year ago. It is here in a mountain town 3,500 feet abovo sea level, where the at mosphere is very dry, and where furniture, such as chairs, for instance, hoid together but a short time before they must be wired; the thermometer ranges for seven months in the year between 95 and 110 degrees. This Piano came here by sea. around Cape Horn, and was over three months 011 the salt water, vet to day it is in as perfect order and condition as when I bought it. and what is more wonderful, it baa hardly a not© out of tune, and the power and volume of sound is as strong as ever. IT HAS NOT BEEN TOUCHED BY A TUNER IN OVER TEN MONTHS. Two or three parties coming here to live have brought new pianos of other makers than yours; when they arrived they were pianos, but now they sound like bones in a box. I thought I would write this letter simply for your own satisfaction, as I am, from my resi dence in this warm climate, competent to say that the Mathushek Patent Piano is the one suited for these countries, and as our camp grows I shall personally recommend them to any one wishing to purchase A PIANO.
