tit in whether the stain on the step was
blood, or not; but had no means of de
! termiiiing its character. (We have
1 omitted to mention that a bagw as found
1 this night, in the passage, which would i
hold about a peck. In one corner of it, i
( a part of 31 r. .Moon's powder and caps,!
which had been lelt on'a passage table, I
hud been carefully tied up so as not to 1
mix anything else that might be put in j
the bag.)
The next night there were three men
on guard about 1 he yard. One of them ;
stationed at the yard fence, reports
that ho saw a man rise up from among i
a clump ol bushes and walu oil a short
distance and take a position as it to
watch the house. He tired at him with
a shot gun. The man, he says, fell im
mediately, lie fired again at the spot
where he fell. There was no result
from this shooting. Mr. .Moon's im
pression is, the object sh it at, fed just
before the first shot, or it may have
been a man with defensive armor on.
The next night there were ten or
twelve men around the house. Two
of them report that they saw a man
creeping on all fours along the garden
fence one of them shot at him with a
pistol without, result. At a later hour
they saw the same objects, and made
chase, but he escaped among the grape
vines and high weeds near by. .
For some few days the moon shone
nearly all night, and the family were
not disturbed. 31r. 31oon ventured to
leave home to attend the Albemarle
Circuit Court, his neighbors having
volunteered to protect his family.
I'jion returning from the Albemarle
Court on the next Saturday night, a
j neighbor came into spend the night.

in
; ol.argo of t bo lower part of t he mai
j h0fjv of tho house. He fastened ever
un
rv
door and window carefully. Mr. 31.,
in going out of the back passage door
to his chamber, locked the door on the
inside and left ths key in the door to
prevent a false key from being put in
the lock. This night young .Moon slept
at the office, the first time for eight or
ten nights. He says he hail not time
to go to sleep before the dog began to
bark on the other side of the yard, and
he heard some one walking around the
ollice. lie heard also a clank of metal
which he described to te such as sol
window, so ps to tumble if any one j
hoisted it. I'pon being aroused at the i
house, the. baei; pa-iiire door was found i
open. Mr. loon's, fr.end liad bven d'-
zing in the jturlor he had heard some
tioiso onee or twicv. I-i.t iiotliin? to
arouse him. The disposition of ll.'u in -
side of the house they had made thow-
ed that this door could onlv have ncen
opened bv some one who'eamo in al
tho front door and locked it behind
him. The report of voun- Moon's -un
probably Irightcnci. whoever it was,
and lie ran out at the back door, leav
ing it open.
i he next week 31 r. 3Ioon was com
pelled to attend Court again. After
an interval of neveral nights, while two
of 31 r. 3loon's neighbors were inside
the house, watching the front door,
some one came to it, and struck f uxi
ely on the door or sib, from appear
ances, seen through the side and top
lights, most probably with the butt end
of a musket. The first stroke aroused
'he whole family. Ono ol ti.e
fired through the door at him.
.Mr !
Moon's sister-in-law saw him, from an
upper window, run around the corner
oi the house and pause to peep back to
see if he was pursued. Mie fired at
him twice from the wii dow which was
open, with a littlo pocket pistol. He
fell to the "round the first lire, and mo
ve
1 oif
a; i '
r some hesitation. The men
rushed out in a wrongdirection to hunt
f.r him. JIc was seen in t in' yard again
that night. A little closet window
overlooks the sh(d at the back of the
house; the closet opens into an upper
ciiamber the back passage window up
stairs looks across the shed. These
two windows are about six feet apart,
and each fronts across the hi e of vision
irom the other.
Ti.e next night 3!r. M"s sister-in-law
saw from the closet window a tall man
coming from the direction of the ice
house door which is about tweuty
vards from the house. Half his form
was soon lifted above the shed. Jle
had probably stepped on an old goods
box which was by the side of the shed,
and from thai on a high shelf below
the. eve of the
shed. She
iinme
hafely
reported to the three men then onguard
in the house. One of them stationed !
himself ut the back passage wiudo
Jieibro the ladies left this guard, foot
steps were heard on the she 1 the scra
ping of matches was also heard, and a
light s.ten on the shed
The ladv went
back to the closet window the man
on the shed had been alarmed an 1 had
disappeared. In a lew minutes, how
ever, he appeared again, and 31r. M's. i
sister-in-law again reported his pres
ence to the guard at the back passage
window. She went back immediately
to the closet window. The guard stood
ready to shoot him if he came in sight.
Just as she opened her closet window
to look out, she saw a man crouched
close to the wall between the two win
dows a scraping of matches was heard
a light flashed in at both windows,
und the man on the si.ed, rushing by
the closet window on the roof of Mr.
M.'s chamber, fired a pistol at her,
barely missing her head, and singing
her evebrows and hair. The powder
ii.acvened the sale ot the nouse ncit 10
the window, and the
ball struck .,,,,1

irlanced off. The man ran over
ran over .ilr.
M.'s chamber roof, and jumping down
on the other side, c-caped.
Since this laet described night, scv-
eral weeks hav
elapsed, but no night
uas passed m which the i-urgiars oni .
not demonstrate their presence, un- j
mistakably, in some way or other, j
Lights have been thrown in at 3Ir. j
Moon's windows every night, and fro
ment!y over the heads of from ten to
iortv armed men. Sometimes a small
light, no larger than a quarter of a dol
lar is played upon the walls of his
hou-e sometimes a much larger spot
then a broad or narrow streak ; one
times a flash, and sometimes a broad
glare. A bright, ladiating light has
been seen on the shed, at tho chamber
window, and at the office window.
The men who watched in .Mr. .Moon's
parlor last night, say that light was
thrown iu there, they suppose, at least
iifty times, ami apparently an effort
was made to throw the shallow of men
on the, walls. Nearly every night
knocking or scraping sounds have
been 'heard on the sides of the house.
Stones have been thrown on top, or
against the house. Footsteps have
been heard on the shed and chamber

roots windows i.uve ueen open.!, or
attempts made to open them, or some
thing of the sort has occurred.
One morning, a roil of cloth about
six inches long, and an inch in diame
ter, saturated with kerosene oil, and
burnt at one end, evidently a wick for
a largo light, was found on top of 31r.
Moon's shed. On another morning, a
bottle was found in the flower border,
covered with two folds of flannel, and
having a leather string for a loop to
hold it by. The fragments of a broken
glass vessel, probably about the size of
an orange, have been found on the top
of the shed.

thorough accord with the party which
has iiow so generously espoused his
cause. But our obedience to truth is
a consideration far higher than our
persona! preferences; and even be

and Mr.' Stanton, as much as we have
admired and respected him, we cannot
hesitate a moment when, by truth, we
are compelled to impeach the latter and
exonerate the former. If 3Ir. John

ought to have been removed. No

Terrence O'Brien was a peddler by j

the good wife, two children, a boy ofj
scarcely three years, a babe ami the I

of his married life he had rented a little j
cottage that etood in a lonely, out-of-1
the-way place ; although he had increas- j
ed his stores, he had retained posses- J
sion of it on the score of economy.

With Kathleen, however, it was far j
different. As the night began to draw j
near and the wind to creep" round the j
corners of the cabin and whistle down j
the chimney with a mournful sound.!
she bethought herself of the sover-!
eign her husband had left, and taking the i
bag in which they were keptfrom the lit- j
tie cupboard over the lire-place she!
carefully tucked it be! ween the beds,!
remarking, at the same time, to Bridg- j
et, "that no one would ever think, ofj
looking lor it there." 4
"No,"' was t lie reply. "It would b i
a smart, man, share, that would be look- !
in' under the didders to find gould."
The tea over, for they were early
sleepers as well as early risers, the girl
requested that she might, be allowed to
pass the evening With her sister who
resided about a mile distant, and the
anxious wife and mother, although
sorely loth to do so, at length consent
ed, insisting iijion an early return.
"But you will be back early, Bridg
et ?"
''Av ronrsp I will that same. But j
don't be after frettir..'" And the girl j
departed. j
The lone woman busied herself as best !
she might until a late hour, but the girl j
did not return. In a lever of anxiety, !
she watched uiitilfuy another sixty!

I am an escaped conviet-

When was snch nn appeal made to an
Irish heart in vain? An escaped con
vict, and wanting succor ? That is a
tallisman to open evety door to have
the last potato or bite of bread forced
into the hungry mouth. Yes, it is truly
j the open sesame to an Irish heart, an i
it operated so in this case.
1 he woman arose, opened the door,
gave the fugitivo food, and baring
again received his assurance that he
would do Ler no harm, but on the con
trary, protect ber, and having also seen
him stretch himself upon the floor be
fore Ihe remnant of the peat fire, she
again sought tLe side of her sleeping
children.
But even then she wa not allowed
to rest. At first Ler fears kept her'
awake. 1 hen came another loud rap
tor admission, and both she aud her
strange visitor arose.
"Is ihis part of your gang?" she ask-1
ed. in trembling whispers. i
"I call Heaven to witness," he an- i
swered, solemnly, "that such is not (he '
case. Ask the-m what tbev want." !
She did so, and was told that they
i knew she liad money in the house, and '
j were determined to have it. j
t "Toll them," whispered the stranger,
"ii:. or. hav' a t'ri.'iid with v..u, aim
that it will be dangerous for them to'
cuter." " j
'T have .1 friend here," she .aid, go-;
ing close to the door, "a man who will j
protect me, and you had better not try
to get in."
! know better !" laughed a female
voice that ot liridget, the servant girl,
al know that there is no one there ex
cept the children. "
"What shall I shall I do ?" asked ti.e j
poor woman, wringing her hands. 1
"Tell them," again said the stranger,
"that " have pistiii?, and will shoot the i
first one that dares to step his foot with- j
in the door. God help me I T would not
have blood upon my hands, but I prom-1
Ned to protect you with my life, and 1 j
will. .Warn them yet once nine." j
"liridget," shouted .Mrs. 'l!rien,"the j
friend I have here Las pistols, and will!
certainly kill vou. 1 warn You to go j

Again the bold, bad laugh of thescr-t
van l girl rang out, and her voice could j
be distinctly heard urging them on. j
"It's only talking they arc. 1 evi! a I
one is there in the cabin I ut the chil-j
dren. Break down the door, and lej
done with it. I tell you there is more'n j
a hundred pounds hidden between the
beds." I
"Stand bad:," whimpered the convict j
to his ho:.tess. "Their bloods Le upon j
their own heads." j
Scarcely Lad the words been uttered, I
before heavy blows !c!l upon the door,
and made it tremble upon its Lirges.
The fc-olf-sppointeJ protector stood alit-J
tie one side, calm and firm. In either!
hand he held a pistol, and his manner!
showed that he was no stranger to their j
use.
"Down with

A shower of heavy Mows, and it fell, j
The false servant gn-I eritcred.aml drop-j
ped dead with a bullet buried in Ler
i'rain. The foremost of the men met j
the same fate, and the others lied, j
They had had quite enough of Wood-1
shed.
To leave tho helpless woman thus,
was not to be thought of by the kind
hearted stranger, and though prison or
transportation stared him in tie face,
he comforted her as well as possible,
straightened the corpses, and then hast
ening to the nearest magistrate, told
the entire story, not even denying wLo
and what he was.
The facts were too evident to even
bear questioning, ami as a reward for
Lis bravery the convict was pardoned
subsequently found to have been con
victed innocently, and when the hus- j
band and father returned, was readily j
persuaded to emigrate with the family j
to "the land of the free and the home!
of the brave."
Now in one of the Western Slates,
Terrnce O'Brien has a house by the
side of a beautiful river, and not far
from it is another where the once fu
gitive convict has a wife and children
of his own to protect, and both fami
lies will give as an heirloor to their
descendants tho little but true story of
how a pardou was won.
Tie Whcle'story in Brief.
Here it is, from a Republican paper.
It is a confession to w hich we invite
general attention, and hope our readers
will not regret it. The Springlield lie
publican says :
The hope that at least, one Republi
can State Lad declared for equai suf
frage in the late elections we are com
pelled to renounce. 31innesot, which
the iemoerats tauntingly said voted to
let the negroes vote because there are
none there to vote and nerer will be,
has rejected the equal suffrage amend
ment by a majority varying from one
to two thousand. This is to be regret
ted as a virtual rejection of tho tir&t
principles of Republicanism, and as in
creasing the dilliculiies of reconstruc
tion : for say what we may of the dif
ferent circumstances of the South, the
people of that section cannot but feel .
that it is an outrage to force upon them
a measure we ourselves reject, and
which involves much more disagreea
ble consequences there than in the
North. .Minnesota and Kansas hav
increased the embarrasment and perils
of the Republican party almost beyond
calculation.
Railroad Combinations - Large Scheme.
A few days ago, 3Ir. Vanderbilt, of
New York, completed arrangements
which made him the controller of the
New York Ontral, the Hud-on River,
and the Harlem railroad, and he now
holds a!! these great lines in the hollow
of his band. It is said that he is pre
paring to enlarge to combination by
adding ta it Western roads running
through Chicago to Omaha, so as to se
cure ati uninterrupted through line all
the way from New York to Missouri,
and ultimately to the Pacific.
A Chicago dispatch to the Cincinnati
Commercial also states that a large
Southern railroad combination is boio-r
effected, in opposition to Vamlerbilt's
northern through route to the Pacific.
The plan contemplates a fusion of lines
between St. Louis and Philadelphia,
with the Pennsylvania Central, and
with the 3Iissouri Pacific and Union
Pacific from Kansas City. Tho first
move is to be the sale of the Missouri
Pacific by the State, and an effort will
be made as soon as the Legislature
meets. Should this sale be negatived,
however, a combination will be effected
through tLe west branch of the North
Missouri railroad, which will be com
pleted to Kansas City next summer.
Wtere the Land Goes.
Congress has appropriated from time
to time and tho first grant is not
many jears old to aid railroads, 124,
000,OOU acres of land. It has also
given to several States 57,58S.0t)0 acres
and including amounts to wagon roads,
it is estimated that in the aggregate
there have been -on?-eded 1-4,813,900
acres, of which quantity, the govern
ment has given a certificate for about
twenty-one million acres. This quan
tity of land exceeds, by more than five
millions of arrcs, the entire area of alt
ti e New Kngland States, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Mary
land, Delaware and Virginia. Besides
this general outgo, the government re
ceived from sales last year SI. 3 47,62.
Agricultural land scrip, military and
bounty land warrants, under the home
stead laws of IfjfiS, '04 and and
railroad grants also made great de
mands nvon the West. The area of
the public lands, exclusive of Russian
possessions, is now l,4'jo.-'5S,?iOO acres.
In the new purchase there are f.ll,
539,0i)fl acres, making a total of acres
owned bv the I'nitcd States of 11'.1,-l-.40.
