praise of the honesty of the adniiiiHtra
tion no weight with the people and
the entire radical press is now engaged
in apologizing to the public for the
unfortunate position General Grant is
placed in though being endorsed
wholly by men who the people believe
are unworthy of public confidence. On
the whole, tho situation is rather
damairintr ono to the president. The
aversion of his friends who arc none of
them above suspicion, to having the
uffairs of the government investigated,
bears on its face the look of conscious
fear, and the matter is not improved
any by the excuses offerred by adintu
Ntratfou papers for Grant's unpleasant
predicament, and their iuuendoe at
the character of his advisors.

An intelligent French traveller in Per

winter, a revolution followed by n change
of rulers would bo irreistiblo. This fnm
ino is in a largo degree traceable to tho
llritinh cotton supply usyociation, aided by
iirltish power and diplomacy, to build up
an extended cotton culture in J'crsm as u
ivul to our own American product.
There uro no railroads in l'ersla, and their
common roads are mere unimproved paths,
trodden by beasts of burden, carts boing
nlnio.t unknown, so that as agriculture it

Irrigated by subterranean eaniils running
across tho country for miles, it wilt bo
seen how little chance there is for relief in
caso of a failure of the crops. To reiulor
tlio cotton culture safe, it would bo nccos
sury for tho government to establish roads
by which rood could bo transported to the
cotton districts. Ilut this was neglected,
and tho dearth of provisions has increased
graduiliy to a liimino, indeed, the caso
was not much dillerent from tho famine in

Uneasiness repined into nlarin, iilnrm into
actual terror, wlitu at last,
A LETTER FROM IIAI.LOL'
Dated Oct. 15th, 1870, announced the fact
thnt young Golden had absconded witli all
tho money, which had been temporarily
intrusted to him a tow cnys boioro ins reg
ular time of departure.
THIS FEARFUL NEWS
Struck tho unhappy parents like a thunder
bolt. Atter a lew weeks, wncn tho edgo
of their suffering was u little blunted,
1IALLOU ARRIVED.
His manner was exuuisituly tempered
with a dignified repression of his own sens
of wrong, buroly ullowod to mnko itself
fult; nnd a delicate exhibition of sympathy
and tenderness for those whoso sensibilities
hud been so cruelly wrung, So perfect
was his diabolical hypocrisy and sell-com
mand, that it warmed the hearts of tlio
stricken family into deeper fondness for
him. He pressed his wooing of tho ami
able Clara, and married her only nino days
after his arrival, dressed in tho"

.MAN.
Tho assassin hud carried out his long
chorished purpose on Octobor 15, tho vory
day on which tlio letter announcing tho
nbbt'Oiidiug of young Golden hud been
dated. Seducing tho young mnn into tlio
depths of it donso chaparral, near Mclvin-
noy, Texas, innccossibio except to wild
beasts, ho had butchered him with an axe.
There the body was left to bo picked to tho
bones bv vultures, tuikey-biiz.iirds nnd
wolves.
AFl'ER THE MARRIAGE.
Within a few days after tho nuptial
ceremony hud been performed, the moil
ing miscreant who had so cunningly plan
ned his crlmo ur.d provided for its eon-
continent, sought to consummate his har
vest of tho liuul Irults.
Ho delicately hinted to his futher-in-luw
that ho thought It would bo only right fur
tho bitter to givo him u farm, since ho hud
lost so much by tho rascality of IiIh eon.
This was agroed to by tho almost heart
broken .Mr. lioldon, Ucspito tho nngrv
remonstruiiccs of his brother, and ho drove
into Qulncy to havo his lawyer prepare
tho deodar gift.
THE THIRI1 ACT OF THE DRAMA,
Up to this timo villany had been tri
umphant, but thojuslico of God was sharp
ening its sword for retribution. Col. W.
G. Kwlng of Qulncy, district uttornoy, on
being consulted by -Mr. Golden, was sing
ularly struck by thowholo train of circum
stances, Tho fearful thought flashed
through his brain, with tho forco of an in
tuition, that young Golden had been iissas.
slnuted, and that tho wholo course of
Ilallou was n subtly-concolved scheme
to get possession of tho old farmer's
property.
To shorten a long Ktory. Ilallou was
arrested on a chargu of procuring money
under false pretenses, 'lho wretch stood
puraly.cd with fright, and great btuds of
sweat poured irom nis iwiiening lorciicnu.
Taking heart, though, from tho nominal
cause of ills arrest, ho abjectly offered to
give up all lho notes which ho hold ngainst

This was done, and ho was instantly ur
