' BALTIMORE, MD1 Iebl2-deod4wl7 CHOICE BITS OF NEWS Gathered In Gothani and Told by a Southern Journal 1C H. 6. in Atlanta Constitution. New York, March 13. The night that the funding bill passed the House in amended shape General Grant was beseiged by his friends to write to Hayes and urge him to veto it. He re plied that he would have no communi cation with Hayes about the matter, but agreed to write to Garfield, and ask him to impress upon Mr. Hayes the im portance of vetoing the bill. His rela tioas with Garfield are close, but he has little use for Hayes. He says the point for Garfield to turn his attention to is the establishing of close relations with Mexico and China and Japan. girard's failure. The example of Mr. Girard, who left his fortune for the establishment of Girard College, and made the condition that no clergyman should ever enter its grounds, is imitated by Charles Edward Forbes, who has just left Northampton, Mass., $300,000 for the establishment of a library. He provides that no clergy man shall ever have any connection with it, and that no sectarian book shall ever be admitted to its shelves. I suppose the spirit of his bequest will be flanked as Mr. Girard'a was. While no clergyman has ever entered Girard College grounds, certain earnest lay men have seen to it that the young col legians have had the best of religious advice ana attention, in this connec tion, Judge Dwinelle, of California. who died last month, prescribed that no clergyman should attend or partici pate in his tunerai, ana that no reli gious services should be held over his body. The Rev. Mr. Collyer. discuss ing the fate of George Eliot's soul last Sunday, said : "It has gone to heaven, ecause it was too grand a sotfl to go any wnere eise i JAY GOULD, CABINET MAKER. Jt is said that Jay Gould is the se cret power that made up the cabinet ana indeed that nominated Garfield. The story goes that Blaine was oriei- nally Gould's candidate, which accounts rortae furious support he received from the New York Tribune, and that when it was found Blaine could not be nominated, a trade was hatched up by wnicn tne corporatioas were to be uro tected in the administration, and the transfer was made. There is no doubt that the New York THbuue's influence is great with Garfield, and that Blaine is the friend of subsidies. It is even said that Windom, the anti-monopolv member of the cabinet, owes his place to Dorsey, who is a jobber and the friend ot jobbers. 1 see little reason to credit the story that Gould having sus tained Blaine's preliminary campaign has secured a cabinet that is under his special influence, but there is just as little reason to doubt that corporations will be nursed and new enterprises fos tered by the present administration. iiarneid may be amiable enough to let the jobbers run over him and establish themselyes in the treasury crib, but he is hardly accounted a dishonest man The fact that he is worth les3 than $15, 000, is proof that he lias not profited by nis public service. O. W. WILLIAMS'S LATE PARTNER. At Delmonico's, the other day, I saw a youngish-lookine: man, careless in his dress, and with an air of discourage ment and recklessness, come in and .take a seat alone at a table. It was 3irnie, the ill fated partner of George Williams, whose failure a year or so ago, was discussed ail over the coun try. There is said to be little cause for the partail seediness of his ajppearance, as lie is reputed to have, enough money to live comfortably on. He was worth about $300,000, 1 believe, when he fail ed. Had he been able to havaeovered his contracts for three or four days longer than he did, he would have cleared nearly a million dollars, as the tide against which he had staked every thing, turned just alter ne went under. I find that he has many friends here, who extenuate the circumstances un der which he failed. I do not think he is doing much at present, but he is a bold and daring operator, and may come to the front if, as his appearance seemed to indicate, he has not attempt ed to lose his troubles in drink. RAYMOND'S GHOST. I had a talk with Jno. T Raymond the other day. He is looking badly and seems unable to comprehend and enjoy the success that has come to him. There is a far away, plaintive look in his face that suggests the pathetic side of the character of Sellers. He had a hard struggle with the world, and when some one congratulated him on the success of "Sellers," he replied sad ly : "Yes, old fellow, but it has come too late." There is something inexpressi bly touching in the old, childish face, that it always seemed to me Twain must have studied when he created the shabby but glorious Don Quixote of fi nance, and that Irving must have draamed of when he gave shape and substance to Ichabod Crane, the vague and uncertain schoolmaster. I saw it once looking out of Delmonico's win dows at a procession, and it had the seeming even then, of Sellers in a de pression or the pedagogue in a melan choly dream of plenty. Raymond is to be married this month to a charm ing actress, and is nightly filling the Park with delighted audiences. He must be a rich man now, and yet love nor money seems to be able to lift the shadow that lies in his honest eyes, and clouds his lovable face. How sel dom itis that all the felicities find home at once in the same human heart'! Railroad from Fayellevillu to Meu liettsville. Laurlnbnrg Enterprise. We learn from the Hamlet Argus that the requisite $50,000 for the organ-! ization of a company to build a railroad i Irom Bennettsville to Hamlet, was! subscribed at . a mass meeting held in Bennettsville Monday of last week. We are persuaded that our South Caro lina friends would much prefer to have a road from Bennettsville to Laurin burg, if the Fayetteville & Florence Bail road Company would meet them at this place instead of tapping the Carolina Central at Shoe Heel. To do this, the latter road could very easily turn from Floral College, four miles from Shoe Heel and seven miles from Laurinburg. What say the F. and F. company ? Spring: Races in Wilmington. Wilmington Review. - The old race track at the Hopkins place, about four miles from this city, is being put in thorough order and a trotting elub has been formed in this city. In a yeiy , short time the ante bellum spring races will be indulged in and efforts are being made to get noted horses to trot on the Hopkins track. There are several very fast horses in this city and even, if horses from other places cannot be induced to come here f there can and will be some fine racing i between horses owned in the.city. WAIFS ABOUT TTOMElf. Women love always; when earth slips, from them they take refuge in heaven. A pen portrait of Isabella II f Spain says that she is fat, fair, fifty and also frolicsome. We meet in society many beautiful and attractive women whom we think would make excellent wives for our friends.' It is not easy to be a widow ; one must reassume all the modesty of girl hood without being allowed to feign its ignorance. Madam de Oiradin. It has been suggested that farmers should pay their daughters: for labor as they do their sons, and allow them some social freedom, in order to pre vent them from longing for city life and seeking it. One of the most beautiful models in Paris is a young, woman who comes from the blue-grass, region of Kentuc ky. Shejsras deserted by her husband abroad, and she how supports herself by posing. "Makepeace," the Washington cerres-i pondent of the Tjroy Times, says that during Mrs. Garfield's visit there in No vember she told a Wdman with whom she was breakfasting that she ' had no intention of interfering with the use of wine on state occasions at the Whitei House. A curious story comes from Coshoc ton, Ohio, of a young man, giving the name of Frank Evans, who drove a stage for a year, voted for Hancock last fall, did all that a beardless youth might be expecUd to do and, on being arrested on a charge of theft the other day, turned out to be a woman. Who she is or what her history is she refused to tell. North Carolina's Special Tax Bonds in Conrt. Raleigh Farmer and Mechanic. In the New York Supreme Court last week, the case of the Receiver of the People's Savings Bank against H. H. Van Dyke, C. H. Loutrel, and R. McMurray, former trustees of the bank, was decided against the latter. The charge was that in October and No vember, 1868, they purchased $40,000 worth of North Carolina bonds; buying them from some of the rogues then ruling and running our State. Next year the bank saw that there would be no chance to force the State to pay the fraudulent bonds; so they sold three fourths of the amount at a big loss. They still hold $10,000 of the bonds; but they are pronounced worthless." Judge Barrett's decision is good read ing even though delivered in a New York court. He held that "under the charter of the People's Savings Bank and of the general laws relating to such institutions, the purchase of the North Carolina State bonds at less than par, was illegal, and the defendants are all liable for the damages resulting from such illegal purchases. As to McMur ray, who claimed he was not liable be cause he had not acted as trustee for six months, Judge Barrett says: "His position in the eye of the law, looking simply at his acts, is that of a trustee who abandoned his duty. He should bear the consequences of this inherent negligence. Ordinary and reasonable attention to his duties would have en abled him to discover and check these purchases. . In the present instance he had especial reason to be on his guard because of what he had heard respect ing the purchase of Tennessee bonds. It is said that so strict a rule of liability will be apt to prevent men of wealth and standing from accepting such an office. It is to be hoped that, where there is no intention to fulfill the duties, it may have just that effect. There is certainly no particular severity in re-! quiring him to be something more than a mere figurehead to attract and mis lead the public." . The "Watson Forgery Case. Raleigh Farmer and Mechanic. The House of Representatives at tempted some investigation of the Watson-Newell forgery case; based on a motion to expel Watson, Republican negro from Edgecombe, made by Hon. John Manning. Messrs. Neweli, Wat son, and others, with the page, White head, were examined .under oath. The result proved complex. Some, members who had set down Watson as jjpilty be came satisfied of his innocence:; while, others, who had thought him innocent. became convinced of his emit. Others! doubted if Newell told a straight tale.'. Others laid the blame on Solomon: Geer, a negro file-tender. Finally, the ; presumption of innocence was given to Watson, and the presumption 01 guilt was fixed on Geer; for the former was not expelled, and, the latter was, on mo tion, discharged from any farther at tendance on the House. As for the real wrong, "a Philadel phia lawyer" couldn't tell who hit him. WORKINGMEN.
