According to this excellent author, the President re ferred to Colfax and W^son the"following manner*:’ u With my last vice, Mr. Colfax, r — the ____ F- pro- - f I . part with feelings of foundest variety. My relations • *1 7 • • * t * 1 • with him, as with my other vices, have been cordial. Few men have been endowed by providence with a larger allowance of vital piety or by nature with a shorter memory, the first of which is a preservative of his religious char acter, and the last of his moral in- tegrity ; and while he retires to the enjo. Dyment of private useful- ness, fr< im which it is not prob able fie will again _ emerge, it af- fords gi eat pleasure to reflect that my incoming vice will not fall a particle behind him in either of these endowments. I have feel ings of great respect for Mr. Wil son, especially on , account of his poverty, as he was a. poor shoe maker and a poor Senator, there is every reason to believe that he will be a poor Vice President. ;-------- * --------- A clergyman out west occupy- iqg a leading theatre (bis own having been burned) inadvertent-- ly alluded iu hi$* prayer to the dace where they were permitted ro worship, as “fragrant with hal- owed recollections.” „ m »» J— 4 ’•> : n i i All minds are fissured with in capacities in one direction or an other—clipped away on this side or tbatj; all are fragmentary. 4———— “Leave whiskey alone I ” were the last words of Driver, the wife murderer, /executed in Chicago lately, to his children. Foster, the car-hook murderer, who was exe cuted in New York, might say tlie same tiling. He was under the fatal influence of liquor when he first insulted the ladies in Mr. Put man’s ¡charge, and finally, smashed in the skull of their unfortunate protdc tor. Whiskey had made n> young man of naturally good in- stincts and gentlemanly demeanor, a ruffian and a blackguard; it end ed by making him a murderer. No subh temperance lectures were ever spoken as are contained in these ivi ng illustrations. No man who drinks ir safe; nothing is sq deceptive a3 intemperanc. It in flames the passions, destroys the character, and ends in crime of some kind. “Leave whiskey alone I ’’--coming from .a * murder- er ab0ut to suffer the extreme pen alty of the law, could words be more solemn, or more worthy of consideration ? The following is a dispatch, dated at Memphis, Tenn., April 16th, and it tells the story of a • horrible occurrence in Aransas : . The Augusta s(Ark.) Bulletin. publishes a letter from Thomas Warren of Union county, Ark., giving an account of a' horrible outrage upon and the murderof a white woman by a negro in that county. A few weeks ago a mar ried woman went to a neighbor’s house to remain several days, but found no one at home and started * to return. A negro stopped her horse, took her off, drove, pushed, and pulled her eight miles into bottom lands, where he tied her \ to a tree and assaulted her, keep ing hier there for three days. On the second day, while still tied to • the tree, she gave birth te a child; On the third day the busband of the woman not finding her at the neighbor’s, but discovering her . horse tied where the negro had left it tied, collected some of his ’ friends and began a search, which resulted in finding her dead body’ tied fo the tree, the negro having murdered her by blows upon the bead, inflicted with a club. The murderer was soon after- ward captured by a party of ne- groe|, who were assisting in the searcM. At the husband’s request the negroes built two log heaps, and setting them on fire, placed the negro between them. They were , twenty-four bonrs burning him, and at intervals subjected I him to horrible torture, such as cutting off his toes and strips from his body. Three other ne groes, who were concerned in tho outrage upon the woman, were subsequently caught and shot* 4 J r' A- I I fc L ■ ' -I ; il Hff J f Í < ... ■. ■ " '.......................................................... ■ ” « i t t Í i « i 5 4 •? 4 J. »• » ’ 4 t fi »r* V "4- ?
