General Grant, In conclu- sion, said nothing had been said to him about the removal of General Howard: but if it were accomplished, for reasons already stated, it ‘would be inexpedient and of no practical bene- fit sorthe colored race for Mr. Langston to ac- cept the position. rT, Langston then urged General Grant to de all he could to have General Howard re- | tained for the good of the colored people, as be wae satisfied be bad been their true friend, and stated that, looking to the good of the col- ored people and to the interest of the Govern- Ment, he could noi conseni.to accept the po- sitign, And that he would not accept it for tbe farther reason that he fuily believed it to be offered. to facilitate the removal ot General Howatd, and to embrace the best Interests of bis race. In this connection it is proper to state that during the interview between Mr. Langston and Jobnson, the latter said that he felt com- pelled to remove General Howard, and de- Douneed him in the very earnest terms. He in- timated that the removal would occur very soon, and was particularly urgent in his de- sire to persuade Mr. Langston to accept nis offer —Chronicle. Dry Geods.

In most descriptions of foreign goods there has been a good demand trom the jobbers, and woolens have been more lively.

A.D. iller offered a resolution authorizing the Ex- ecutive Committee to call a mass meeing, to be held on Tuesday, September lv, to advance the interests of the new Constitution. J. H. Barnes thoughi the meeung should be held at an earlier day, and suggested mass meetings in the three legislative districts, because if a general mass meeting were held the people would be present “by the acres,” aud no speaker could make himself heard, and offered his suggestion in the shape of an amendment, but subsequently withdrew it, and the original Proposition was adopted.

She urged me, Jaughingly, to go and see Mary Gilroy, the girl confined in the same jail on suspicion that she was &n acceseory to the murder. The conduct of the criminal in jail during the past week or two has been variable. Gen- erally she is very cheerfal, but she has on one or two occasions lost her spirits and cried aloud, s0 that she could be heard ontside of the walls of the prison. Last Friday two wome of bad character were arrested for drunkeness and bronght to the jail. Oneof them asserted that she hada young child. and padet ‘Se her release that she might go and attend tot.

Mrs. McIver, unknown to the family, had gotten up and gone into the yard. no one knew why or wherefore, and Mr. McIver, hearing some noise out there, awoke his son—a young man nearly growo— and told bim some one was out in the yard. The son took his gunand went tothe yard. and seeing some strange object near where the fowis were. shot at random in that direction, und saw the object fall. He them went to the house and told his father that he had shot some person down, and about the same time the cook woman came in and said someone was burt near the fowl-house. Upon going there the dreadful truth burst upon the aroused household, that Mrs. Mclver was shot in a vital part of her body by her own son. One shot penetrated the brain, but she was able to peak, but not fally conscious of her situa. ton, as she labored under the impression that somebody had struck her a blow upon her head. Physicians were promptly sent for who pronounced the case hopeless. Mrs. Mclver lived about three hours after receiving the wound.
