SUPREME COURT FRAUDS. - This morning,
In the Supreme Court, at the suggestion of
Judge Sharswood, q rule was asked for against
Mr.. Snowden. By this, after the evidence
submitted, it is not intended to imply tina.
Mr.. Snowden has been himself criminal in the
matter, but it is to see II his subordinates
have been equally faithful. We expect con-
idently that Judge sharswood, with sincere
desire to vindicate the honor of the Court
will grant the rule. It is only preparatory
motion, and will tend to the exposure Of the
fraud. If it is not granted, it would imply to
the public that full investigation was denied.

balance of the cost of main tanning the life and

small sum remaining due OF the cost of prevent
ing the establishment on the American couti-
nent Of two great military republics, each of
which would have drafted the first born of
every household for Its standing army or navy
Il is the unpaid balance OF the cost of securing
TO the American people perpetual peace In lieu
OF what the Democracy proposed-incessant
war or armed neutrality, such as the States of
Europe maintain. Mr.. seymour, you prove
that you little know the American people by the
expression to Mr. IngeIs )ll OF your belief that

was buried at Reading. stephen was buried
at Feversham Abbey; but at the Dissolution
his body was taken up and thrown into the
river. Henry III was inferred in his royal
habit and with his crown, In the Abbey of
Fontevrault Richard II was buried with his
father, clad as represented in his efigy. In
1897 the tomb of King John, at Worces-
ter. was opened. His head was covered
with q monks cowl as a passport through pur-
gatory. The body OF Henry III was laid In
the coffin of the Conlessor; Edward 1 was
buried with his royal robes; Henry v, at Can
terbury, without these insignia. AT the end of
the fourteenth century the custom of burying
in royal costume was discontinued, and an
ef1gy on the coffin exhibited instead. AT diff.
ferent times the tombs of Edward w and
Richard II have been opened, and in 1913 that

RAILRoADs.--Besides the conductor, each
train carries an engineer and fireman, two
brakemen to every six cars, a baggage
master, who often acts as a brakeman, and
an express agent.
The salary of an ingineer may be rated
at from $50 to 500 a month, q conductor
at SIS, a fireman at $50. The expressman
receives about S75, the baggage master
and the breaksman cash $50, station agents
$40, track foreman $50, and laborers 81
per day. Engineers are sometimes paid
by the day, and receive from So to $3.50.
More pay is given usually on coal burn
ing than on wood burning engines, on ac-
count Of the great heat suffered, and the
injury to health from the gas emitted.
Great care is required in watching a coal
engine. 1t is with them that a majority
Of the explosions take place. If any OBJ
struction exists between the water tank
and the boiler, water cannot be pumped
from the former, and an explosion en-
sues.
The cost Of an engine varies from Sl5,-
900 to $4,000, and a car costs about
$1,000.
The wear and tear of a road is rated at
ten per cent. annually. The average du-
ration of a rail is about nine years. 1t oc-
cassionally becomes useless in less than
one year, and sometimes lasts fifteen years.
On twenty five miles of road at least half
q mile of rails must be replaces annually.

The Iron-CIad Oath.


Chief Justice Chase seems inclined to
dispense with what is called the Iron
clad oath" as test for grand jurors, on
the ground that it rather hinders than
helps the ends of justice.
The oath is to the effect that the per-
son who takes it has never voluntarily
given any aid or comfort of any kind to
any parties engaged in rebellion against
the United States; and the law author-
ICES the Chief Justice to dispense with
it in his discretion. Judge Chase finds
that so many men who are best fitted
to serve as jurors have scruples about
taking this oath that the ends of justice
are hind0red and defeated, rather than
promoted, by requiring it in every case.
Unless, therefore, some special occasion
arises to require it, the Judge decides
that it need not be administered, and
directs another jury to be summoned in
the usual way.
The general Judgment of the people
will approve this action, and regard it
as the harbinger of peace. 1t shows that
the fact of having given aid and COM
fort to the rebellion in some way, how
ever indirect, is no longer regarded as
evidence that man cannot or will not
obey his oath, or do justice in court OF
law to persons arraigned for trial. We
hope the time may very soon come
when this oath may be dispensed with
altogether, as test for office involving
either civil or political duties. That IL
should ever have been required as
condition of serving on juries seems
absurd, though cases might arise in
which voluntary and active partici-
patton in the rebellion might warp the
Judgment and lead to an unjust YER
dict.
But we are glad to see that in the
opinion of the Chief Justice the time
for such fears has passed away, and
that the "iron-clad oath" need no longer
embarrass the administration of justice
in the Southern States. We hope Con-
gress will deem it wise to dispense with
that oath in good many other cases
in which it is now required. An oath
to support the Constitution and obey
the laws of the United States ought now
TO be sufficient.

Dend Mans G ulc h.

In California a miner had died in a
mountain digging, and, being much re-
spected, his acquaintances resolved to
give him "square funeral" instead OF
putting the body in the usual way In
any roughly-made hole, and saying by
way of service for the dead, thar goes
another bully boy under" They sought
the services of miner who bore the
reputation of having, at one time OF his
career been powerful preacher IN the
States" And then, Far Western fash
ion, all knelt around the grave while
the extemporized parson delivered a
prodigiously long prayer. The miners,
tired of this unaccustomed opiate, to
while away the time, began lingering
the earth, digger fashion, about the
grave.
Gradually looks were exchanged
whispering increased, until it became
loud enough to attract the attention o.
the parson. He openeS his eyes and
stared at the whispering miners. "Wbat
is it, beysi" Then his eyes lighting OIL
sparkling scales of gold, he shouted
"Gold, by jingo! and the richest kind o.
diggins'-the congregations dismissed.
Instantly every man began to prospect
the new digging-our clerical friend not
being the least active of the number
The body had to be removed and buried
elsewhere, but the memory of the incl
dent vet lives in the name of the locali
ty. for "Dead Mans Gulch" became on'
of the richest localities IN California.

Advice 10 Western Negroes


To those unfortunate loyalists OF
Michigan and Ohio, who are of the COL
ored persuasion, and who have been
refused the inestimable right to vote
for white men for Office, we have word
TO say with reference to the promising z
State of Iowa. Iowa is young and
thriving State. Its hills are few, its
prairies are productive, its lead and
coal miues inexhaustible, and its game
abundant. 1t is the New Jerusalem to
which should gather themselves the
oppressed Africans of the two States
above mentioned.
Let the colored loyalists take our ad'
vice, and pack up their busters, their
white W ashing aud oot-blacking brush
es. and start for the Hawkeye State
There will they have recognition, as
men ard brethren, as women and Sis
ters. They can roam over its pralrles
in boundless freedom. Its smoke
houses are full of juicy bacon; 'possum
lurk ia its wooded heights; hen -coops
are plethoric, aud are never locked at
nights, as is the custom among more
suspicious people.
Iowa is the paradise of the down trod
den and dusky descendants of Ham
Let thom go thither singly, in couples,
in scores, by fifties, and hundreds. Let
them roll thitherward like an ocean OF
ink. The grand young State has opened
wide it's brawny arms, and says to buck
niggers, to wenches, to pickaninnies, tc
everything black, tan, black and tan
saddle -colored, molasses tinted: Come!
Rush, oh! Africa, into these expectant
arms, as the bride flies into those of bel
waiting husband.
Iowa is a chivalrous young State. Let
its chivalry be duly appreciated. Let
its population be swelled by seoty
streams of immigration, until it be
crammed with the last niger that car
find room upon its soil, and until there
| is not left an interstice sufficiently
large enough for five-pound pickanin

The Pollard Tragedy-AnotherC Card

The pollard lrhSeuy-<tuotneE S"f"
J. Marshall Hanna, the associate edi-
tor of the Southern Opinion, in a card
lust written, makes the following state
ment in reference to his connection
with the article which is generally be-
lieved to have been the cause OF MIR.
Pollard's death:
81 was the associate editor of the
Southern OpiniOn; as such | wrote the
most of the original articles that have
appeared in its columns. Much | wrote
of my own volition, and more | wrote
by special direction of the editor-in-
chief. prepared that article which
cost the editor his life. II ,cGS prepared
bv his direction. Afterwards, convinc-
ed that this publication would be ina
politic if not unsafe, | asked that the
article might be modified, expunged al
together, or the names left blank, or
filled with initials that would have LETT
the case without local habitation.'
The article had passed from the control
of the associate; it was then the property
of the editor-to print or withhold. he
was responsible, not /; and no matter
how much l had desired the assump-
ton, II. Rives Pollard always assumed,
and never evaded, the responsibility of
every line and paragraph printed IN the
OpinioH. Il am responSible' y was his III
variable response to applicants for re-
dress.
"No; the blood of II. Rives Pollard,
our late associate, is not upon our hands.
We are innocest in the sight of God,
and shall prove ourself innocent in the
opinion of men. ! never consented to
the descent of the Southern Opinion from
the lofty pinnacle it once held; | never
willingly prostituted its columns,
though have at times prepared para
graphs for insertion that | know caused
me keener pain than it did those for
whom they were intended"
