appeared, certainly without any rejection upon the
supplies on board ship, the guests at the table, now
testablshed on nrmer and more congenal bottoms,
was satisfactory evidence that the meal was highly
appreciated. The hotel itself was commodous and
judging from its appearance, had seen the ups and

Singular Accident.

While some workmcn were en-.
gagged in repairing the water tank at
Ashland, on the ID. V. RR., on last
Saturday, the tank which was partly
filed with water, burst with loud
report, and hurled some of the work
men distance of fifty feet from the
tank.
One of them, named David G..
Miller, was terribly mangled, having
his upper jaw bone fractured, and a
large portion of the scalp peeled off
entirely from the skull. He was
brought up on passing train, to the
Depot Hotel, in this city, where he
received prompt attention from DR..
W. L. Orr.

the call Of the Committee--in accord
ancc with the report of James e.

road Convention held at Ottumwa,
Iowa, the 18th Of March last,-in or

ing and delivered an excellent address,
and was followed by speeches from
Chas. lngles, of Plattsburg; j. +. Har-
wood, Cameron, and VIM. Leonard
Birncy, of Plattsburg.
The following preamble and resolu-
tons were then read and unanimous
ly adopted:
The citizons of Cameron and vicinity,

cron, Mo-, May sth, 1869, for the
purpose of securing tho location of
tho Leavcnworth and Ottumwa

case it should require vote), but by
money and means, do all in their
power to give the right Of way thro'

to aid by their influence in securing
the operation of every citizen along
the line ofthe proposed route.
RESOLVED, That we, the citizens of
Cameron. being fully aware of the
greatimportance ofrailroadsto North

greatly depends upon our action in
regard to tho Lcavenworth & Ottum-
wa and st. Joseph & st. Louis Rail
roads, express our willingness to aid
the companies engaged in the con-
struction Of these roads and that in
our opinion it would be for the inter-
est Of Clinton county and for the
County Court to order an election to
be held, so as to submit the PROPOSE
| ton to the people, of increasing our
county bonds to such an amount as
| will secure the permanent location
and early completion Of both lines of
road through Clinton county.
Resolued, That we, learning that the
Lcavenworth T. Ottumwa Railroad
Company have proffered and propo-
sed to locate and build said road thro
Cameron and Plattsburg, and equip
said road from Leav enworth to Cam

Suicides.

The Davenport papers have long
accounts of the mysterious death of
Mr.. Moses Brotherlin, of Lie Claire,
in Scott County, who was recently
found in his field with the top Of his
head blown off, and his gun near by.
The fact that he was under indiet-
ment for defalcation as Deputy Col
lector of that county, and other sus-
picious circumstances, lead to the
belief that he committed suicide.

dent of the N. Y. Tribune, at Attain

black and tan prostitute, attempted
to kill her, after which he shot him.

A Good Order

BY the recent consolidation of the
Regular Army, about one hundred
officers, from Colonies down to Sec
ond Iieutcnants, were left without
commands.
A recent order assigns them all to
duty, with Col. Ely Parker, the In
dian Superintendent of Indian Affairs
to be detailed as Superintendent
and Indian Agents.
1t appears that this assignment is
strictly in accordance with an old
law of Congress, and thus this sur.
plusage of officers, and their assign.
ment to this duty practically carries
out the recommendation frequently
made by Grant, Sherman and Sheri.
dan, to-wit: the transfer bodily of
the Indian Bureau to the War De.
partment.
A fruitful cause Of our intermina-
bic Indian troubles, has heretofore
been the frauds of the Indian Agents,
the middle men between the military
and Indians, who have been too often
appointed from among the most yenal
Of the politicians, and who have
went out to their posts, and in CONN.,
vance with the Indian traders, have
made it a point to rob the govern
ment and Indians blind, so that at
the end of their four years of office.
on nominal salary of fifteen hun.
dred dollars, they have most gene.
rally managed to retire on princeIv
fortunes.
Patient, long-sufcring Uncle Sam
has had to put up with this thievinp:
but frequently the Indians have he.
come outraged at their wrongs and
indlscriminately wreakcd their ven
geance on the first unprotected pale
faces they met, to be followed with
.',,"',on oy the whites, and a gen.
erai indian war has ensued during
which time your rascally Indian
Agent was robbing both sides with
unusual profit and activity.
The Regular Army officers can en-.
tlroly dispense with these middle.
men, and pay out the annuities issne

inc manner OF Quartermasters and

already in the government pay, it
