the property. 1t 10 this injunction case
which is pending now. A decision in
favor of the Belongs could simply let
their writ of possession run, and as
possess those who filed the bills. The
Supreme Court of the United States, IN
the cases referred to, went into an ex'
animation Of Hale's and Rector's claims,
and held that neither had valid claim
to the property. Those curious in the
matter may see the opinion reported in
the case of Hale vs.. Gaines and others,
in % Howard. If that decision has the
binding force which we have all been
taught to accord to the adjudications OF
that court, it is not easy to see how
bills fled by parties With no rights can
be maintained. The Government, how
ever, has never issued patent, and still
holds the legal title-this quarter section
being portion of four entire sections re-
served by Congress from sale till further
orders, by act of April, 1882. As Beld-
ing's heirs were permitted to enter and
pay for this quarter section they pre-
sumed patent would have been issued
to them but for this Reservation Act.
They claim, however, that their rights
date from 1880, were vested under the
act of that year, and that the Reserva.
ton could not divest them. This cues
ton is open between them and the Gov
eminent, and they are confident if it can
ever be properly gotten before the courts
it will be decided in their favor. And 80

1t is truly heart-rending to see how our

and pull hair, and throw dirt, and gouge

particularly about such small and unim-

Not long since the Knoxville Wing pub

JoHEsBoRo. July 10. 1869.
DIR. PEARNE: The work goes bravely
on in our county. Senter stock is going
up every day. There is now but very
few left in this mountain town !" to ad-
yocate the cause Of the Bald Eagle OF
the Mountains" If the election had
come off the middle Of last month Stokes
would have received majority, but now
l can safely insure you that Senter will
carry this county by handsome ma
jority. The people have become aroused,
and the excitement runs high.
Very respectfully, your friend -.
This appeared under the heading,
Upper East Tennessee = The Pros
poets" Whereupon the Stokes journal
at Nashville GENES back in the following
choice language:
Under this flaming, flowing caption the
scoundrel who edits the Knoxville Wing,
thomas h. pearne, publishes what he
knows to be a lie, as a communication to
his dirty, foul and loathsome compsn-
dunn of Islander, vilifcation and abuse.
We have in our possession the evidence
of the best and most reliable men of
Jonesboro and Washington county, that
the letter referred to is a lie, manufac-
tured out Of whole cloth; and, we may
further say, that the Jonesboro CORE,
spopdent willfully and knowingly and
purposely committed moral perjury when
be indited it.
This sort of talk reminds us of the
terms formerly used in speaking OF the
rebels. But these are evil days when
loyalty has to be chawed up in such
savage style.

WOMEN MEDICAL MISSIONARIES IN INDIA.
DIR. Humphrey, of the Methodist India
Mission, was applied to by Nundkishore, Q
native pundit, an officer of the govern.
ment, to establish medical school OF ma.
tive Christian women, Offering to pay halt
of the expense. Mr.. Ramsay, the Com.
missioner, pledged the government for the
remaining half of the cost. DR.. Humph-
rey has, therefore, formed class of seven
married women, native converts to chris
tianity, and two more were to be added
shortly. The husbands of these women
are also pursuing the same medical course,
with view of serving their countrymen
Some of these men are local preachers, and
their medical knowledge will facilitate their
preaching the word. Thus the missions
are breaking down caste, and natives are
entering into the teaching and practising
Christian doctrine and science combined.

The London Daily News says: ION Fri
day, Oct ~, information reached Frome
that an explosion of fire. damp had taken
place in one Of the Newbury pits: The pit
is called the Macintosh, and had only re-
Gently been put in working order, though
1t had been opened fve years ago. 1t il
one Of two worked at Newbury by the Vest
bury Iron Company u.imitctl), the down
shaft being Mt Newbury pit and the up-shaft
pit is ono hundred and twenty fathoms. and
the average seam of coal five feet six inches.
1.-The system of working pursued is the
eight hours shift, and at six o'clock the
night men had come up and the day men
were go ng down. At half six thlr
teen men and boys had been let down, and
the remainder were ready to follow. The
lamps were duly delivered by the lampman,
all Being locked. In few minutes after
the last batch had gone down, q 10 ID
rumbling noise, followed by q shock as of
an earthquake, was heard, and those above
ground were at ence aware that an explo.
sion had taken place. Very naturally there
was great excitement, but prompt steps
were taken to ascertain tho extent of the
disaster, and, il possible, rescue the unior-
tunate men. The bailih, Mr.. Baker, de-
soended the Newbury pit, and on entering
tho main level he found that the door
which separated the pit had been destroy
ed, but he was enabled to secure the frag-
ments, and by this means to restore the
ventilation to the Hacintosh pit, the
draught, it should be understood, being
supplied by an engine into the latter pit.
while the outlet was ct Newbury.
''As soon as practicable there were plen-
ty Of willing volunteers to descend the pit
in search Of their unfortunate comrades.
1t was some time ere any tidings reached
for fully half mile around, great crowd
ensued. The pit gave employment to fifty
mothers and fathers tearfully awaited the
result. When at last the first body came
up the anguish of the scene was if possible
increased. A human form remained and
that WAS about all. The features were
scorched SO as to be almost unreconizable,
and the clothes were burnt or torn apart.
Thus hour after hour tho sad work went on,
despair and hope alternating as the cage
brought up its living, or mangled, or
dead freight. The golfers Of some Of the
other pits in the district had by some
means become aware of the calamity, and
at once struck work to become spectators
of the mournful work going on at Macin-
tosh. 1t was quarter past one O'Clock
when the last OF the untort.nates was
brought up. In tho meanwhile almost the
entire medical staff of tho district had as.
sembled, and tho injured men were CAFE
fully tended and removed to'their homes,
where two of them died, and " regret to
hear that only one 10, likely to survive. The
scene in the pit must have been most APP
palliDg. The dead and wounded had been
blown up and down the pit, and two had
gone into pool of water, whence they were
6shed up by a crook"
