A SPECIMEN Of white mans justice to
the led man is complained Of as now TO
be seen in Omaha. Several Pawnee In
dams are in prison there, charged with a
crime (murder), which was never proven,
and of which not one man in one hun
bred of the community believes then to
be guilty They have been so long in
durance that the editor of the Omaha
Herald says they are being absolutely
murdered under the forms of the law, and
are plainly the victims of the hatred of
race. Such facts are not likely to make
the plains any safer than they might be
for white emigrants.

a RESPECTABLE man in Philadelphia
was arrested for using insulting language
to a neighbOr. 1t was shown that his
wife was habitual drunkard, and was
encouraged TO be such by the neighbor,
who loaned her money on the articles she
took from her husbands house and shop.
The immediate proVoca'ion the husband
had for using insulting language was this.
The neighbor lent the drunken woman
five ce2ts on a frying pan, and when the
husband went TO redeem the dyspepsia
breeding article, an additional five cents
was demanded for interest. This was the
straw that broke the camel's back.

A Sabbath school superintendent, after
inveighing against the 'pernicious prac-
tice" which some well -intentioned persons
indulge in of telling amusing stories to
children, went on to give his children
something more to the point, and which
should in no manner create amusement.
He would tell them about Peter. 'tAnd
who was Peter!" he asked. No reply.
"What :" he exclaimed, ''can none of
you tell me who Peter was ?" At last a
little boy, about four years old, held up
his hand in token of knowledge on the
subject. "TheTe's boy-a little boy
who can tell me who Peter was, said the
superintendent looking reprevingly at
the larger children. '.Now, my lad, tell
US who Peter was"
''Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater,
Had wife and couldn't keep her,
was the triumphant response.

NASHVILLE BOARD OF TRADE.
Meeting Of the Committee On EW-

grants for Tennessee.

Meeting Of the Committee On Em-
migration Scandinavian Emmi-
grants for Tennessee.
The Committee on Immigration held a
meeting yesterday morning at the rooms of
the Board of Trade, aud after consultation
and deliberation, decided to request the
Board 10 invite Rev. r. c. Blitchfs ldf, of
Mobile, to visit this city. A lengthy circu-
lar was read, from which we condense the
following points
Mr.. Blitchfeldt, who is now established
at Mobile, where he has an ONCE for the
direct importation of European labor, pro-
poses to make contracts for the
importation of Scandinavians to the
South, by way of Mobile. Mr. B., it is
stated, was formerly Lutheran clergyman
in Scandinavia, and il we'll acquainted
with large number Of the citizens OF Den
mark, Sweden and Norway. He is highly
spoken Of by prominent citizens of Selma,
Ala, and Mobile, and is said to possess
peculiar qualifications for the work
to which he is now devoting his attention
He proposes to procure reliable Scandi-
navians, and have them brought direct to
Mobile, and his terms are published in his
S-ASNi-A. OOAhS BoAtAoAnaA VI OOAciuoh-
able means, and being moreover greatly
interested in the future prosperity of his
countrymen, be labored, it is said, in this
work for some time without receiving any
compensation. The Mobile and Ohio
Railroad Company, finding that he was
making laudabls attempts to introduce re-
liable labor, gave him certain salary and
passed all ScandinaYians brought by him
free over the line of their road, and he
has, as we understand, already induced
from fifteen hundred to two thousand
Scandinavians to immigrate from the
Northw stern States to the South. He
now proposes, as We have stated above,
to import them direct from Europe. He
has signifed his willingness to come to
Nashville, and the Board of Trade will, no
doubt, tender him an invitation. The
Seandinavians who are settled in the vi
cinity of Chicago, are highly spoken of as
intelligent and reliable laborers Mr. B.
proposes to introduce, not only laborers,
but small capitalists who viii establish
manufactures and other industrial enter

Locomo,ion by Steel Springs.

The williamson journal of yesterday
thus notices a new invention of John NJ.
Cayce. a mechanic Of Franklin:
We witnessed on Monday the practical
working of a new invention, the result of
the skill and ingenuity of Mr.. John NJ.
Cayce, a citizen of this place, whose sue
cess in inventions of a useful character is
fast making his name familiar in all the
States of the Union. The invention re-
ferred to above is a combination of power
produced by steel springs, and intended to
be used for propelling all kinds of light
machinery, such rs sewing machines and
the like, and also buggIes, carriages and
street cas- The machine, when We saw 1t,
was attached to a blower intended to sup
ply gas pipes with oxygen, and moved with
a steady, inexhaustlble power, which In
sures its success in this department and
demons rates the fact that an application
of heavier springs, or larger number Of
small ones, will do all that John Csyce
claims for his invention. The machine is
so arranged that he can in a moment de-
tach or add another spring, thereby de-
creasing or increasing the power at will,
the entire machine being under the perfect
control of the operator.
We are not sufficiently acquainted with
machinery to explain this invention thor
oughly, but are enough SO to see that this
is emphatically a success.
Mr.. Cayce has already put in operation
his other inventions, the most important
of which is his 'Patent Portable Forge, "
which is destined to take the place of the
old-fashioned bellows altogether, it being
much cheaper, more durable, and better
adapted for the purposes for which the bel
lows is used.

New YoTF, lNovember s. Correspondence Of the
Albany Argus.

New HOrE, November 81 Correspondence OF the
Albany Argus.
Yesterday, a beautiful autumnal day, l
spent in q drive up the Hudson. Cross
ing over the ferry 10 Hoboken, drive of
five minutes from the Elysian Fields
brought me to the fatal spot, where, in
1904, on the 18th of July, Alexander
Hamilton was killed by Burr. Formerly
marble monument erected by the St.
Andrews Society, marked the exact spot
of the fatal encounter; and even as late
as last year, when | visited the spot,
cedar tree, against which Hamilton stood,
while the seconds were arranging the pre-
liminaries, was still standing. Now, how
ever, the nearly completed bed of the
West Side Railroad has destroyed the
tree, besides every vestige of the narrow
ledge on which the principals stood. AT
ter the monument had disappeared, two
granite powders occupied its place, with
the names Hamilton" and Burr" in
scribed upon them respectively. After
a somewhat protracted search, we
found the one marked Hamilton"
but the one with E'Rurr" on it was no
where to be seen. Inquiring Of gang
of track layers in regard to it, the fore.
man informed US that it had been used as
a keystone in a culvert just above.
"Could you not" we inquired, ''have
used another stone in its place, and pre-
served this memorial" 'Well, yes" an
swered the foreman, "and told the boss
he had better lay it alongside t'other stone,
but he said Burr was blasted mean cuss
anyhow, and he guessed it would be more
useful as cuTsing stone than keeping
alive his memory.

CENER1J RESUITS


II is only necessary to look at the actual
work which the Germans have accomplished
during the last thirty days to be convinced
that, if the military power of Napoleon is not
broken, it is at least seriously if not irretriev-
ably damaged.
o. The French had two important natural
lines of defense on their northeastern frontier,
to wit the Vosges Mountains and the Moselle
River. The Germans passed through the
yosges after their victory at Worth. They
passed over the Moselle after their victory at
FOrbach.
(2.) The French had formidable series of
defensive works, extending from Thionville to
Strasbourg, and including, beside these points,
Metz Toul, Nancy, Phalsbourg, and other
towns The Germans have taken some of
these fortified places, have put others under
siege, and have neutralized all of them, so far
as their influence on the aggressive operations
of the German army is concerned.
(3) The French had two great armies, or
rather one army which German strategy cut
in two-that under MacMahOn, and that under
Bazane. The Germans defeated MacMahOn's
army at Worth, and drove it sixty or seventy
miles westward, damaging it so badly that it
has never been able to take the field since.
The Germans also defeated Bazaine's army in
all the great combats near Metz, and finally
on Thursday of last week, gave it a shatter
ing defeat in the terrible battle of Grayelotte,
after which this army of Bazaine was COM
PEELED to take refuge behind the Notifications
of Metz, where it is now besieged by portion
of the victorious German troOps,-fragments
of it having been cut of.
But even these extremely important general
results-the overcoming of the natural de-
fenses of the cnemy's country, the capturing
or neutralizing of his strongest artificial de-
fenses, and the destructive defeats of both
parts of his great army-do not by any means
represent the sum total of the German achieve
ments. One of their armies has been march
ing through France directly upon Paris, and
is now within a short distance of that city,
1t has no great natural lines of defense to
overcome; it has no strong artificial works to
assault or bcsicge-the enemy having deserted
even Chalons; and there is no opposing force
to encounter it, until it meets TrOchu's army
at Paris. The other of the German armies is
encamped in the vicinity of Metz beseging
Bazaine there, and ready to deal with Mac
MahOn If he goes that way. 1t is, OF course,
within the range of possibility that TrOchu's
force at Paris may crush the victorious army
of the Crown Prince, and we cannot say it is
utterly impossible that the often-defeated
troops of Bazaine and MacMahOn should win a
victory over the triumphant army of Prince
Frederick Charles. But we shall not believe
in the possibility of these events until after
they have taken place.

Industry in the House and in the COMMITTEE
of Ways and Means. His position on that
important Committee gave him power, which
he used in defense not only of the imper-
lied industry wherein his district Is largely

land County presents candidate who can
serve the district more ably and efficiently
than Mr.. NJ, we trust that candidate may be
nominated, but not because he lives in par

enough belittled by the geographical test OF
fitness for seat, which we hope to see en-
tirely broken down. man is no more and
no less fit for so high trust because he lives
on this or on that side of an imaginary line; ;
and we entreat that the selection of candI-
dates be henceforth governed by higher and
broader considerations. Let ability, fitness,
and worth have all possible consideration, to
the exclusion of tape-line measurements or
imaginary boundaries. SO only can Congress
be restored to its palmy estate in days lang
