He admitted this was kind of legisla-
ton which should be resorted to only in
the last extremity. He would put no such
power in the hands of the President. He
did not believe it was now the only prac-
ticable way of preserving peace among
the Indians. sea
Mr.. Garfield thought 6n appropriation
of five millions, without recognizing the
treaties, would not prevent an Indian
war, while an appropriation of four mil
lions, with such recognition, would pre-
vent it, and he argued that generally it
was the duty Of the House to carry out
promises of treaties made by the consti-
tntional treaty making power. MIR. Sar-
gent made formal conference report on
the subject, and moved that the House
adhere to its position on the bill. The
motion, which terminated the matter and
virtually kills the bills, was agreed to.
Mr.. Dawes then called for a vote on the
bill reported by him, placing five millions
in the hands of the President for Indian
purposes, and stated that if not passed
members be called back to an extra ses-
sion before they reached the railroad de-
pot. The rules were suspended and the

Summary Disposal of Senate Jobs.
The Senate bills on the the Speaker s

They numbered about eighty, of which
twenty-five were for railroad grants The
latter we're objected to even before the

The others were either objected to and
remained on the Speakers table, or were
referred to the appropriate committees, with
the exception of a few public acts, which
were passed, viz: for the relief of the third

THE JUDICIAL CONVENTION.

1 u
County Meetings. Card E-Om l. J
Lowe, Esq.
To the Editors Of the Union and American:
ASHLAND, Tenn, July IL: 1870
While attending the State Judicial Con-
yention yesterday, my attention was cali
ed to the Banler's criticism on the
''Cheatham County Meeting" in which
injustice was done to the proxies selected
thereby. -, -r.
A letter was written, understand,
to the Banner correcting its mis-state-
ments, but it lacks the courtesy to make
the smende honorable.
Instead of that meeting" being 'smanip-
ulatedn by any Nashville gentleman, /
state, as one of the members of that
Convention, and as q member of the Ash
land Bar, that the Convention assembled
after more than weeks notice; that it
was composed of all the lawyers of the
Ashland Bar, and of the most respectable
and intelligent gentlemen Of the county,
and numbered at least one hundred mem
bers. As to the representation of our
county on the part of said proxies being
'sfair and efficient with vengeance" /
can say that the gentlemen selected by US
were those of your city in whose integ
rity, intelligence and high character we
with pride and pleasure conhded- r
Speaking for myself, know no gentle
man in Tennessee in whom could more
implicitly confide the representation of
my county in Judicial Convention, and
in whose judgment and patriotism l
would rather rely, than that gallant sol
dier and noble-hearted gentleman, Capt.
Thos. L. Dodd, of the Nashville Bar,
whose character is that of spotless in
tegrity.
Members of the same profession, prac-
ticing at the same bar for years, fellow
soldiers of the same army in the late
struggle, do feel indignant that, without
the slightest foundation, the Banner
should intimate that Capt. Dodd "manip-
ulated, " or abetted in manipulating, our
county convention, when, In truth, he
knew nothing of the convention, had no
agency in its assembling, and was not
present nor in the county at its meeting.
Cheatham county spurns the charge. She
is as much above being manipulated" by
Nashville" men as Capt. Dodd is above
even voting for an aspirant for Judicial
honors who would stoop to win nomina-
ton by means so unfair. ... ..
Capt. Dodd is a Kentuckian by birth,
but when Tennessee was endangered, he
unsheathed his sword in her defense and
voluntarily took the oath of allegiance to
the State of Tennessee and Confederate
States, and abjured all allegiance to any
other ''Prince, petentate or power"
Adopting Tennessee under such circum-
stances, hope the Banner will not re-
gard him as ''playing the role of carpet
baggern simply because county conven-
ton selected him as one of its exponents
on account of their personal confidence in
his worth. L. J. LOWE.

state Rights in a New Shape-Thc
Case of Pat. Woods.
RICHMOND, July 14.-John Johns, Jr.,
counsel for Pat. Woods, moved in the City
Court yesterday, that a nolle prosequi be
entered in the Indictment pending against
Woods, in view of the fact that Congress
has punished him for the assault on Repre-
sentative Porter.
The Commonwealth Attorney, with the
consent of the Court declined to enter the
nolle prosequi, saying that Woods offense
was against the State of Virginia, and he
must be tried in her courts.
Johns produced the warrant of Speaker
Blaine, committing Woods, but the Court
beld that a nolle prosequi could not be
entered unless it was proved that Woods
has been punished for the offense by some
competent authority, which Congress was

woman and Daughter Murdered.
DETROIT, Mich, July 14.-At an early
hour this morning a house occupied by
Mrs. Phillips and daughter, in Wight
street, was discovered on fire. When the
flames were extinguished the two women
were found dead, their bodies being horri-
bly, mangled. A man named Edward Hoag,
who lived with the women, was arrested
on suspicion. He denies the crime.
Latcr-HarrOyVing Details.
Edward Hoag, the man arrested on sus-
picion of having murdered the two women
this morning, confessed to the deed. Mrs.
Phillips was nearly seventy years old, and
was on a visit to her daughter, Mrs. Clair,
widow who was living with Hoag. His
motive was money, which he endeavored
to obtain by threatening Mrs. Clair. Upon
her refusal to satisfy his demands, he pro-
cured hatchet and struck her several
times on the head. The noise aroused the
old woman, who was sleeping in another
room. Hoag hearing her scream, ran in
and finished the bloody work. Mrs. Phil
lips head was literally chopped to pieces.
After having Murdered both women, Hoag
set both beds on fire by lamp, took his
trunk outside the door and went to the
water-closet, where he remained till the
neiehbors were aroused by the dense
smoke. After the fire was extinguished,
Mrs. Clair was found to have crawled from
the bed. She was removed to neighbor' s
house, and died in about an hour.

SEVERE STORM.
Houses Unroofed and Trees Blown
Down-Damage To the Oat and
Corn Crop.

HOUSES DnrOOfed and Trees Blown
DOwn-Damage to the Oat and
Corn Crop.
From the Knoxville whg, July Il
About 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon a
storm of rain, accompanied by heavy
wind, visited this city, causing serious
damage to property. The storm first ap-
preached from the southwest, but soon
shifted, and ragged most furiously from
the north. The rain fell in torrents, and
the wind amounted to almost a tornado.
The tin roofing on the M. E. Church
was stripped from about half of the
eastern side of the building, and
the rain poured in torrents upon
the seats and carpets of the interior,
saturating and, it is feared, entirely ruin
ing the beautiful fresco work sdorning the
ceiling of the eastern side. The tin roof
of one of the store buildings in the Nc
Ghee block was raised from its moorings
and a portion thrown over the wall. The
tin roofing on the Wing building was
severely blistered, but not materially dam
aged. We learn that the dwelling house
of DR.. Brandeau, on the Montgomery
pike, near this city, suffered severely.
The store house on Gay street, occupied
by John Horn & Brother, also lost the
heavy paraper it presented. The Lamar
House suffered in the destruction of Chin
MES.
Signs and awnings throughout the city
suffered severely. The lawn fronting the
residence of Col John Fl. Crozier, on Gay
street, was filed with fallen trees and
branches from the beautiful grove sur
rounding his residence. The same may be
said of the residence of Mr. Hoss, near the
First Presbyterian Church. The storm
lasted probably an hour and a half The
most serious damage done to property, so
far as we have ascertained, Is that sustained
by the NJ. E. Church.
The damage to the oat and corn crop is
yet to be ascertained. We do not think the
breadth of the storm extended beyond,
even if it reached, the Black Oak ridge, a
distance of less than four miles. But
wherever the storm ragged, there must have
been serious damage to the growing grain,
if not to the buildings, in its pathway.

died yesterday morning from injuries re-
ceiyed on Monday while saving. He
was saving cedar, and had started the
saw into the log, when the log sprang to-
gether so as to clamp the saw. The
bearer-off, as was customary, drove a
wedge into the log behind the saw so as
to open the log. Mr.. Harding not no
ticing that the wedge had been driven in,
backed the log out, the saw caught the
wedge and threw it with almost the speed
of bullet striking him in the stomach,
and knocking him down and passed on
out of the mill. Mr.. Harding lived in
great agony until A. N. yesterday morn

Fish Thinks War Inevitable.
New YORK, June 14.-There was to-day
a renewal of the excitement in the gold
market upon the cable dispatches reporting
an unsettled feeling in foreign markets.
The dispatches are contradictory, one say
ing that Napoleon declared that for the
present the war is postponed; another that
diplomatic relations between France and
Prussia terminated at the instance of Prussia,
the French minister having received his
passports. A later dispatch pronounces
this a canard. In the gold room, however,
the prevailing opinion is that there will be
war. formed on private advices received by
foreign bankers.
Before the formal opening Of the room,
sales were between 1123@1125; the first re.
corded transaction was 1924, since which
there has been an advance in large and ex-
cited dealings to 113} and decline to 1l3t
then the market advanced to 113ss'on cable
dispatches giving quotations of 62s, at SO
in London, and saying rentes were down to
674. These quotations were accompanied
with a report that the French Minister
had withdrawn from Berlin, because the
King refused to accede to the
demands of Napoleon, and that Prussls
should not interfere in the settle
ment of the Spanish throne succession.
Dispatches from Washington were also
received, saying that the Prussian Minister
there had received instructions from his
government to ask whether the United
States would protect German mail steamers
plying between this country and German
ports.
Later kilograms state that the French
Minister mad not resigned; that convo,
cation of the German Parliament was i'm
minent, and that Secretary Fish, at Wash
ington, thought war inevitable. These had
tendency to stiffen gold; but still later {
better feeling was reported in Lon
don, and 5-20 bonds we're quoted
all the way from S74 to S73
On these quotations the German Bankers
were sellers of gold and the price dropped
to 1l3k.
Telegrams from Paris quoted the Frencl
Rentes at 67f 25c, the lowest point of tht
day. This started the war feeling at once
and the price rallied to 113I@ll9E, a
which it closed.
