THE SOUTHERN SITUATION--THE
VIEWS OF PROF. FOWLER DE.
SVRER

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 5, 1871
Prof. o. s. Fowler-Dear Sir: Ithas been
my privilege TO attend your lectures in
this city, and must admit they are well
calculated to be of incalculable benefit to
your fellOw-man. l have also been a
constant reader of your chronological
Journal for years, yet l have not the
honor of personal acquaintance. have
on several trips North, visited your "sanc-
tum" in New York. ! have always en-
tertained the most exalted opinion of your
ability as an original thinker-a just and
conscientious man. Entertaining these
views and being in our city having learn
ed, from the Southern press, that you are
now on your return North from profess
sional tour through the Southern States
l have ventured to call upon you, through
this medium, being of Southern birth
myself and anxious to see no injustice
done our people, and knowing you to be
no political Office seeker, your feelings
would not be operated upon by selfish
or interested motives, but by that high
toned, moral sentiment, which has ever
characterized your course in life
towards your fellow-man, that you
give your fellow-countrymen your OBJ
servations and opinions respecting the
political and moral status of the South
ern people as regards LaaO and order, in
contrast with other States North and
West in this government Sir, your repu-
tation is worldwide; your name is a
household n1icrOcOSnl. There is scarcely
q boy of ten years of age that has not
heard of Pref. o. S. Fowler. Anything
yOu may say concerning our people will
be read North with increased interest and
confidence, and will do more to allsy evil
apprehensions and remedy the ISLANDERS,
and encourage immigration to our Sec
ton, than any gentleman that has visited
us for years. We would hail with untold
Joy the return of confidence to our people
and the establishment of that social unity
that once blessed our country. By COM
plying with this request, you will confer
a great good upon this people, and will
ever be remembered with the profoundest
gratitude.
Respectfully your obedient servant,
L. L. COLEMAN, Nj. D.

They rallied in the Avenue de Neuilly and
| opened fire on the Versailles troops, who
appeared on the nights The Communists
were again forced to retire behind the
bridge Of Neuilly, which they barricaded
Their pursuers then shelled and demol-
ished the barricades. The Nationals suf-
fered heavily in attempting to hold the
bridge and fell into temporary disorder,
but succeeded in extricating their can
non and abandoned the bridge, taking
refuge in the houses on the eastern
bank of the river. The Assem-
blists also occupied buildings on the other
side, and sharp fusilade was kept up
across the river. They then pushed across
the bridge and advanced in pursuit of
the retreating insurgents. The guns on
the ramparts of Paris opened heavy fire,
sweeping the Avenue De Neuilly with shells
and checking the pursuit. The Commun-
lists again commenced to throw up breast
works across the avenue, under the pro-
lection of the artillery on the walls, but
were ultimately driven out of Neuilly and
withdrew beneath the ramparts The
fighting, which was desperate throughout,
commenced at 10 A. NJ. and ended with
sunset, at which hour seven guns were
still protecting the gates. The forts are
silent.

McMINNVILLE AND MANCHES-
TER RAILROAD.
Present Condition Of Litigation, etc.
Decree In Chancery.

The litigation concerning this railroad,
and the interest, public and private, mani
tested in the same, has been very wide,
spread and general. On the first Of April
there was large meeting Of the stock
holders of the road at McMinnville, con-
vened by the President and Receiver, Gen.
B. ]. Hill. Speeches were made, and the
agreed case heretofore published in this
paper was read. The decree of the 18th
of March was also read as a part of the
proceedings of the meeting, and other
important action was had, looking to the
future interests of the road. The UNION
AND AMERICAN was requested to publish
the proceedings of the meeting; this we
would comply with but for the
fact that subsequent events in re-
gard to the road renders such
publication unnecessary. We publish
in lieu the action of the Chancery Court
with reference to the road had during the
last few days. 1t has been mutually agreed
by all parties, that Gen. B. J. Hill, the
President of the road, George NJ. Smart
and W. S. Higgins be appointed as Com
missioners to buy the road for the stock
holders at the minimum price, which ls
$500, 900. Upon the contamination of
this agreement, decree was entered in
ChRnoery yesterday, these events giving q
shape to the status and litigation Of the
road not foreseen at the time of the Nc
Minnvills meeting on the LIST inst,
and rendering the publication of its
proceedings comparatively unimportant.
The Chancellor decreed that it appeared
that the Company is indebted to the State
for bonds and interest to Jan. l, 1871,
1892, 578, for which the State has q lien on
the road and its franchises; that the Com
pany is insolvent. The Solicitors Of the
Company insisted that the State could not
sell the road until the maturity of the
bonds, but it was agreed by Solicitors for
the State and the Company that the road
should be sold with the stipulations that
the Clerk and Master shall have proof and
report to the present term of this Court
what is fair and reasonable minimum
value of the property and franchises of
the Company, upon which the court shall
fix the minimum in bonds of the State, said
minimum not to be fixed at less than
$500, 900 in bonds of the State, with the
coupons of January, 1871, and subsequent
coupons attached. 1t is further agreed.
that the company shall have the exclusive
right, within sixty days from the fixing of
the minimum by the court, to purchase
said road; and In case Of failure to COM
plete their purchase within said time, by
complying with the ninth section of the
act Of Dec. 81, 1870; then it wa ssgreed and
ordered and decreed that B. Hill, W. 8.

stockholders OF said company ss may wish

SENATE.
WASHINGTON, April THE Ku-Klux bill
received from the House has been referred
to the Judiciary Committee.
Vermont MOrriIps Opinion of San
Domingo.
Mr.. Morrill,, of Vermont was awarded
the floor to address the Senate sgainst the
San Domingo annexation. While differing
from thu President he accorded him the
purest motives. The Dominicans never
could become homogeneous with our peo-
pc. Grossly ignorant and superstiticus,
reeking in filth and lsziness, regardless of
marriage or its benign power, they would
prove TO us a serious political, moral and
financial burden. Our proper develop
ment was Northernly. Natural laws had
ordained our union with the British Prov.
inces. We should not attempt to postpone
development in the vigorous States of the
West in order to hatch out a new breed of
States in distant seas. The earthquake
shocks which submerged the Dominican
shores for sixty miles were not more por-
tentous than would be the shock in our
political system of a mesalliance with the
West India Islands. The value of Domini-
can production had been spoken of, but
cocoanuts and bananas would not pay off
the public debt.
The Senate took up the concurrent reso-
luton from the House for a joint special
Investigating Committee on the South.
Mr.. Hill, of Georgia, said there
was no organized Ku-Klux and no
general lawlessness in Georgia. Northern
people lived there in perfect tranquility
and travelled day and night in perfect
safety. The industrial enterprise of the
State was not DISTRACTED. asg
The House amendment increasing the
to fourteen from the House, and
sixteen % from the Senate, passed by
party vote; ayes 81, nays y.
The Vice President then announced as
he Senate portion of the committee Scott,
Chandler, Nye, Price, Nelson, Baysrd and
Blair.
After an executive session the Senate
adjourned until Monday.

A Scene for the Picture PaPers-I75
Girls Turn out of Bed before
Breakfast.
The Western Female College at Oxford,
o., was completely destroyed by fire early
this morning. One of the young ladies,
partially deaf, is missing. Four or five
who made a narrow escape from the second
and third stories are slightly injured, one,
it is feared, dangerously. Some had pres
ence of mind to let themselves down by
sheets. Others jumped from the windows
There were a hundred and seVenty-fiVe
inmates at the time of the fire. During
the early morning hours the village pre-
scented sorrowful spectacle. Some young
girls had lost nearly everything in the
shape of clothing, while others were wan
dering about with scsnty supply of -sp.
parel with no relatives to sympathize with
them, and almost wholly dependent on
comparative strangers for board and lodg-
ing, The liberality of the place, however,
was equal 70 the occasion.
Later.
The Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton
and Indianapolis junction railroads are re-
turning the young lady students to their
homes free over their lines. A large num-
Der will have to be left till tomorrow.
Such as cannot reach hame before the Sab
bath will be comfortably cared for and pro-
tected at Oxford and sent home next week.

BARTHOLOMEW SCANLAN.
His Remains and a Post MOrtem
ExAmfnatfOn

The particulars of the killing and throw
ing into Stones river last month of Capt.
Bartholomew Scanlan, and the arrest and
trial of parties accused of the murder,
have heretofore been published in our
paper. The finding of the remains Of the
murdered man down the river in Cheatham
county and the inquest, many weeks after
the event, have also been given. The last
scene in this sad tragedy will be enacted
to-day. 1t will be remembered that
at the time the inquest was
held the remains were inferred at Ashland
City. It was stated at the time that the
remains would be brought to his residence
for interment. In view of his having been
a regular soldier, the troops at the Bar
racks have, we understand, taken charge
of the funeral. The remains will, accord
ing to the arrangement, arrive here to-day.
If no unlocked for detention occur, the
remains will reach the city and be convey
ed to Ash Barracks, where in the afternoon,
by direction q post mortem examination
will be had under the supervision of DR..
h. NJ. Compton. By the examination adj
ditional light is expected to be thrown up
on the details of this killing. The remains
will be left in charge Ct the soldiers at the
Barracks until tomorrow, when the fune-
raj il expected to take place with military
honors.

jackson special tonight says: A bill
passed the Senate to-day authorizing the
Governor TO appoint cavalry to suppress
lawlessness. A bill to amend charter
to the New Orleans, Jackson and Great
Northern railroad was pushed through
the Senate without discussion. In the
House everything else was set aside for
this bill, which was made the special
order for tomorrow. This is the largest
and most magnificent scheme of grab
bling yet presented to the Legislature
McCOmb is here aiding its passage. The
scheme proposes to build the road from
Canton, its present terminus to KosciuskO,
forty miles, in two years, and to Aber-
deem in five years, on condition that the
individuals and corporations on the line
shall subscribe 81, 900 per mile, and that
the State shall cede to him (McComb) all
its interest in all the railroads in Missis-
sippi, the present value of which is esti-
mated at 81, 900, 900 and arises from the
proceeds of an internal improvement

organized bands of incendiaries and cut
throats The Virginia City Enterprise
says that within the past ten years over
two hundred murders have been commit
ted in Storey county alone, or an average
of twenty year. During that time but
one man has been tried and hanged, so
callous has public sentiment became to
crime and so poorly have the laws been
administered. Desperadoes have become
so bold at last that prominent citizens and
taxpayers of Virginia City recently lynch
ed one as a warning to the rest
