Trial of Tanning Mill.-The trial of
the Eureka Tanning Mill, at Scott g. Bro. s
Ware House, with a lot of very dirty wheat,
gave general satisfaction, we understand,
to all who witnessed the trial. Mr.. E.
Whitaker had a lot Of screenings at his
mill, which he had been selling for so cents
a bushel. He put the screenings through
a Eureka Fan and extracted from each
bushel and half, half bushel Of wheat
worth $1.25 bushel, leaving bushel of
screenings worth as much as he sold the
original lot for.
The mill cleaned at the rate of 20 bushel
per hour, at the recent trial, which was
more than the Agents claimed for it.

from various sources, a superabundat supply
of provisions had reached France At Paris
there had been a considerable waste OF perisha-

there was no sale for either provisions or bread
stufs Still there was much suffering in places

The Ku-Klux bill as passed by the House OF
Representatives, retains, as the Baltimore ia
zette remarks, the grant Of new and hitherto
unheard of powers: to the Federal District
Court the authority given to the President to
overrun, and overawe any State, or part OF Il
State, with Federal troops and militia, without
regard to the State authorities, and in fragrant
violation Of the Constitution: the delegation
also Of authority to suspend the privileges OF
the writ of habeas corpus, in contempt OF re-
peated decisions of the Supreme Court of the
u. s., declaring, emphatically, that Congress
alone has power to suspend the privileges Of
the writ and cannot, in any case, delegate that
power to another, with the option Of using it OF
not, as he may think proper. So that as hs
been remarked. although the bill was amended
it was hardly bettered.
