Governor Brown. in his message veto
ing the Tipping bill, reviews the entire
subject at length and gives his reasons
for not sustaining the action Of the Gen
eral Assembly. He says;
Then, conclude, the bill must be
passed In accordance with the forms pre-
scribed by the Constitution, or u cannst
become A law. Did Il 80 passl II Ger.
tainly did not. The bill IN question did
not pass but one reading in the House.
A bill with the same leading objects, for
which il was substituted IN lieu, had
previously passed two readings. But Il
was a House bill, aud this Is Senate
bill. The former has the caption; " A
bill TO amend the tipping laws Of the
State" aud the latter the caption An
act To- provide against the evils resulting
from the sale OF intoxicating liquors IN
the State Of Tennessee
The Governor enters into an elaborate
discussion on the second proposition:
{" Has the General Assembly the power
under the Constitution TO make the law
effective, or any part Of It operative in
any civil district, upon the condition
that the people OF the district vote for it2'
He concludes as follows:
And there is nowhere in the Constitu.
ton the Judgement Of power to make
laws, except in this department Of the
Government. The people cannot make
a law except by their own direct act,
because they have delegated that power
10 their Representatives and Senators in
the General Assembly, nor could the
General Assembly in joint convention
do so. In making this disposition OF the
bill have had no reference TO its objects
or purposes. They cannot control the
higher OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES the Con-
stitution has been complied with. 1t does
not matter whether the optional law were
for the restraint Of licenses, or the
the protection Of property, or the pun
ishment Of crime. The principle under
lying the question is the same in each
case, and while it is TO be much regret
ted that the rule must be applied to q
question in which the friends OF temper
ance and law and order feel deep con-
Germ, and in which society is vitality in
terested, yet even these interests must
not demand an experiment to be made
with law at variance with the organic
law. Far worse evils than those in
tended to be remedied might follow
such course.

C. Chamberlain, formerly County Judge
Of this county. at eleven o'clock last

killed by freight train on the Chicago
Rock Island and Pacific railroad in this
city, within few rods Of his house
where the road passes. He was return
ing from his office, and on finding the
street obstrueted by a train Of cars, he
attempted to go around them in their
rear. On the way he reached the cross
ing Of the track over the feeder, and was
thrown down by stepping into space
between the ties. In this position the
lower freight train came upon him.
The engineer saw him when it was too

were influenced by strikers to refuse, and
suit was brought against them for breach

VOORHEES, to defend them, and upon his
arrival at Brazil he received quite an
ovation. Excitement runs very high,
and the strikers, who number about
twelve hundred declare that the negroes
now at work shall not be permitted to

to crossing the Continent The Indians
have periodically been treated TO gun
powder aud sweetmeats-a varying pol
icy shining from administration TO adj
minislraton, and policy which even
the Indian laughs at and despises. The
Indian policy has been a miserably med
ley Of failures, spasmodic in action and
impolent in result. 1t seems reasonable
that the War Department should have
fall control aud charge Of the Indian
business, as the subjs ct has to be treated
from military standpoint and in u mil
itary manner. What the Indian ques-
ton needs at present is General in the
Geld, the Peace Commissioners OF the
Indian Bureau having proven themselves
thoroughly unable and incompetent to
wreslle successfully with the native
Americans of the far West.

THE INDIAN TROUBLES

The Indian problem has never been
satisfactorily solved by the Government,
and the causes for this unsatisfactory
result may be attributed in part to the
changes Of policy which follow every
change Of administration. The total
Indian population Of the United States
is little over a quarter Of a million, yet
but half that number comes under the
head Of real Indians, who are taken into
account in the treatment Of the Indian
question. This mere handful Of nomads
has for many years caused more trouble
TO the Government than have the
l20. 600, 600 Of Asistics or East Indians
n the British Empire been to the Eng
hsh authorities. The handful Of savages
in the fsr West. along the lines Of rail-
roads, has been a continual nuisance and
perpetual menace 10 those Of our citizens
Who dwell 10 their vicinity, and serious
OBSTACLE to every enterprise necessary

ADJUSTMENTS.


Putnam Comedy Company gave their
initial performance last night present
ing Little Nell, or the Marchioness,
in attractive style. The version of the
play is different from that given by Lolita
and other delineators Of the roles, and
it is an open question whether or not
the Putnam version is not the more at
tractive and entertaining. The company
is quite good one, and are assisted by
orchestral music pleasing and artistic
The drama "0ld Curiosity Shop was
well presented by Miss Putnam aud her
troupe, one of the members of the latter
being an old fayorite here-Mr. Belvll
Ryan, formerly of the Wyndham
English Comedy Company. AS Little
Nell and the Marchioness, Miss Putnam
made a decided hit, her banjo playing,
songs and dances being excellent. The
well-known character " Dick Swiveler "
was well presented by Edwin Browne,
who appeared in character songs and
dances, that we're repeatedly encored by
the audience. Mr.. Ryan rendered
"Quilp, as he does all other roles he
undertakes, in good style. The cast was
very good, each member Of the COM
pany filling his or her part in credita-
BILE manner. 1t is evident that the Katie
Putnam people will draw well during
the week, the entertainments presented
by them being far above the ordinary
theatrical attractions, and being OF a
light dramatic style that always is pleas
ing, and such as never yet has failed to
attract large audiences in Memphis.
The amusement seekers cannot pass a
more pleasant evening or be better en-
tertained than by visiting the Opera

peated tonight.

Terrible Accident.

ST. PAUL, MINI, March pa terri
bic accident, resulting in the death Of
three children by burning, occurred a
few miles from Reeds Landing yester-

During this time, it appears that little

and boy Of nine years, son Of Mr..
Wooded, without the knowledge Of their
parents, went out, it is supposed, to as

means became encircled by the fire so
they could not escape, and thus met a
fearful fate When found, their clothes
we're burned entirely of their bodies.
