Americas Woman Suffrage Assoo,a.
ton.

The American Woman Suffrage
Association held very successful
Anniversary and Annual Meeting
in New York and Brooklyn, Oct. Is
and IA. The Convention was large.
The proceedings were spirited and
harmonious. Great enthusiasm
prevailed. Col. L. Wentworth
Higginson presided. and made the
opening address. Letters endors-
ing the movement, were read from
Hon. George VIM. Curtis, William
Lloyd Garrison, Lydia Maria Child,
Eliza4slh Stuart Phelps, Louisa M.
AicotGend Others. Eighty-six del
eyates we're present, representing
organized societies in fourteen
States and Territories. The Annu-
al Report shows that Women Suf-
traye is established and works well
in Wyoming and Utah, that it was
under discussion last winter, in 81
State Legislatures, and received
majoriLysvote, III those OF Maine,
Iow4 and Michigan. Written re.
ports were read from II States.
Julia Ward Howe was elected
President for the ensuing year; Lu-
cy Some Chairman Executive Com.
mittee. Among the Vice President
at large are Vice President Henry
Wilson, Hon. George WIN. Curtis,
Senator Sergeant, WIN. Lloyd Gar
rison and Col. Higginson. The
Resolutions adopted are AS follows.
Resoioed, That the primary aim
of the American Woman Suffrage
Association is to secure the ballot
for woman; while it includes, in its
general aim, the establishment Of
her equality OF rights in all direc.
tiOns.
Resolyed, That one-half the adult
population of the United States who
are assessed for taxes and punisha-
BILE for crime, and whose interest in
the Commonwealth is in no respect
less than that OF the other half,
should not he deprived Of an equal
voice in the government.
Resolced, That government of
the people must be government
composed equally of men and wo-
men, inasmuch as the equal CO ope-
ration of the sexes is essential alike
to a happy home, a refined society
a Christian church aud a Republi-
can state.
Resotcea, That our present polit.
ical system is not fairly representa-
tive, even OF men, being largely
controlled in the primary meetings
by rings of trading politicians in
tent OH private gain; that political
reform must enlist a more general
interest on the part of the people in
the management Of public business;
and that this would be greatly pro
NOTED by combining the social sym
pathy and cooperation of women
in the primary meetings, at the
polls, and in the halls of Legislation
Resoiyed, That we advise the
friends Of Woman Suffrage in every
locality to promote the movement
morally and politically BY organic
ing local societies, for circulating
tracts and newspapers, for holding
public meetings, and especially fol
helping to elect the friends Of sut'
taage and to defeat its enemies.
ResoIced, That the Woman Suf'
frage movement, like every other
reform of the age, laments the loss
and honors the memory Of its most
powerful advocate, John Stuart Mill

II. IL. Ii very popular win the state,
and works many times especially in
its interests. Its present terminus
is Beatrice, in the northeastern
part of the State, but there is a
proposition t" extend the road on
southwesterly to the north line of
Kansas, and in the direction of Ell
Paso; and q new company has been
organized in Kansas for the pur-
pose of taking up this project and
practically carrying it cut. The
extension will intersect several i'm
partant trunks, and will thus give
Lincoln communication with the
great Gulf. 1t will then have the
advantage Of competition between
railroad and water transportation o
the sea-ports and markets of the
! world. This route, if completed,
will be as fine an accomplishment
as the future can have in store for
the State. We will drop this sub
ject here and await more impor-
tant developments, as the world is
lamiliar with the present roads OF
this State.
Far away up the beautiful valley
Of the Republican, in central and

itatlons Of a host of industrious

A Lively Cherokee Council.

We learn from Andrew Young, a Cher
okee just from T~ahlequah, that on Tues
day last a discussion arose about the
Ockmulgee Constitution, and the ap-
p~ortioning of land in severalty among
the Cherokees. Sam Usage, a councillor
and a full-blood Indian, opposed the
movement. He was considered a leader
in the party opposed to what is termed
the Boudinot policy. Turn Foreman
was in the council-house when the dis
cussion was going on and took part in
it, and pulled out his pistol and shot
Sam Usage dead. Immediately after,
some unknown person shot Foreman,
who died that night.
There is another version of the above
affair, we learn from Col. Cravens, who
is Just down from Fort Gibson. It ap-
pears it was d made-up affair between
Sam Usage and Colson to kill Foreman.
While Foreman and Usage were talking
friendly, Colson shot him, and then
Usage turned upon him and shot Fore
man, who hen pulled his pistol out and
killed Usage and also shot Colson.
Turn Foreman, just before he died,
counted sixty-four men he had killed
during his lifetime. The junior OF this
paper was well acquainted with him,
and knows of many bloody deeds he
committed. Foreman was between 80
and "a years of age, a handsome-looking
man, and very pleasant in conversation /;
but when once aroused, was quickly
touched with bloodthirsty motives, and
always brought down his antagonist

Cuba.

There has been almost a continuous
instruction in the island of Cuba ever
since Joseph Bonaparte was made ruler
of Spain, when the Cubans adhered to
the Bourbon cause. Till the year 1887,
Cuba followed the fortunes of the moth
ercountry, enioyingconstitutionalliber
whenever Spain had it., and relapsing
into despotism when Spain relapsed.
Since that time, Cuba has had none of
the privileges of the Home Government.
For more than thirty years the island
has been under the rule of martial law,
the Captain-General having the same
powers as those conferred on a Governor
of a city in a state of siege. Four years
ago, the Captain-G General practically
abdicatedthese powers to the volunteers,
who have used them with a bloody cru
city unparalleled in the history of civilized
countries. -Four years ago, Cespedes,
an able lawyer and rich planter, raised
the banner of instruction, with LAT
men about him, armed with knives and
fowling-pieces. In three days, he had
an army of 1000 men, and in a month
one of 5000. To-day, he has an army
of 20, 900 men, fighting from pure pat
riotism and entrenched in Businesses that
are simply impregnable, with the active
sympathy of $50, 900 free Cubans, rep
resented by a President and Legislature
of their own election. Meanwhile,
Spain has sacrificed 100, 600 lives that
the rich and lovely island may be turned
over to a pack of murderous outlaws,
who defy at once the laws of Spain, the
laws of nations, and the laws of human

A Horrible Rumor that 1t Has Been
and Forwarded to
Ghouls at Washington.
(From the Roseburg (Oregon) Plaindealer, Nov. II
Last Sunday several teams loaded
with Government stores from Fort Kla-
math arrived in this city and unloaded
at the depot of the Oregon and Califor-
MIA railway. Shortly after one of the
teamsters, an acquaintance of ours,
came to the Office and privately asked us
to repair to the depot with him, which
we proceeded to do. When we arrived
there he pointed to a cask, which, on
close inspection, proved to be nothing
more than a common whisky barrel,
marked Society of Natural History,
to know what was the meaning of this,
when our friend informed us that the
barrel contained nothing less than the
body of the Modoc chief, preserved in
spirits, and was being shipped through
this way, ostensibly as Government
stores, to prevent comment by news
papers and the public in general. Our
informant then proceeded to give the
whole story, as he was present at the x
ecutlon and had remained at Fort Kla-
math from the time the Indians were
hung until he left for Roseburg with his
team and horrible freight. It appears
that Jacks body was never buried after
the head was severed from the trunk; in
fact, if it had not been for the supersti-
tious fears of the Indians concerning
their dead relatives, which cause them
to to very often risk their lives in time
of war to carry their slain from the field
of battle, and apprehensions entertained
as to how it would be received by the
public mind, the body would never have
been buried. AS it was, the Modoc
chief only rested in his grave about ten
or twelve hours. It was dug up before
midnight on the day he was hung, by
soldiers detailed for that purpose, who
filed up the grave and left it as though
it had never been disturbed. The body
was Immediately carried to the fort, and
the head taken off and put up for ship
ment East. A few days after this the
remainder of the body was placed in
the barrel, as already stated, and started
for the same city for which the head
was intended,

The EOS of War.

The last French budget, which was
closed "under perfectly normal condi-
tions,' was that of 1869. That budget
showed a surplus of about $751; O0, 900,
while the budget of 1874, in spite of the
vast number Of new taxes, shows a de-
felt of $3e, 600, 600. According to M.

H YIRGINIUS.
Account of an Eyewitness OF the Chase
and Execution.

A Kingston (Jamaica) dispatch says /:
Capt. Macarthur, Of the British
schooner Brilliant, reports that just
before the Virginius was captured,
Varona advised the firing of the powder
magazine, and consequent blowing up
of the vessel rather than than they
should fall into the hands of the Span
iards, but the Captain persuaded and
convinced Gen. Varona that being under
the American flag, and in neutral waters,
they would not dare touch a man on
board. Varona and his followers there
upon became satisfied, and shortly after
an officer from the Tornado boarded the
Virginius and demanded her papers.
The officer, after inspection, stated that
they were correct, but made all on board
prisoners. Varana replied that he was
a prisoner because there was not an
| English OF American man. of-wa near to
| witness this scandal on the laws of IA
tions. He added that he could have
blown up the vessel, with all on board,
but he had not done so since her papers
were correct, and she had not been
| seized in Cuban waters. The American
flag was, he considered, their protec-
ton, and he surrendered, he said, under
the protection of that flag. but believed
he would be a victim, zinc the Spanish
Government had all along hated him.
Capt. Macarthur witnessed the execu-
ton of Ryan, Varona, Jesus del Sol and
Pedro Cespedes, and gives the follow
ing account /: The Spaniards forced Ces-
pedes and Jesus del Sol to kneel, in
which position they were hot in the
back. The soldiers next directed Ryan
end Varona to kneel in the same way,
but they refused, and were seized,
thrown down, and handcuffed. ALI the
time the two victims begged their tor
mentors to allow them to die standing,
and, having offered further resistance,
they were shot standing.
Fifteen officers of the Spanish army,
who had been made prisoners on the
battlefield by Varona. were present when
he landed, and went to the Governor of
the city and begged that his life might
be spared, since he had given them
theirs.
The Acting American Consul, on hear
ing that Ryan was to be shot, waited on
the Governor and demanded his restora-
ton as an American citizen, but the
Governor refused to listen, on the ground
hat the Consul was not well-informed
in regard to the matter. The Spaniards
informed the Consul that they were
acting on their own responsibility, and
did rot even intend communicating with
