The EsamRxrupt Bill.

Washington Special to Courier Journal
On the 5th of this month the Judi
ciary Committee, by Mr.. Edmunds,
reported a bankrupt bill altogether
different from the House bill, which
repealed the bankrupt act outright.
The Senate bill provides for an as
signee to carry on the business of the
debtor under the order of the court,
and for sales by such assignee; and for
the involuntary clauses of the old law
it substitutes a suspension of payment
for forty days as a test of bankruptcy,
and says that the petition on which a
party shall be adjudged a bankrupt
must emanate from One-fourth of the
creditors in number, and one-third in
amount. a reasonable time, not eX-
ceeding twenty days, is allowed for
such assent to be obtained to the petit
ton. Provisions are also made for a
composition with creditors. The Judi
ciary committee have allowed their
bill to rest, in order to allow sugges-
tiOns in respect to it to be made by the
courts and members of the Bar
throughout the country; and they
have been freely aided in this way.
The committee have agreed on some
other mOditic atoms, which are in the
nature of detail, and Mr.. Edmunds
will report them in q day OF two.

The Pistol sgsue Killed TeCupa-
saEs
Lexington Ky Gazette.


\ gentleman in whose care it was
left for safe-keeping at the beginning
of the late war, brought to our Office a
day or two ago the very pistol with
which the late Col. r. NJ. Johnson
killed the great Indian warrior Te-
cumseh at the battle Of the Thames in
1913. 1t was buried in the ground at
the breaking out of the late war to
keep it from falling into the hands of
the Federals, who had great hank
ering for firearms but 10 disposition to
return them to their owners, and was
only dug up after the close Of the war
and Is very rusty and delaced. 1t was
made by old man West, Georgetown,
a gunsmith of great repute in the be-
ginning OF this century, and is silver
mounted, and must have been a beau
tful arm i'll the eyes of its owner and
the rough pioneers who accompanied
him to the wars. The history Of the
killing Of Tecumseh as told US bv
near relative of Col. johnson, who
often heard his uncle relate it, is about
this: The COlOnel's horse fell under
him and he himself had received six
wounds and was so weak from pain
and the loss of blood that he could not
eXtricate himself from his dead ami
NAL. While in this predicament, he
saw large Indian approaching him
rapidly, bcandishing a tomahawk, and
be made sure that be would be scalped
unless he could protect himself in
some way. He first attempted to
draw his sword, but could not, but by
a great effort he managed to get his
pistol from the holster, and as the In
dian approached and had gotten with
in few feet Of him, he fired and then
tainted
After the hattle this large Indian
was found lying within a few feet of
the Colonel, and recognized by those
who We're familiar with his features to
be no other than Tecumseh himself |
and it was never doubted in the army
that Col. Johnson had killed him, and
with pistols hot The bore Of this |
pistol is very large, and carries a ball |
Of sufficient weight TO kill an elephant. |
The present owner of this venerable |
relic is young Dick Johnson, of Mis-
to whom ii was given by the |
Colonel, and to whom il will be for |
warded in day or two bv express.

GREENSBORO, n C., Jan. N.-There

rived after the death of both twins,
and when they proposed TO examine
the bodies the family objected, and no
examination was made. 1t appears
there is provision in the wills of the
twins against the severance of their

and the funeral took place on Monday
The deaths occurred early on Satur-

when the family entered lie remark ed,

death, which seems to have been the
result of pure fright, took place two
hours afterward. Mount Airy, the
residence of the twins, is such an out
of-the-way place that no medical as
sistance could be procured till some
hours after their death. The surgeons
wished particularly to cut the mem.
brane which bound the twins tOgeth-
eT, so as to ascertain the nature of the
connection, and the probabilities as to
whether Eng's life could have been
saved by detachment from his broth

were not allowed to do; and so this
singular mystery will never be ex-
planned. The twins leaYe very re-

A curious instance of credulity has
recently been exhibited in Canewau-
gus, near the town of Avon, in New
York. A young woman of the name
OF Bonney, a spiritualist, living in the
house of Mr.. L. O. Preston, became
impressed with the conviction that
her spirit was 10 leave her body for a
time and then return, and she sue
ceeded in convincing several of her
friends that this phenomenon would
actually occur. She was verv san
guine that her expectations would be
realized, and predicted that during
her spirits absence certain manifesto
tons, such as the ringing of bell and
the shaking of the house, would take
place. Her friends were particularly
requested not to handle her remains,
and above all not TO bury them dur
ing the period ofsuspenGed animation.
She complained of no illness, but on
the 10th of November announced that
the time had come for departure, and
after tea took to her bed, where she re-
NAMED calmly cOnversing with sew
eral friends until midnight. Mr.. and
Mrs. Preston saw her several times be-
tween that hour and two o'clock. At
the latter hour Miss Bonney eXclaim-
ed, ooh, this is glorious" and ceased
to breathe. There was no struggle
nor evidence Of pain. OF course the
friends of the young woman marvell-
ed greatly at this fulfilment of her
prediction, which gave them faith to
believe that in due time her spirit
would return to its earthly habitation.
In this expectation, however, they
were doomed to disappointment. AL
though Miss BOnneys remains were
kept unburied according to her desire
from the 10th Of November until Mon
day last, her spirit has never reappear-
ed. On the last mentioned day Cor
Oner's inquest was held on the lifeless
body, which Of course was in a state of
decomposition, and her death was
officially established, At the inquest
Miss BOnneys brother-in law protes-
ted against any pOst-mortem examina-
ton, avOwing his belief that the spirit
would yet return to animate the decay
ing body, and several witnesses testi-
fed that the house had been violently
shaken, as had been predicted, and
that the clear note of bell had been
heard on several occasions, although
there was no bell about the house ex-
cept the door bell. The Buffalo C0ur-
Ter says that SO far as the physicians
were able 10 determine the various
organs of the body showed that at the
time of death they were in sound
and healthy condition, and 10 cause
of death could be found.

a Mess OcPOffa2e.

When the unfortunate division of
our last Tennessee campaign resulted
in sending to Congress a large major
Ity of Republicans, including the
member from this district, some opti-
mists urged that it would rebound to
our material benefit. They argued
that we could gain no favors in Wash
ington by sending there a Democratic
delegation, but now that we had
congressman in accord with the ruling
power, the Nashville and Memphis
Custom-hOuses would be built forth
with, and the Cumberland and Ten
nessee rivers improved instanter. The
argument was an ignOble one, because
Tennesseeans ask nc favors, but mere
~ claim what their needs and those of
the government itself demand. But
now, how chOp-fallen are these illu
sive hopes The Senate Committee
refuses to consider any appropriations
for new public buildings, and the
items for river Improvements have
been cut down numerically. The
Nashville CustOm-hOuse and the Cum
beTland will remain in statu quo, so
far as this overwhelmingly Radical
Congress is concerned. Those who
sold their convictions for a mess of
pottage are disappointed as usual

Tennessee Taking e7,e lend

Says the Pittsburgh Commercial: OF
all the distinctiveiy Southern States,
Tennessee would appear to be making
the most rapid and thorough progress
in the essential elements OF enduring
prosperity and greatness. 1t has the
best school system of all the Southern
states, ana provision IS made Whereby
every child between six and sixteen
years Of age can have at least five
months schooling each year, while
the educational advantages for all are
much better than they were for white
children before the war. The fOunda-
tons of Nander0iIt's Institution have
already been laid at Nashville; and
the state is erecting capaciOus and
comfortable asy lums for the blind and
dumb. Life was never more secure in
Tennessee than now, and public senti-
ment throughout the State has made
great progress for the better At the
close of the war Tennessee accepted
the situation in good faith, conforming
itself with energy t. the discharge of
its new opportunities. Providence helps
those who helps themselves. Let the
Impoverished Southern neighbors of
Tennessee heed and profit by the
lesson,
