How the Indians Disposed of One of
Their Unfortunate Women.

How the Indians Disposed of One of
Their Unfortunate Women.
LISA matter ofhistory, every one is
aware, that the penal laws Of some of
the Indian tribes surpass in rigor and
severity those ofcivilized natiogs, and the
penalties inflicted by the breaking of
these edicts, which have been handed
down for centuries, are of a lsingularly
cruel and fearful nature. One of the
most stringent of these DEGREES is in ref
crence to the chastity of their femal IS,
death being the punishment if at any
time one is known to have broken the
law. Job Natures, an old mountaineer
and trapper, gives Nevada paper the
following particulars of one of these fen
dish acts Of cruelty lately perpetrated by
a band of Indians near Fish Spring
Valley:
Fortwo weeks prior to the occurrence
of the events about to be narrated, the
Indians had been building signal fires on
the elevated portions of the mountains
for miles around the surrounding coIn-
try. As it was their regular hunting
season, much surprise was manifested as
the lights appeared night after night, cal
ling the absent portions Of the tribe to
the general rendezvous. On questioning
SINE of their number, they were, contra
ry to their usual manner, recticent on
the subject, and only replied to questions
put to them concerning the unusual oc-
currencc that white man no sabe."
Natures, however, who speaks the
language like IL native, heard enough 20
satisfy himself that rite was about to
be performed which was of rare occur
renee, and OH questioning u halfbred
who frequently accompanied him on his
bunting excursions, he learned that q
young woman, a member Of one of the
tridcs i'll that country, who had abandon
ed her people year or so since to live
with white man, had returned, bring
ing with her q babe about three months
old. Here was the same old, old story,
SO common With us nowadays. After n
short spell of happiness and pleasure, he
who had brought her to her ruin became
tired of his victim and abandoned her to
her fate. She like thousands of others
placed in the same circumstances, sought
refuge at her home and among her peo-
pie, hoping to find a shelter for herself
and child; but with the trrible penalty of
the law she had broken before her, and
with the indisputablc evidence other guilt
in her aims, we wonder at her hardihood
i'll placing hcrsclfin the power of those
whomc she must have known would show
her no mercy. @
Nothing that she could offer in ralla-
ton of her offense would be received by
those who only knew. that their sacred
law had been broken Having heard
that the terrible decree would he carried

TIE ~. G.. RAILROAD And
CONSOLTD4T

The Directors Of the N. G. Rail
road held meeting at the Company
Shops on Friday LAST eight OF the
twelve directors were present. The
absent ones were J. L. Morehead,
W. r. Myers, r. Barringer and
Moses Holmes.
We hear it rumored that q resolu-
ton was offered directing the Presi-
dent of the Road, W. A. Smith, to
call q meeting Of Stockholders to
consider the Amendments to the
cI arter enacted by the late Legisla-
ture, called the Consolidation Bill, ;"
and that the Board, with only one
dissenting vote, refused to so in
struct the President on the ground
that the Bill itself directed that the
Governor should issue a call for a
meeting Of the Stockholders.
The old or present charter Of the
company expressly states that meet
ings Of stockholders shall be called
by the President and Directors, and,
until the Amendments are adopted
by the stockholders (Which confers
the power on the Governor) the
Governor cannot legally call the
stockholders together. 1.-THE Legis-
lature had passed q supplemental or
special bill directing the Governor
to call the meeting, instead of in
serting such power in the amend
ments to the charter which have to
be adopted by the company before
they take effect, the Governor prob
atty could have legally issued the
call; but as it is, it seems to US he
has no power in the premises.
The Board Of Directors, it is said,
will not call the meeting because the
Legislature tried to ignore them and
their President by attempting to
confer the duty on the Governor.
And, further, it is understood. that
more than two-thirds of the Board
are unfavorable to the Consolidation
Bill as passed by the Legislature.
SO there seems to be q hitch that
will be hard to get unhitched.
We have no authentic information
on the matter, and neither are we
authorized to make any statement
about it. but we think what we have
said above is correct.
We learn that the Directors will
hold another meeting on the 18th of
March, and if by that time, the mon
ey due on the lease contract is not
paid, the lease will be anuulled.
We are informed that President
Smith declares that he will build or
complete the Western N. c.. Rail
road, but not under the consolida-
ton law of the late Legislature

In the second district we may pre-
pare for floor full of candidates,

does not run. This is Maynard old
district, and if he can be put on the
track for Governor, or sent off on

young fellows about Knoxville will

to.
In this, the third district, we Haue

Crutchfeld, James. Snyder, Savage,
Dibrell, Spears and Bill Stokes are
spoken of as candidates. Crutch-
field is the present representative,

on the slim. lie introduced an
amendment to the civil rights bill,
which will not commend him to the |
suffrage of the negroes whose votes
elected him the last time. He offer

ing it unlawful for any white woman
to refuse an offer of marriage from a
negro. Of course, our uncle Will
liam did this in n vein of playful
but the negroes do not
fancy having their sacred rights
thus held up to ridicule. Mr. Crutch-
field is q man Of large means and of
a very independent turn Of mind,
and it is not likely he cares very
much whether he is in Congress or
not.
Bill Stokes has announced himself
as an independent candidate, and
will run regardless of party names
or conventions. BY way Of en-
enlargement it may be added that
he stands no chance whatever of
election.
