THE JUDGMENT OF King SoLoMoS-Two
WOMEN CLAIMING One CHlLD.-A remark
able case has lust been decided in the Sll-
preme Court, the facts Of which are substan.
TALLY these In 1870 a young lady named
Harriet Evans had an ile9itimate child, and
being unable TO spare sufficient time to nurse
it herself, she placed it with Mrs. Fanny
Wemple. q married woman, whose child had
recently died. Miss Evans called very fire.
qucn,ly to see the child, sent it clothing, and
paid so month for some time, but finally
was unable to pay more than Sl5, Tor which
Mrs. Wemple consented to nurse the child.
About this time ,he child was weaned, the
mothers visits became more frequent, and
nothing would satisfy her maternal yearn-
ings but TO take the child 10 her own home.
AS soon as she preached this subject, Mrs.
Wickens, the mother Of Mrs. Wemple, re-
piled: L" You needn't bother about the child !;
it isn't yours that child vas left here in u
basket" Alarmed at this, Miss Evans went
TO Mrs. Wempe and asked what her mother
meant. Mrs. Wemple replied that one day
some one put the child in a basket, left it at
the door and rang the bell, by way of leaving
it there as a strange child, and that ever
since it was a joke they had that the child
was left in basket. Soon after Miss Evans
demanded the child, and being told it was
not hers, took legal steps to recover 1t,
whereupon Mrs. Wemple fled with the CO.
yetcd baby to Jersey, where she remained
until arrested. The matter then came be-
fore the court, and Mrs. Wemple adhering
TO the basket story, q reference was ordered
10 find out which of the women had claim
to the child, and Miss Evans testified as
above.
Mrs. Wemple, on her side, admitted re-
ceiving q baby from Miss Evans, and the
payment of SIS month, but maintains, new
ertheless, that the child in dispute does not
belong TO Miss Evans, which the witnesses
for the defense account for in this way: 1t
was stated that Miss Eyans's child was very
sickly, which was admitted, aud that some
weeks after Mrs. Wemple took it to nurse
some oHe left a basket containing a
fine, healthy child, at their door and
ran away; that Mrs. Wickens LETT
Mrs. Evans's child ut the founding
hospital, pulled the bell, and ran away,
and that they replaced the sickly child by
the healthy one. This course was adopted
because child of Mrs. Wemple died some
months before, and it was not desirable Tor
her sake that she should see another child
which she was nursing taken away by death.
The flight to Jersey was admitted, but Mrs.
Wenple states her reason was partly be-
cause she had become much attached to the
little stranger, and partly because she wanted
Miss Evans to pay up arrears. The court
gave judgment in favor OF Miss EVANS

closes an article en- civil rights thus: "And now

put ciYfl-rightS plank into each Of their State
platforms. Let their sentiments be unmistakeable,
We counsel no violence, We advise no extra con-
sttutIonAl measures Of retaliation, but We do ask
that the safety Of the negro shall be assured by
the united voice Of the Republican party. Such
an utterLnse will carry with It o moral influence
not to be resisted. We.hsve already indicated
our opinions clearly upon this subject, but we
speak once mere without equivocstion and with
out reservation. The civil rights bill must be
made q cardinal tenet Of Republication. Upon
It every Republican convention must take af1rma-
tive ground"

ject in the Senate and the House, and the
reading of the act itself. Taken altogether
they can mean nothing short Of this. As q
consequence these bonds are S-65 per cent.
per snnum better, IS q security, than the
greenback, which draws no interest at all.
The pledge for their payment amounts to
the same thing precisely. 1t Is the faith of
the United States. 1t is idle, therefore, to
contend that they will not bring par in
greenbacks, if they are not forced upon the
market too rapidly in large quantities. As
collateral security they will rank next to
United States bonds, because their safety is
quite as well secured, the only difference
being In the rate of interest which they viii
bear. As an investment Of small savings
they will necessarily be extremely popular
as they can be exchanged for money, face
and interest, at O moments warning. At
the savings banks notice Of thirty to sixty
DAYS must be given before the money can
be withdrawn, whereas the holder Of q S-65
District bond can realize its market value
at any time We repeat that the holders
of the certificates Of the board of audit
which call for these District bonds, or the
holders of the bonds themselves, will be in
possession of one of the safest securities in
all the land, and they will regret it bitterly
in the near future if they suffer themselves
to be induced to part with them OF sacri-
fee

IT WILL be remembered that Indian Agent
Miles was requested, a few days since, Sya meet
ing of the Society of Friends, to resign his
official position, because be deemed 1t duty
in case of pressing emergency with maraud-
ing Indians, to call for military assistance. In
defence of his course Agent Miles has published
an explanation, in which he says: "such a
course was due to every legitimate interest the
Government has In this Territory, and It was
due to the border settlers, and as for the justi-
fcation of my actions referred TO, claim that
have done nothing more than any peacesble
and law-abiding citizen would DO in q city;
were he to witness mob destroying the lives
and property of innocent persons, he would call
loudly for the police, especially If some loved
one was soon to fall o victim to their savage
cruelty" A strict adherence to the peace
policy as expounded by the Society Of Friends
might accomplish results If the Indians were
amenable to law and reason. Preaching the
golden rule to painted sayages bowling on the
war-path is as proftless as the pouring OF
water in sieve. There are times when gun
powder will be more powerful than gospel In
impressing the Indian, and It was at such a
time that Agent Miles called for assistance
from the military. Forbearance to marauding
Indians is death to peaceful settlers. The best
peace policy is that which viii impress the
Indians with the determination of the Govern
ment to punish them for their violation of law
and treaties. Let the peace policy be practiced
where its theories are practicable, but let not
gunpowder be spared when the folly of adher-
ing to that policy is plainly apparent.
