The people of Nevada begin to shake

HAYsEED PROM THE ORANGES.

The Changers are organizing all over
Bracken county, Ky. There are over twen-
ty Oranges in the county at this time.
The Patrons of HusbandIy of Holt
county, Mo-, have purchased a Touring
Mill and saw-mill at Forest City, and intend
running them for their own interest.
An Oregon Patron tells the public that
he took the fourth degree at certain time
and place, and adds: Il have felt better ever
since; my clothes hang better, and look
like there was some one in them. l would
like to take fourteen more fourth degrees"
The salaries of the Missouri Grange
officers have been fixed as follows: State
Master Allen, $1,000 year; Secretary Cof-
fee, $500; Treasurer LueSenbeTTy, $500;
and members of the Executive Committee,
s. day. The Committee on Finance re-
ported Sc, 400 in the Treasury.
A Minnesota Patron thinks lawyers,
merchants, grain buyers, etc, because they
have farms outside their regular business,
and have an annual income therefrom, are
not, therefore, entitled to become Patrons
of Husbandry. He believes in making the
Order a Farmers organization pure and
simple.
The Kansas Farmer SAYS of the prices
asked for jewels for Oranges, that they are
extortionate and a swindle, and objects to
anybody attempting to be an official jewell
er, boot maker or organ grinder. Officers
of the Grange should be the last men to
lend themselves and their names to build
ing up private and personal interests.
A California Patron says of the results
of the organization in his neighborhood:
"The discussions of questions of practical
interest to Patrons, which forms feature
of our Grange, is having tendency TO de-
velop not only better manner of express
ing ourselves, but greater willingness to
make the effort. Great improvement has
already been observed in even the little
practice we have thus far had

COL. COFFEE'S MURDER.
Particulars of the Recent Tragedy in
Arkansas.

The Memphis Appeal of the Goth gives
the following particulars of the cause
and nature of the difficulty which re-
suited in the killing of Col John Coffee
by Zack Taylor, in Arkansas:
Col. Coffee was planting near Sur
rounded Hill, and purchased supplies
from Taylor, who, with another man,
were doing business together. During
last year Col. Coffee gave his employees
orders upon the store, which were &C
cepted and filed. Some time ago Tay-
lor presented his account for settlement,
and under the head of "sundries" was
a large sum charged. Col Coffee said
he was willing to pay the account IN
full, but wanted to see the orders and
have the bill itemized, IN place Of being
headed "sundries." Taylor refused to
itemize that part of the account, and
would not produce the orders, but sued
Coffee before a magistrate at Sur
rounded Hill. Last Tuesday the case
was heard, and judgment rendered for
Col. Coffee, whereupon Taylor became
exasperated and used abusive language,
causing the court to impose a fine of
twenty dollars. Taylor and Coffee
soon left the magistrates Office, and
had a conversation in the street with
mutual friends, which fact allayed all
fear Of any difficulty between the liti-
giants. Taylor's partner told Coffee
that he would settle the business salts
factorily, so that he would not complain
of its being unfair. He stated that
Taylor was hot-headed and too quick in
the matter. After this conversation
Coffee went to another store, where he
purchased pair Of shoes, and, mount
ing his horse, started home. About
this time Taylor stepped out of his
store door and fired at Col Coffee, who
fell dead from his horse, the entire load
of buckshot having struck him IN the
back and penetrated his heart. As he
struck the ground Taylor discharged
the other barrel of the gun, the shot
tearing off the mouth and mutilating
the face of the unfortunate man. Tay-
lor was Immediately arrested, and at
last accounts was awaiting trial.
Col. John Coffee was well known in
Memphis, having lived here after the
war, and married the step-daughter of
DIR. James Brown, now deceased. He
was a son of Gen. Coffee, who figured
in the early history Of Tennessee and
was under Gen. Jackson at the
memorable battle of New Orleans. His
body, accompanied by his wife and two
children, arrived here Friday. and was
inferred Yesterday.

THE INDIAN RING.
How it Contributed to the Reelection
OF Grant-MOre Corruption Un-
earfhed.

How it Contributed to the Reelection
OF Grant-MOre Corruption I'm
earthed.
Washington correspondence of the ST. Louis
Republican.
Mr.. Adams of Kentucky has been
defeated in his effort to open the doors
of the Indian committee during its in
vestigation of the contract ring. There
is particular reason why the Repub-
hcans should vote as a unit against an
open investigation. The primary purpose
is not to shield the Indian bureau for
its own sake but for the sake of
the Republican party. 1t now
transpires that the Indian fund was
made to pay a considerable share ofthe
expenses of re-electing Grant In 1872.
There is much evidence to show this
fact conclusively, and l viii give a
single instance in point: A merchant
in New York contributed large sum
of money to the campaign fund of 1872,
with the understanding that he was to
be reimbursed in the shape of Indian
supplies. He received some contracts
as per this agreement, and now it ap-
pears he was paid for performing them
largely In excess of the bona tide bids
which had been submitted to the board.
There is evidence to show that he was
not satisfied with his first instalment of
contracts, and that he applied for more,
which he finally secured, though not
until he had reminded the board of the
large contribution he had made toward
the reelection of Grant. In this way
the Indian fund was made to contri-
butte, it is estimated by one of the gen.
tlemen who is now here as a witness,
over two millions of dollars to the cam
paign of 1872. These contributions
were made in many States and by diff
ferent parties, the distinct understand
ing being that IL case Grant was re-
elected the contributor was to get his
money back out of the Indian con-
tracts. In this way several Senatorial
and party managers, among them Sem
atOr Window and Representative Aver
i'll of Minnesota, have got mixed up in
the business, and hence the reluctance
of the Republicans to have the investi-
cation conducted openly.

SCHENCK's IS-TO-BE-BRIDE.

The engagement of Gen. Schenck
and the handsome Mrs. Hicks is
now formally announced. The history
of the bride-elect, as given bya CORES
pendent of the Sun, is romantic. By
birth she is a South American. Her
parents, North Americans and North
erners, were living in Brazil when she
was born. Her name Is Annetta, but
her lineage is English, not Spanish
She married an elderly, very wealthy
man, but lived IN retirement until
after his death. Then her New York
real estate increased in value, and she be-
came immensely rich. She went to En-
rope, visited Rome, and became a devoted
Roman Catholic, giving largely TO the
church. On her return to America she be-
came a queen of society, travelled, visiting
many persons of distinction, and was at one
time the guest of Madame lie Vert in Mo
bile, Ala, in the prosperous days of that
social celebrity. Mrs. Hicks is still young
enough to be called ''the admiration of
men and Il envy Of women" but she has
grown tired of freedom, and has determined
TO wear the pleasant chaius of matrimony
again.

MAYNARD'S CHANCES.
The Vacant Jusiieeship I'm the Court
Of Claims.

Inc Nacssnt JuSt1cesnfp IN the Court
Washington Correspondence april 23) of the
New York Herald.
WASHINGTON, April 24-Horaee
Maynard, Congressman-at-Large from
the State of Tennessee, and Chairman
of the House Banking and Currency
Committee, wishes the place Of Asso-
ciate Justice of the Court Of Claims,
vacated by the death of Judge Mill
gan, of the same State, few days ago.
MIR. Maynard's friends and colleagues
are somewhat astomshed at the direc-
ton his ambition has taken, but the
least censorious attribute it to the ap-
probation that comes upon men IN the
fullness of years of the advantages of
lifelong place and a quiet, leisurely ex-
istence. MIR. Maynard, however, is IN
derstood to be above the need of pub
lie salary, and, should he decide to re-
main In the political arena, has both a
fair chance of election to the Senate
by Democratic divisions in State poll
tics and the certainty of reelection to
the House from the Knoxville district
that he has represented many years.
But he has been harassed by
opportunities from politicians not
strictly disinterested to stand as
the Republican candidate for
the Governorship of the State in a
doubtful contest, and these demands
are enforced by suggestions that it
would be ungenerous in him to decline
to stand where the party interests de-
mand his presence, after he has been
favored with so many successive nomi-
nations when election was a foregone
conclusion. The coveted place on the
bench would solve this difficulty for
him In a manner both honorable and
satisfactory, and permit him to con-
tInue those studies and researches IN
abstract politics, sociology and finance
that he is said to have resumed with
ardor after years Of enforced interrupt
ton. There would be little doubt of
Mr.. Maynard's success In obtaining
the desired appointment If Secretary
Richardson, by all accounts. was not
an aspirant for the same position, with
the advantage of having the final ac-
ceptance or refusal of it at his disposal.
Judge Richardson has never concealed
his preference for the judicial over tne
administrative branch of service, and
even the rather secondary place of a
Court of Claims Justice would be of
public advantage to him at this time.
Mr.. John Patterson, a Philadelphia
banker of strong protectionisL procivi-
ties, is authoritatively named as the
successor of Secretary Richardson by
the Pennsylvanians in Congress; and
his intentions with respect to the offer
made him by the President are proba-
bly, known to the latter and to his own
friends, but have not been divulged at
this writing
