A Characteristic Row at the EmIgrA-
ton Meeting OF the Negroes Yester.
day.
During the recess for dinner at the col
ored emigration meeting at Lindsey Grove,
Yesterday, an episode occurred, that had a
tendency TO divert the minds Of the large
concourse Of negroes from the Kansas ex-
element. The wife Of Charlie Jones, the
CAPTAIN Of the Lincoln Guards, and anOth-
er married woman named Saunders, had a
regular set-to, resulting in the tear
iug of garments and hair. It was
caused by a misunderstanding about
a piece of watermelon. At one time
it appeared as if there would be a
general melee. One Of the special
policemen interfered to put aquietus TO the
disturbance, when Jones, who had been
absent drilling his men, put in an appear
ance, and hearing a statement Of the affair
became very angry. He pulled of his belt
containing his sword and throwing It upon
the around was about to 60 for the man
who wanted to keep the peace, but some
other persons interfered. The captain was
surrounded by several of his company,
who all seemed willing to lend him help
ing hand if necessary. The officer de-
clared he was "gwine to take 'em all up to
Court 1t was as much as
the husband Of Harriet Saun-
ders could do TO prevent her f'om
leaping upon her adversary and completely
demolishing her. She raved like maniac
aud her large eyes rolled from one side TO
the other, presenting a frightfnl spectacle.
She had to be almost dragged away. Her
husband declared that as she had showed
herself in such bad light it would be the
last time that she should 60 in public.

Eortherners Here Prospecting.

There recently arrived, aud are now
stopping at the residence Of Stephen Col
Inns, Esq, at RiverwOOd Dairy Farm
one gentleman from Minnesota
two from Indiana, and four from
Ohio. Yesterday they visited the neigh
borhOOd Of the Hermitage with Mr.. Col
Iius. We learn thai the object Of these
Gentlemen is to purchase farms and settle
in Tennessee. Mr.. Collins is one Of the
most enterprising anu skillful farmers in
the State, and has done a great deal to in
duce men Of capital and enterprise
in the North to settle in Tennessee.
He receives and enter.aiDs persons
coming 10 the State, and shows them the
country without reward. This hospitality
upon his part is cOmmedable. but it seems
10 us that il is imposing too much upon
him. Cannot some plan be devised oy
which arrangements may be made, 10 show
the country to all persons coming to see II
with a view of settling, as our people are
anxious to have the kind Of Immigrants

The railroad war wakes warm, and 1t
seems that free rides wall be the next thing
in order. The report began TO be ciTcula-
ted about the streets yesterday afternoon
that the ST. Louis and Southeastern road
had reduced the fare 10 Louisville to hity
cents. There were some too lncredulOus
TO believe it, and not a few said II was
simply hoax, but the appearance OF : CIR 1
cuIar announcing the fact dissipated all
doubt.
The matter was the subject OF much
discussion, and everybody seemed to be IN
the notion of going to Louisville. One
facetious chap was heard to remark that he
would 90 to Louisville, but would wait

ton, and paying passengers to patronize

Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1875-03-24
AIpena IlarbOr.

BY private telegram from Lam
sing we learn that the Alpena
harbor repeal bill has passed both
branches of the Legislature and
received the Governors signature.
this makes Alpeua o free harbor
again, which will no doubt be a
causc for our people to rejoice.
The first to oppose the paying
Of harbor dues at this point were
Bewick, Comstock & Co., who be-
lleved that the payment of such
harbor dues was unjust, and they
have fought against it to the end.
However, the credit of repeating
the obnoxious act, belongs to Hon.
w. L. Churchill, A. Pack and
A. w. Comstock. These gentle
man have spent much time and labor
and have been at no little expense
to bring about the repeal, which
they have always considered tight
and just to the people Of this coun-
ty. Mr.. Churchill has labored in.
defatigably in the cause, and as
he promised our people before his
election, has seen that the act which
compelled us to pay these dues, i
it could be done, Should be repeal
ed, now has the pleasure of seeing
Alpena harbor a free port.
The next thing now in order il
a lighthouse at the mouth of Thun
der Bay river, an appropriation
for that purpose having alread!
been granted by Congress. Their
IL we can secure an appropriate
from Congress for the proper i'm
provement of the harbor, which W.
do not think Congress ought t.
refuse, Alpena can, in few years
and with comparatively little ex
pense, boast of harbor equal t.
the best in the State.
Truly our People should rejoice
and they should not forget tina
their thanks are due to Hon. W. l.
Churchill, Albert Pack and A. w
Comstock, for the fesult attained.
