sssuch laws (stringent laws) may be made
most effectual by the vigilant efforts and
cooperation Of the civil and military au-
thorities. AS the effort or cooperation
Of the military can not be vigilant unless
the subject comes under their complete
control, and as without their cooperation
and vigilant effort the present system fails,
then the sooner the Government turns
the Indian question over to the military
the lighter the expense. and easier the

The Panama Star mourps over the
fact that the Pacific Mail STEAMSHIP
company and the Panama Railroad
company have raised freight to such an
exorbitant rate that the banana-pro-
ducers on the Isthmus will come to
grief, not being able to ship their fruit
to New York, except at q considerable
loss. When shipments can be made
so, 600 per month in American silver
is paid to producers. The law is there
fore keenly felt, and the seIfshness of
the transportation companies is evident
from the following paragraph theStar
When the Pacific Mail refused to di-
vide with the Panama railroad, the Pan
ANA railroad company then charged
sufficient freight for the two miles
transportation of the bananas to coyer
one-third of the two thousand miles sea
transportation. Meanwhile, these two
companies contend about the division
of freights, the banana merchants are
ground between the upper ard neither
mill-stones, their profits destroyed, their
business ruined, and the most important
branch of Isthmus exports vanishes.
THE recent death of Lady Franklin
brings to mind tho discovery by Capt.
McCGntock of the fate of Sir. John
Franklin. This is the dreary record :
son the 9Th of May Lieut.. Hobson
pitched his tent beside a largo cairn
upon Point Victory. Lying among some
loose stones, which had fallen from the
top of this cairn, was found a small tin
case containing n record, the substance
of which was as follows 'This cain
was built by the Franklin expedition
upon the assumed site of Sir James
Ross pillar, which had not been found.
The Erebus aud Terror spent their first
winter at Beechy Island, after having
assembled Wellington Channel to latitude
n deg. north, and returned by the west
side of CORVALLIS Island. On the 18th
of September, 1916, they were beset by
the ice. Sir John Franklin died on the
11th of June, 1847. On the Odd of
April, 1848, the ships were abandoned
five leagues to the north-northwest of
Point Victory, and the servivors. 1O5
IN number, landed here under the
command of Capt. Crozier.'" There
has been but little said of one
feature of the relics of the Franklin ex-
pedition. The discovery of hur2an
bones in kettles did not permit observers
to avoid the conclusion that the starving
men had cooked and eaten deceased
comrades.

SHERMAN AND DAVIS.

The AssassiHotioa Of LiHooh,- General Brggg on
the Stand Alleged Attempts to Assossjuate The
Confederate President
General Bragg was in the city several
days during the past week. He re-
ferTed, in the course of a conversation,
to the recent assertion of General Sher-
man that he had suspected Mr.. Jefler-
son Davis of completely with the as
sassins of Mr.. Abraham Lincoln. Gen
eral Bragg said that he had seen Mr..
Davis tested in cases of this sort, and
while two efforts were made by hired
assassins in 1864 to destroy Mr.. Davis
life ne never manifested the least signs
Of 1esentful feeling. It was IN June,
1864, that Mr.. Davis, when riding along
the defences of Richmond, was fired at,
the bullets passing very near his person
Once afterward he was shot st when IN
the outskirts of Richmond. But we
propose to settle this question finally.
Dahlgren's raid viii not soon be fO--
gotten. Col. Dahlgren's address, as
written and signed by him, was memo
rized and spoken or read 10 his follow,
ers. They were disguised as spies, and
we're captured as spies inside Of the
confederate lines. They came, as stated
TO murder Mr.. Davis. When they we're
captured and this paper was found on
the person of this man, DahlgTen, Mr..
Davis cabinet and his military staff con-
Cured in declaring that the prisoners
should be executed In accordance with
the laws Of war. President Davis, after
reading the paper and finding that he
especially was designed to be assassi-
mated by DahlgTen, peremptOriy forbade
other treatment than that accorded 70
prisoners of war. fGen. Bragg pre-
served photograph copies of Col. Dahl
gren's ordersl If MIR. Davis were
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1875-08-12

capable OF enOrmities which Gen. Sher-
man would ascribe to his intervention
he would never have hesitated to punish
with death the disguised followers of
Dahlgren. And would it not be well
for Gen. Sherman to remember that
MIR. Davis at ali time intervened in be-
half OF the condemned? It was the
complaint of many confederate leaders
that nobody could be executed who ap-
peaied to the president for pardon. he
spared Harrison Self, the bridge burner
of East Tennessee, and each uniOnist
who became a spy rather than soldier,
and was captured within the confederate
lines. OF all men Mr.. Davis personal
virtues and character have been most
grievoUsly misrepresented and misun-
derstood by northern people; even as
LincOln's character and spirit were at
first misapprebended throughout the
south. Mr.. Davis differed from MIR.
Lincoln in that-both Kentuckians and
both reared in the midst of the same
moral atmOsphere-Davis was elabor-
ately educated, and taught and refined
In all the schools while Lincoln's gen
erosity, neither greater nor purer than
that of MIR. Davis, was more coDspicu-
GUS because of his personal rudeness,
with which his womanly traits were in
strong contrast. Gen. Sherman is a
man of force and genius and slillful
warrior /; his selfishness, and thus his
vanity, is his most significant foible,
often degenerating into an objectionable
vice. Occupying his position he had no
right to ascribe a degree of c2iminality
to Mr.. Davis which could only be sup
posed just to the extent that partisans,
north and south, traduced Mr.. Davis in
order to make the cause he espoused
odious- Gen. Sherman, if morally a
great man, which he is not, because his
vices of intellect are great, should have
considered the facts before pronouncing
an opinion, as disgraceful to Sherman as
designed to be ruinous to Mr.. Davis per-
sonal fame.--AUStin IeJas States

Measles Pestnenee in the Fiji Islands,

The London Spectator gives the fol-
lowing account Of the fearful depopula-
tion OF the Fiji Islands by disease since
their recent acquisition by Great Britain:
"a British ship, it appears, landed
there some returned emigrants i'll with
the measles, and these men scattered TO
their homes. The disease being con-
sidered trivial by Europeans, no precau-
tions were taken, but, as usual when an
inferior race catches an infectious dis
ease from a superior one, its virUlence
was intensified, it speedily bee me q
plague, and the natives, naturally be-
fieying that it had been designedly in
troduced to kill them of, refused medi-
cine. and rushed into the sea to allevi-
ate the torment of the rash. The bath
ing produced acute dysentery, and 1t is
believed that most of the chiefs and
third of the populatiOn-say 5O,OOO per
sone-have died. There is no certainty
either that the worst is past, or that the
pestiIence may not be followed by
native outbreak, against which the
colonial office has taken precautions.
The native constabulary, who are under
discipline, have been compelled to sub
NIT to proper treatment, and none OF
them have died but though doctors
and medicine have been ordered from
Sydney, no power exists to compel the
natives to use either.
