The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-12-07

Colonel Zacharie, OF the Democratic
Counsel, called the attention of the board
to the following facts: That when returns
from Ouaehita Parish were opened by the
board, it was announced by the Secretary
that they had been received on the Oath, the
day before they were opened. When turned
over to the Democratic Counsel for inspee-
ton, there was found in a sealed package,
said to have been received on the Oath, the
following letter:
NEW ORLEANS, November %, 1876.
To C. SabeH, Esq, Secretary Returning Board:
SIR-Inclosed please find affidavit of Eliza Pinks-
ton, which / received too late to file with my re-
turns. Please see that it is brought in with other
afiiavfts filed with my returns.
Respectfully,
Col. Zacharie stated that two fscts were
established first, that the statement of the
Secretary that the papers were filed on the
Oath was untrue, because the letter found in
the sealed package shows that the returns
had been filed with the Secretary before the
Esd; and it shows, second, that as this letter
and affidavit of Eliza Pinkston were botl
found in the sealed package, it is shown that
the Secretary of the Board has complied
with the request of the Supervisor, and tina
he opened the package and put into it tn,
affidavit, and by mistake the letter of the
Supervisor also.
The matters was referred to the considera
ton of the Board.
The Board adjourned, subject to the cal
of the President.
The clerks are now compiling the return
of the election, and the Electoral vote, a
least, will be promulgated on Tuesday.
The Republican Visiting Committees de
parted homeward this afternoon.

Upon the subject of small arms General
Benet says he deems it of the most vital
importance that the manufacture of arms
be steadily continued in quantities sufficient
to render a gradual accumulation of them
in store a certainty. That q better arm
than the Springfield may some day be
invented is not at all improbable, and q
magazine gun will no doubt be the arm OF
the future, but until such an arm, suitable
for the military service, has been perfected
and approved, a reserve stock OF Spring
fields is a necessity.
A necessity for an increase of the appro.
| priation for arming and equipping the
militia of the country is represented under
the head of Armament and Notifications"
An estimate of $950,000 is submitted for the
next fiscal year. The conversion of smooth.
bore guns into efficient eight-inch rifles
has progressed satisfactorily. The coiled
wrought iron tubes used in the conversion
nave been imported, but a trial of q gun
with a tube of domestic manufacture
has given the best results, and proved
conclusively that our product is equal to thu
imported, notwithstanding the long expert
ence in such work in English shops. De
pendence can now be placed on private en-
terprise and the skill of our W people TO
the tubes for e%ight.inch rifles, and, IN tn.
preparation of guns of that nature, material
labor, and machinery will meet all our re
q~uirements. The eight-inch rifle witt
American tnbe has successfully withstoo'
over 500 rounds with battering charges, an
remains in serviceable condition up to date
Three guns of this class have been tested wit
the most satisfactory results-two eight-ine
and one n%ine-inch caliber, all conVerte
from ten-inch smoothbores.

The Report of the Chief of Ordnance.

General Benet, the Chief of Ordnance, in
his annual report, recommends a large in
crease of appropriations for the use of the
Ordnance Department for the next fiscal
year, over those for the present year. He
says:
1.-THE limited appropriations made by Con-
gress, much below estimates submitted by
this Bureau, have, in many instances, pre-
vented the supplying of the army on the
frontier with that superior quality of
ordnance stores which the nature of such
service demands, and in the attempt to
utilize the material remaining on hand
from the late war, every care and effort has
been exercised in its selection and prepare
ton to meet the wants of troops, but with
more or less dissatisfaction, inseparable
from the size of the old material, and its
obsolete patterns. Explanations to this
effect have had to be made to the officers in
command of the troops, in defense of the
troops, in defense of the action of this De-
partment, where the responsibility for
limited appropriations can not rest"
The report recommends the retention of
the Benieia Arsenal on the Pacific Coast
the Rock Island Arsenal in the Mississippi
Valley; the National Armory at Springfield,
Miss; the Frankfort Arsenal in Pennsyl.
vanis, and the erection of an arsenal in the
vicinity of New York out of the proceeds
of the sales Of those not required. The Allie.
gheny, Watervliet, WATERFOWL, and Wash
ington Arsenals should be sold. The Indian.
apolis, Kennebec, Fort Monroe, Augusta,
and San Antonio Arsenals should be re.

The Indian Campaign.

The official report of Colonel Mackenzie,
Colonel of the 4th Cavalry has been received
at military headquarters. 1t states that
about noon on the Oath ult., while marching
in a southwesterly direction, toward the
Sioux Pass of the Big Horn Mountains, i've
advance scouts met him, reporting that he
main camp of the Cheyennes was about
fifteen or twenty miles distant. About sun
set the command began moving toward the
hostiles, reaching the village after daylight,
completely surprising the Indians and com
polling them to vacate the village suddenly
and take refuge in a ravine. After a brisk
fight, lasting an hour, and skirmlshlng till
night, they capitulated.
The entire village, having 173 lodges,
with all its contents, was destroyed. Five
hundred ponies were captured, and twenty
five Indian bodies were found.
1t is almost certain that a much larger
number were killed.
Five soldiers and one officer were killed
on our side, and twenty-five wounded, be-
sides one Shoshone, a scout belonging to us
Fifteen cavalry horses, and four horses Of
the Indian scouts were killed.
The command moved to camp on Powder
River, whence this report was made on thu
26th inst.
Lieut.. McHenry, of the Fourth Cavalry
who was killed, was one of the most gallan'
officers and honorable of men.
Gen. Crook, in transmitting the above re
port, says: 81 can not commend too highly
this brilliant achievement and gallantry O
the troops. This will be q terrible blow to
the hostiles, as these C~heyennes were ne
only the bravest warriors, but have beef
head and front of most of the raids an
deyiltry committed in this country.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-12-07
The Gutta Percha Insect.

The seemingly indigestible character
of gutta percha, and the slight promise
of nutriment which it held out to the
wandering parasite, early indicated it as
one Of the most useful agents in which to
invest submarine Geographic cables, and
it is s%uperfuous to observe that it has
been extensively employed in that di-
rection. But when nature discovers a
new substance, no matter how tough and
insoluble, she seems invariably to hasten
the discovery or creation of some worm
or insect which hungers for the said par
ticular substance as the ostrich hunger
eth for the horseshoe and the marlin.
spike. The marine enemy of gutta
percha has affirmed himself, and in the
depths of all the oceans he is doubtless
at this moment busily engaged in biting
succulent chunks out of that tenacious
enamel, to the serious peril of the wires
which it was applied to protect. 1t will
now devolve on chemistry to discover
some new mode of preparing the gum
which shall thwart the destructive de-
signs of the parasite, and, so to speak,
flank his dietetic position, otherwise a
new element of insecurity will depress
and derange the business of ocean tele-
graphy, and messages will constantly
run off the broken wires into the subma-
rine mud, exposing the secrets of the
State Department and the Stock Ex-
change 10 the ground-sharks, skates,
jelly-fsh and miscellaneous radiatG which
inhabit there. Fancy a New York Her
aid special dispatch stuck in the middle
of the telegraphic plateau with a school
of curious porpoises around it like a
crowd around a bulletin trying t make
out Bismarck's policy or the last debate
of the Skouptchina. Such things as
these may happen, unless the ravages OIL
this abnormal insect are in some way ar.
rested, or another sort of mail be devised
warranted to disagree with the mos
iron-clad stomach of the most ravenoui
insect thus far c~Ognizable by naturalists
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-12-07
Report of the Chief of the Engineer
Corps.

The annual report of Gen. A. A. Hum
phreys, Chief of Engineers, has been
completed. 1t presents a detailed state
ment of the various operations of the
Engineers Department during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1875; sketches
those which are now in progress, and
makes numerous recommendations for
the future. The number of officers hold
ing commissions in the corps of Engi-
neers, United States Army, at the end
of the fiscal year was 107 on the active
list and five on the retired list. The
latter, however, under the law of JAN
uary q, 1870, are not available for duty.
In the duties devolving upon the corps
by law the employment ola number Of
scientists and assistant engineers has been
necessary.
After a careful study of the subject of
sea-coast defenses by the Corps OF Engi-
neers, and with the light afforded by the
experience of actual conflict between
~sea-coast defense and the new naval
ornaments, tine system to govern the
future construction of our works was
elaborated in 1869, and received the ap-
prevail of the General of the Army and
the Secretary of War, and since then has
been repeatedly Endorsed by action of
Congress. The main features of this
system are the use of heavy earthen bar
bette batteries with parados and ira
verses of heavy mortar batteries, and OF
distractions in the channels (mainly
electricaltorpedoes) to hold vessels from
running past the batteries and reaching
the cities or depot beyond them. Works
of this character have been steadily pro-
crossing since 1869, and in many of our
harbors are well advanced toward com
pletion, but in none of the harbors are
these alterations finished, while in some
of our important harbors along the Gull
Coast the works are scarcely commenced.
Regarding the present necessity fol-
the completion of the works in advance
of hostilities, Gen. Humphrey urges the
preparation of our harbor for a successful
resistance against incursions of the pow.
erful iron-clads of the present day.
Among the estimates for the appro
pr~iations which Gen. Humphreys earn,
estly recommends are the following
For completing defensive works at Fort
Jackson, Mississippi River. $4,000
Fort Phillips, Mississippi, $4,000.

The Louisiana Election.

New Orleans, Nov. 27.-The Returning
Board meta IL q. M, all the members being
present, and a large crowd in the lobby.
The visiting Republicans were Messrs.
~Stoughton, Van Allen, Kelly, Park, and
Hale; Democrats, Messrs. Palmer, Smith,
Trumbul, and Julian. Democratic counsel
were present during the proceedings.
After calling the Board to order, President
Wells stated that the Board would decline
to hear read any motions or protests what
ever.
The Board thereafter went into executive
session, and the room was cleared of all
persons, except the members of the
committees. In executive session the
Board examined returns from the
following parishes and wards viz:
BienVille, West Baton Rouge, Bossier, Cald-
well, Carroll, Claiborne, Jefferson; More
house, Rapides, Red River, st. Landry,
Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth,
Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, Thirteenth: FIT.
tenth, and Seventeenth Wards of the
Parish of Orleans. These returns were ex-
amined and laid over for future
action, there being protests and contests in
each case. In the Seventh Ward of Orleans
Parish the Supervisors threw out the vote
of one of the polls, where there was a ma
jority of 173 for the Tilden Electors, on the
BI6unQ LnhI Ln6 vote nd0 uOL D6en counted
and returned within twenty-four hours after
the close of the election. The Board ad-
journed until ten o'clock, a. m, tomorrow.
New Orleans, November 30.-The East
Baton Rouge case was called up. The boxes
from the seven polls in which the Commits.
sioners' returns and tally-sheets had been
locked up, either by error or design, were
brought before the Board, that they might
be opened to obtain the result of the election
at those polls, the Parish Supervisor having
omitted any mention of them in his
consolidated statement. After a long dis
cussion the Board decided not to open the
boxes or to consider any statement as to the
vote other than that received from the
Supervisor. Similar action was taken in the
case of ~TOngipahoa, where the vote of one
poll was not returned by the Supervisor,
By this action the Democrats lose ,136 votes
in East Baton Rouge.
New Orleans, Dec. 1.-The Returning
Board met at IL a. m, all the members
present. The Democratic Committee was in
the room, but for the Republicans there ap.
peared only Senator Sherman. A great
quantity OF written evidence of witnesses in
contested cases was filed by Democratic
and Republican counsel. The Democratic
counsel also entered a protest in regard tt
the manner in which the Committee haC
been treated in the matter of opening re
turns; also an objection against receiving
any protests, except those accompanying
Supervisors returnsin the manner and form
provided for by law.

Fechter ILL on the Stage.

While Charles Fechter was playing
Claude Melnotte in the "Lady of Ly-
ons," at Utica, he was taken suddenly
ill. In that peculiarly poetic passage
where Melnotte describes to Pauline his
palace and grounds at Lake Como,
Fechter, who was throwing his whole
soul into his words, faltered, became
dizzy, leaned heavily on Miss Price, and,
addressing the audience, stated that he
was unable to proceed then. The cur-
tain fell, Fechter retired to his room,
and the audience waited in patience for
the temperance of the actor or an an
nouncement of his complete inability to
proceed with the play. At the end of
five minutes the curtain rose, and Fech-
ter, seemingly with increased power,
recommended the scene. In the interval
between the lowering and raising Of the
curtain, while he reclined on a couch, he
had drank of and been bathed in brandy
and recovered himself. We are told
that Fechter has been advised that if he
would prolong his life he must quit the
stage. The love of an audiences ap-
plause conquers the fear of death, and
he will probably die some time before
the footlights, as SO many actors have
before him.
