Proclamation by Gov. Hendricks.

THE RAILROAD STRIKERS TOLD TO DISPENSE
TIIEE PROPER COURSE POINTED OUT TO
THEM.
INDIANAPOLIS, ND, August 15.-Govern-
or Hendricks has issued the following pro-
clamatiOn
have been officially informed that large
body OF persons employed upon the Ohio
and Mississippi railway have banded to-
gether for the purpose Of obstructing the
passage OF trains upon said road, and for
several days, by force, have prevented the
transaction OF freight and shipping bust
ness, and have stopped and now detaln
upon and along the road many trains laden
with live stock and products on their way
to market. whereby great public InconVe-
nicnce and loss are sustained. | have been
informed also that in the county OF Knox
the sheriff has been and is unable to
meet and resist the large force OF
persons so ln!awfully banded together.
lie has, therefore, called Upon me to render
him such assistance as ~ he necessary to
maintain the public peace and the authorl-
ties OF the law. The welfare OF society and
prosperity OF business throughout IN I'M
Dortant section of the country require that
the organization be ~ once diSbanded. The
authority OF the law must be restored Per-
sons interested in the shipment OF the pro-
ducts OF the country to market have right
to the ENJOYMENT OF a feeling OF security in
respect thereto, which becomes impossible
when such combinations for such purposes
can exist with impunity. No justification
can be found in the fact that the railway
company may have failed in any Of its obli-
cations towards its employees. For such
failure the remedy provided by law is to be
found in the courts and not in irregular and
dangerous proceedings. BY violent and I'M
lawful proceedings the right cannot be
maintained orthe law vindicated.
| call upon all who are connected with
these bands. to withdraw from them ut
once, and place themselves on the side OF
lawful authority. In breaking down the
authority Of the law you do society great
wrong. You cannot expect safety in NIL
tual pledges to stand by each other in TN
lawful proceedings. The law is stronger
than your pledges. You will be overtakcn.
The agencies and instrumentalities OF the
law will reach you as citizens. You cannot
afford to stand in the attitude OF law-break-
crs. l call upon YOU to disband at once
and return to your cmployments, and ny
wiser and safer means you will be able 10
maintain your rights.
T~Call upon TIC pNpllC oliICcio w 'AeieiHc
I'LL the powers with which they are endowed
to break up this combination and to bring
guilty members, who may remain contu-
macious, to punishment; and for the main-
tcnancc of the law and perseverance OF the
public peace l invoke the sentiments and
Judgment Of the people against all combine
tons for unlawful purposes.
Given under the seal OF the State and
hand of the Governor, at indianapolis. this
18th day of August, \. D. 1876.

1t may quiet the unfounded fears Of some
persons who do not know much about such
things to be told that the James river is not
amongst those which General GRANT says
shall not get the benefit OF the money which
Congress appropriated 10 them in bill
signed by himself. AS Richmond is in
population the twenty-fourth city in the
Union-that is, high up on the list-so the
James river occupies place equally. high
amongst the rivers OF the country. Fir-
ginians may initiate NAAMAN the Syrian,
and declare that their rivers are
as good rs the best There are hundreds Of
streams mentioned in the river and harbor
bill. The names Of some Of. them ought
never to have appeared there. But the James
river is not one of these. Nor have we any
idea that even the AppomattoX is one Of
them. No stream whose Improvement was
recommended by Colonel CRAIGHILL is
amongst the prescribed.
We say some OF these little streams ought
never to have had any money appropri-
atcd 20 them. But it has been so
appropriated. And it will be much
better for the country that the money thus
appropriated should even be wasted than
that the President should be allowed to
override law and consult only his own
whims and preiudices as to where the pub
lie money shall he expended Congress
might as well abdicate its functions. 1t
would be nothing but q farce to have that
body porting over these bills for months,
and providing where tho money shall
be spent, II the President is to
be permitted afterwards to strike out from
them every item which displeases him.
Nay, not only every item that might not
strike his fancy, but every town and every
district that might happen to displease him
would be the subject OF his malignity and
prejudice. OF course, that would not do
the first year. But let the practice be once
instituted and it will not be five years be-
fore even Richmond will be at the feet Of
the President praying for his goodwill
"and an appropriation"

lwHAT AN ANY SHArLKR KNOWS About THE
81 APPROPRIATION OF $500 TAKEN FROM 4 SOL
DER BEFORE HIS EXECUTION. ~ ri
s TopEKI. KAN, August ID, 1876. AT the
Organization OF a Tilden and Hendricks
club at Independence, in this State, on last
Saturday. General w. r. Brown, VINO was
colonel OF the Thirteenth West virginia
Volunteers during the war, was calicd
on TO state what he knew OF the facts feiated
by the Rev. w. W. Sharper in recent letter
in which he charged General z. Is. Hayes
with appropriating S400 which belonged to
eola;er,s mother. General Brown corrobo-
rated the statement OF the chaplain fully, and
said he was present when the chaplain was
called to minister to the soldier before
the execution was near by when the IN
fortunate man gave his effects to the chap
lain: was present when the sergeant OF
General Hayes ordered the chaplain to re-
mort to him with the effects OF the soldier, ana
stated that on the chaplain's return he SAID
General Hayes claimed the $500 rs belong
ing to the Government, and should be used
to secure another soldier, and took the mo,
new from him. General Brown statea
that the Major, Albert McCouren, OF
Pomeroy, Ohio, was also familiar win
the facts said chaplain was .,lndie-
nant at General Hayes because ne
thought be had no right to demand OF MN
the money, as the soldier had requested II 70
be returned to his mother il she couio De
found, and says he thinks that General
Hayes madea mistake in taking the money,
as the Government had no right to it, but
thinks lie will be able to give an account OF
it: does not believe that General Hayes
would appropriate it to his own use:
General Brown Is a man OF eminent re-
sponsibility in his community, and his state
ments are credited by every one 10 sho"
the big estimate in which he is held by
Hayes himself it need only be stated ne re-
ceivcd letter from him on the 9th OF July
in reply to his congratulations. 1t was
signed by Alfred y. Lee, private secretary.
The affair created disgust and chagrin
among Republicans in Montgomery county.
The remarks OF General Brown were made
in the presence OF about thirty persons. He
had. however. told the incident to .prolnl-
ncnt citizens several weeks ago, before Its
publication in Ohio.
