Congressional.

The Memphis Appeal of the 81 has the
following resume of proceedings in Con-
gress:
The time of the Senate was yesterday
mainly occupied with the discussion of
the japanese indemnity bill, pending
which executive session was ordered and
adjournment was had before a vote was
taken. The Belknap impeachment was
up, but no progress was made. Senator
Edmunds introduced a resolution evil
IDENTIFY aimed at Chinese immigration,
which was laid over. A report from the
Centennial commissioners, and an invi-
tation to be present at the opening of the
exposition, was received.
fhe question of the Presidents refusal
TO permit original papers to leave any of
the departments was up in the house, but
no result was reached. Mr.. Wells No. ]
from the committee or appropriations re-
ported bill appropriating sixteen thou
sand dollars for the maintenance of lights
on the Mississippi, Ohio and Missouri
rivers, passed. The offer of Hallet Kill
bourn was laid on the table. A resOlu-
ton of inquiry into Blain's Fort Smith
and Little Rock railroad matter was
adopted. The resolution of censure of
Mr.. John Young Brown, of Kentucky,
by the last house, was reScinded and eX-
plunged. Mr.. POyne, from the commit
tee on banking and currency, reported 4
bill authorizing the secretary of the
treasury, under such limits and regula-
lions rs will best secure just and fair
distribution of silver coin throughout
the country, to issue the silver coin now

HOr SPRINGs.-The Supreme Court Of
the United States rendered decision the
other day whieEi fas i5y sets st rest the
titietO the AEka5ssE Hot Springs (which
has been In CSsirfs for - many years
The wonderful medicinal qualities of
these springs were known fully seventy
five years ago, while the whole State of
Arkansas was vet Wilderness, The
Spanish Argonauts, or rather their de-
sesndants, who were still operating the
gold and silver mines of Mexico, made
their pilgrimases TO these Springs in Pur-
suit of health, while the Indian tribes
who inhabited that territory aseribed to
them the restoring qualities which Ponce
de Leon sought after in his Fountain of
Youth. When the Indians were dispOs-
sessed Oft during the Presidential Adj
ministratiOn of John Quincy Adams,
the General Government made a special
reservation of the tract ON which the Hot
Springs was located, setting it aside for
public use, just as our National parks
have since been set aside. In the year
1929 an earthquake sunk a large area of
land below Cairo, rendering homeless
quite number of settlers who had bought
il Of the Government. To make these
settlers good for what they had lost Con-
gress passed a law giving them scrip
which authorized them to locate an equal
number of acres TO that which they had
lost on any of the uuOcupied public lands.
This Hot Springs tract was not occupied,
and somehow the original reservation of
it was forgotten or overlooked, and sever
al of the parties who held this scrip went
in and occupied il, receiving patents
therfor. They were allowed peaceable
occupation of the same for 4 number of
years, but some time ia 1850 or 1851, when
they began to realize big profits from the
Springs, the old Government reservation
was raked up and the Courts appealed TO,
in order to dispossess them. The case
was carried up, of course, and, with the
war intervening, it was long time in
reaching a final disposition. Finally,
the Supreme Court decided the other day
that the reservation held good against
even Government patent, and the tract
again becomes the property of the United
States. The Springs are ROW valued at
millions of dollars. There are 1000 pa
tients there the year round, and the rev.
enues derived from them are enormous.
The improvements that have been made
there, owing TO the cloudy title, have
hitherto been of the cheapest and most
temporary character. Ii would scarcely
do for the Government to build a hotel
and 20 TO keeping it, but, still, Congress
will have to do something with the prem
ises. They can't keep hotel. but they
may let out the job to somebody. Are
there no Lelands unemployed at this
time ?-Cincinnati Enquirer.

5. KneeIand & T Green, ut the Printing
House in Green street, Monday, Ap'l Sth,
I72s,'' Just OBe k,Eadrsd and -Jorty eight
years ago.
The paper proposes to contain from
time to time, among other things, as well
as advertisements, the ''AIost Remarkable
Occurrences, Foreign and Domestic"
But little of a political nature appears
in this issue, enough however, to set
forth its true loyalty TO the Crown.
Among the news items, / notice, as Ia
ken from a London paper of Nov. llth,
1927, the following:
''The fever which ragged here and in
the country, is very much abated; but
they write from Amsterdam, that for 5
weeks their Burials have amounted to 600
per week, they are now risen to 700 and
'tis reckoned they had 10000 Persons ly-

Among the Advertisements, are these:
"ChOice New Coffee, to be sold by Ma
than Savage, at his House in Brattle

"a very likely Negro Woman who can
do Household work, and is either fit for
Town or Country service, about % years

These are a few of the interesting
items contained in the paper (Which is
i'm fine state of preservation if you
deem these worth place in your paper
and of interest to your numerous readers,

COUNTY CoNVENTIoN.-The Democrat
ic Convention which met on Monday last,
was a small one but the members were in
good working order, and did business
with neatness and dispatch. the usual
string of resolutions were not fOrtheOm-
ing, and this was altogether proper
some COUNTIES are passing sundry resolu-
>tiOns, Constructing platforms, and ''blO-
Whiting generally about men and things.
They exhibit the usual devices OF rural
politicians, which have served to bring
platform makers into disrepute. The
greatest scoundrel ia America, Ben But
Ter, used to write the best platform. 1t
was piece of political mosaic framed to
to catch the darling innOcents" Of the
old Democratic party. Our people had
better mind how they "resolute" and
talk out in meeting. Somebody has got
TO eat ga good deal of crow" before the
canvass closes, and Southern Democrat
who has been pulling over the pulpy

The CHINESE PKoBLEM.-The Chinese
influx into California has sorely beset the
Lawmakers of the Pacific coast, and it is
even attracting attention in Congress-.
Our notion is, that the people-the work
ingnlen especially-will settle the bust
ness in practical way and make the
country too hot for the Chinaman, a dis
patch from San Francisco of the LIST in
forms us that on Saturday evening the
Chinese quarter of the town of Antioch,
near the mouth of the San Joaquin River,
burned. There is no doubt that IL was
the work Of the white citizens instigated
by the fact that a number of white boys
were discovered TO be victims of their
own indiscretion in visiting the lewd
dsns in that portion of the town. The
Chinese had been previously warned to
leave town ON the first knowledge of the
fact, on Saturday last, and most of them
obeyed the order. Those who remained
till the fire broke out fled unmolested.
All the houses were burned, except two,
which were removed. This morning no
personal violence was offered the Chi
nese, though the excitement was great,
and large crowds gathered to witness
the destruction of the habitations
The daily laborers of American birth
find themselves unable to compete with
Chinese labor without reducing them
selves and their families to the lowest
serfdom, and hence they win eradicate
the evil by the most violent remedy. No
element can long exist in a hostile neigh
borhood against public sentiment, and
we, therefore, look for an early expul-
sion of the Chinese from California. No
legislation can mix too nations SO thor
oughly opposite in their habits, customs
and mode Of living as the celestials and
the progressive yankees, one alone can
survive the contact, and whilst the ira
ditions of our government are favorable
to foreign immigotiOn, the sons of the
soil will not likely pass under an alien
yoke.

OHIo.-The political pool in this state
is being deeply stirred, and there h. con-
siderable feeling cropping out in the
county meetings. The contest is between
uncle and nephew, and with the chances
at this time in favor of the uncle. Had
William Alien carried the last October
election we think he would certainly
have received the democratic nomination
for the Presidency, and his failure to
carry Ohio was attributable to the well
known opposition of Senator Thurman.
1t is now evident that Ohio will send
divided delegation to St. Lonis, but ma
jority Of her delegates will vote for Gov
ernor Allen. This stand of Ohio in ia
vOr of Allen is most important one,
and If she refuses to support Thurman
or TiIden it Is difficult to see how either
these gentlemen can be nominated, I'M
less united South should be enlisted in
their behalf. The presidential problem
is hard to solve, and we are much afraid
that our discord is not altogether good
kind of harmony.

The recent elections in Indiana were
purely local, and, perhaps, have no posi-
tive bearing on the presidential election,
yet they show Republican gains through
out the State and may be put down as IA
vOrable omens in the interest of Cover
nor Morton. In Louisiana and Missis-
sippi the returns speak well for the
democracy. In the last mentioned State
Aberdeen has been redeemed, and Capt.
Thos. B. Sykes, democrat, has been
elected mayor by 1O3 majority, whilst in
Louisiana New Orleans has been wrench
ed from the spoilers and placed in the
democratic column.
