SOUTHERN WAR CLAIMS.

The Ottawa Republican continues manner
ing away at an exceedingly attenuated and
diaphonous humbug known as the southern
war claims bugaboo, and really seems to
think it has readers sufficiently unsophisti.
Gated to be deluded by that sort of swash.
Says:the veraclous Hepublican
"The organ FREE TRADER does not, in
its labored effort, show that the aggregate Of
claims embraced in three House bills, amount.
ing to $2,470,5 65, 4SS, as published in The Re-
publican is either false or exaggerated, for
the simple reason that 1t cannot do so.''
Bless pour soul! the "organ" FREE IRA.

thing OF the kind, no more than it would at

tician.
Where In the world did this ridiculous
talk about two thousand millions of war
claims originate anyhow? What an amaze
ment it would be to mind like Cullen's II II
could take in few facts on the subject. For
instance, Mr.. Henry II. Smith, who has been
clerk of the war claims committee during the
last three congresses and is such still, (and,
by the way, is q good republican to boot0
has recently published a statement on this
subject, from which it appears that there were
only 1887 bills of all kinds, including war
claims from Northern as well as Southern
states, ever introduced and referred to the
house committee on war claims. OF these
l,03l were old claims, pending before previ-
GUS congresses, 1859 were brought back for
rehearing, and but 81 new cases presented at
the las. congress. Mr. Smith further AYERS
that the whole amount covered by these
1887 bills, should every one of them be allow
ed would be but $2s 100000.
1t may be added, IN this connection, that
the true record to scrutnlze, when this war
clam business is considered, is that of bills
reported from the committee and passed by
the house. and this the Republican is very
careful to ignore. Mr.. Smith says that 100
war.clalms bills were reported favorably by
the Forty third congress, aggregating 50, $751;
600, and only SO, ggregatingS215,361 by the
Forty.fourth, while the bills actually passed
called for $74,453 So if there is any danger
of the country being ruined by war claims, it
IS evidently in the election Of Republican
congress-

What q Plant Did.

A little plant was given to sick girl. In
trying to take care of it the family made
changes in their way of living. First, they
cleaned the window, that more light might
come to its leaves; then, when not to cold,
they would open the window, that fresh air
might help the plant to grow. Next, the
clean window made the rest of the room
look so untidy that they used to wash the
floor and walls and arrange the furniture
more neatly. This led the father of the
familyto mend q broken chair or two, which
kept him a. home several evenings. After
the work done he stayed home, instead of
spending his leisure at a tavern, and the
money thus saved went to buy comforts for
them all. And then, as the home grew at
tractive, the whole family loved It better
than ever before, and grew healthier and
happier with their flowers. Thus the little
plant brought real as we'll as physical
blessing.

A Blighted Mind.

[From the Phila. Times, Yesterday
Evelina Fraser, bright-looking colored
woman, sat in the new Conrt House dock
yesterday; charged with infanticide, and
when any one gazed at her too intently or
when Clerk Galton bade her look upon the
jurors being selected to try her cause, she
would laugh aloud in the heartiest manner
evidently highly delighted at the novelty
and prominence Of her position. T. Horace
Thorp, Esq, was assigned by the court to
the prisoners defense and Mr.. Gibbons as
sisted him. The allegations, substantiated
by numerous witnesses, were that on july
last the prisoner threw her newly-born
babe into an clubhouse in the rear of her
residence, No. 2O09 Federal street. The
child was recovered and taken to the Aims.
house, where 1t died from the exposure it
had been subjected to. The defence pro-
duced no witnesses, and in fact the prisoner
could not be convinced that her counsel
were other than willy detectives, and posi-
lively refused to have anything to say to
them. 1t was argued that she was evidently
weak-minded, and should not be held to a
strict accountability by the moral rule that
ordinarily governs mems actions. District
Attorney Sheppard said he would not OBJ
ject to verdict of manslaughter, and Judge
Hare acquiescing, the jury found such
verdict Still persisting that she was not to
be frightened, she was sentenced to two
years imprisonment in the Eastern Pcniten-
tiary.

Fight with Sitting Bull.

The Pioneer Press has a special dispatch
from Bismarck which says that Gen. Miles
had successful fight after an unsuccessful
council with Sitting Bull on the 21st and
22d of October, on Cedar Creek, killing a
number of Indians and wounding many
Miles own loss was two men wounded, He
chased the Indians about 60 miles, when,
they divided, one portion going toward the
agency and the other with Sitting Bull to-
ward Fort Peck, General Miles following
the latter. General Hazen has gone to Fort
Peck with four companies of infantry and
rations for General Miles. Sitting Bull
crossed the river below Fort Peck on the
24Lh inst. He sent Word to the agent that
he was coming in and would be friendly, but
wanted ammunition.

Troops Wanted In North Carolina,
[From the Wilmington Star.

LFTOm the wilmington Star
Judge Settle has evidently thrown np the
sponge. He has petitioned Grant to send
troops to North Carolina. Here is what he
did, according to very influential Baptist
paper, the EXAMINER and Chronicle. !"
That paper of October 26, says:
"Judge Settle, the Republican candidate
for Governor of North Carolina, has written
a letter to the President, in which he repre-
sents that the western counties of the
State, bordering upon South Carolina, are
subject to incursions from the armed rifle
clubs of the latter State, who combine with
the Democrats in the counties referred to,
and threaten the peace of that State. He
asks that federal troops may be sent there
at once in order to protect Republican vo-
ters."

AS our readers are aware, g new
County Justice is to elect IN the first
district, composed of Jefferson, Mon
roe and Rochester townships, to fill
the vacancy caused by the death OF
Judge Shanks-Judgc Brooks APP
pointmcnt only reaching to the first
election. 1t is an admitted fact that
the appointment of JudgeBrooks gave
general satisfaction to the people OF
that district. lie has performed the
duties of the Office satisfactorily and
conscientiously, and it was the wish
of the majority Of the Democracy of
that township that he should be nom-
mated. But not much were their
wishes needed by that little body of
men that met together to nominate
o candidate to suit themselves, and
presented to the people the name of
James Strock. This strange conduct
has created surprise, and the people
want a fair and square explanation.
To say that Mr.. Strock is a good citi-
zen, a competent and popular man, is
no answer to the question. From
what we can learn, this result was
brought about by a clique that con-
spired together to advance their own
selfish ends and preferences, and TO
cheat Judge Brooks out of q nomiua-
ton to which he was fairly entitled
by the preferences Of his party.
