KEAPPORIION MENT.

Several of our exchanges are wasting
ammunition IN shooting at dead ducks in
discussing the report of the Senate Com
mittee of the late Legislature upon sp-
portionment of representation. The
report, which if it had been adopted,
would have operated very unfairly as lar
as Ohio county is concerned, with the
body which incubsted it, has faded into
rothingness, and Is not worthy of resur-
ection. Our Senator (Mr. CALDwELL)
very skilfully managed to trample it in
its infancy and it died an early death IN
the Senate. AS the question cannot be
reopened until after the assembling of
the next legislature it seems to
US little premature to dis
cuss it now, although our neighbor the
Mtetligeneer has been gathering some
very interesting and valuable statistics,
which will be of use in the future in case
they should be needed.
Fixing an entirely fair basis of repre-
sentation is at any time an e1ccedinly
difficult matter, and WAS subject that
gave eur late Constitutional Convention
no little trouble, and the present appor-
tionment was thought TO be as fair as
could be arrived at. Viewing the case
in every possible light, We are constrain-
ed in the language of the hteitigencer to
admit 1--WE are at loss to conjecture what
necessity has come upon us so suddenly
for the proposed change" If occasion
requires il We will discuss this question
ut more length in the future.

THE COURT OF IMPEACHMENT.

THE COURT Of lMfEAGhhESI.
Yesterday morning, after the reading
of the journal, the Court of impeachment
again closed its doors for the further con-
sideration of the question pending at the
hour of adjournment on the day before.
After two hours spent in secret session
the doors were opened, and his Honor,
Judge RAYMOND, announced that the
Court had decided not to admit the evil
of the witness, ScRoGGIN, which was
offered for the purpose Of proving the
statement made by the defendant on his
examination as witness before the Com
mittee OF Investigation.
Senator DENNIS then submitted
proposition to allow the managers to give
in evidence such statements of the de-
PENDANT made before the committee rs
were entirely voluntary. Upon this
proposition Judge RAYMOND delivered
an opinion at some length, in which he
showed that the object of the 10th Sec
ton Of chapter l52 Of the code was to az
ford the government the most ample
means of detecting abuses by requiring
officers and others to give testimony of
facts which might implicate themselves
in criminal conduct, but at the same time
to carefully secure to such witnesses the
benefit Of the constitutional immunity
by providing that no statement made in
any legal proceeding, should begiven in
evidence in any criminal prosecution
against them, except in . prosecution for !
perjury, or in an action on a penal

CUSTER.
He Kills Six Indians with His Own Hand.

Sioux CRY, Iowa, July 13.-The
agency Indians along the upper Mis-
souri,, who have received an account
of Clusters fight through some hostile
Indians who took part in it, say that
Custer shot three Indians with his
pistol and killed three others with his
saber, when be fell, shot through the
head by Observation-Disclosures" chief
whom Custer had forcibly arrested
some time ago for murder. The In
dams lost 20 killed, among them
many noted chiefs. The fight was
hand to hand. The Indians say they
did not fear the pistols as much as
they did the sabers They are near
ly out of ammunition and will not
fight again until they got supply
from the agencies.
HIS HEART CUT OUT AS A TROPHY.
SIOUX CITY, Iowa, July 13.-The
Indians who came into the hostile
camp near Fort Sully to-day say
that after Grain in-the-Face" shot
Gen. Custer, he cut his heart out,
placed 1T on pole, and paraded with
it through the camp; that when the
Indians broke camp and retreated
from the scene Of the slaughter they
were greatly demoralized, but that
they occasionally halted and bad a
dance around the bloody trophy
which they designated as the heart
of the great yellow haired white
chief. Previous reports, received
through military sources, have stated
that Clusters remains were not mu-
tilated, but these Indians state en-
phatically that the above is true, and
take great satisfaction in the fact that
Rain. in-the. Face has fulfilled his
threat against the great white chief
who once Inundated him.

An In genious Piece Of Mechanism

A New Castle (Pa.) watch maker,
named Rochrer, has invented piece
of ingenious mechanism, which is
thus described: 1t consists of set OF
gold studs, in one of which is minia-
ture watch, which keeps excellent
time. The combined weight of the
twostuds and the watch. which are
all connected together, is one ounce
and a half. The face of the watch is
about the size of a silver three-cent
piece, and with its surroundings OF
gold, looks much like small compass.
When the watch and studs are on a
shirt front they are about two inches
apart, and by turning the upper one
Gin the same manner that stem
winding watch is wound) the time
piece is wound. In setting the hands
the lower stud is revolyed. The
most remarkable thing about the
time. piece is that it is not like ordin-
airy watches, but has pendulum re-
sembling tn at of a clock. This pen
dulum will move correctly in what
ever position the watch is placed
even when it is reversed and run at
the top instead ofthe bottom. MIR.
Rohrer has repeatedly refused offers
of a hundrdd dollars for the curiosity.
