Three men sat behind the great stove

man who sat in the middle, 81 have
good reason to remember Bavaria as
long as / live." Some curiosity was
then expressed, and the man told ter
rible story Of suffering and death at
Munich. He said he was In that city 10

was taken iii OF some kind OF indlgent
fever. After the fourth day, he became
delirtous and remembered nothing dis
tinctly until he woke up and found him
self dead. Then he went on to describe
the manner Of dealing with dead bodies.
There IL a large vault In the suburbs Of
the CITY called the dead-house. There
thoae who die are hustled off almost as
soon as the breath has left the body;
They remain there twenty days. ana
then they are buried IL they do not re-,
turn to life. To each body is attached
two wires connecting with bells, which

never vacant. Besides watchmen, there
are constantly friends Of the. dead
watching the bells intently, but few OF
them ever ring !,
After having given these details, the
man said that he went into trance or
an unconscious condition, ana being %
Mi appearances dead, and being a
stranrer, his body was hurried off to
the dead house. He had no conscious
ness OF going there, but when they
straiUhtened him out on the cold slab
he knew what they were doing, but was
powerless to move or speak. When ne
heard the great door creak and clang
on its hinges he gave up all hope OF ever

thourht he had arrived at Heaven or
the dark regions, he didn t know which,
and that the men with lanterns were

The Judgment OF the Suprem.
Court uPOn the Cases Involving
lhe Enforcement Act.
| WASHINGTON, March 27-The judg
ment of the q. s. Supreme Court
upon the causes involving the enforce.
ment acts has naturally created a
marked sensation, and indicates the
gradual retuHl of the court to it's duty
In enforcing the Constitution. The
following summary of the points iu-
volved derive from the highest legal
authority:
In the Kentucky case it is decided
| that sections 2 ana 4 of the enforct =
ment act of May 81, 1870, under which
the Indictment was found, were un-
constitutional becaus~ general in their
character and not contine TO the
hInderance or prevention of the pa
ties, right to vote on account of race or
color. There was no other statute to
support the indictment. The Chief
Justice and all the court, except
Conkling's nominee, Mr.. Ward Hunt
OF New York, concur in this decision.
In the Grant parish case the court
ruled the indictment which was found
under the sixth section of the act of
3lst May, 1870. was fatally defective
because il charged conspiracy to de-
prive the colored parties concerned of
rights which were not granted or Sc
cured by the constitution or laws of
the United States, namely, the right
to assemble peaceably and bear arms,
which rights the court held were not
granted by the constitution, but ex-
listed independent of it, and which the
States alone had the right to vindi-
cate, aud it was not charged that they
were sssailed on account of the race or
color of the party.
One or two counts did place the |
charge on account of race or color. but |
they were 50 vague and general in |
other respects as to be totally unsus-
No question of the consti-
of the sixth section was |
The defect was in the in
This decision shows that the Court
at last feels free to grapple with the
and revolutionary
legislation which was the fashion up
20 some years ago. and that the Court
$ no longer afraid of Congress.
The business of the Committee on
Elections is progressing rapidly. The
Louisiana case of Spencer vs.. Morie
md the Illinois case of Lemoines vs.
Farwe!l are 60 be decided this week.
The Massachusetts case of Abbott
y. Frost, and the case of Cox VS..
'treight, from Minnesota, have been
.rgned before the sub committee.
The Virginia case and all others be-
ore the committee will be cached be-
ore the end of the session.
The Massachusetts case is deemed
in its bearing on the Vir.-
inia case, the question being the le-
ality of votes in the Davy yard when
asst under the Influence of the Gov
rnment. l.. Q. W. I

Gen. Reynolds, captured and burned
Crazy Horses vii age on the morning
OF the 18th It was on Powder River,
twenty miles below the mouth of Clear
Fork, and had about one hundred
lodges. The village was charged by
Capt. Egan's company with pistols,
Capt. Noyes' (C) company stampediDg
and running off the herd of ponies,
numbering five or six hundred
rhe other troops quickly follow
ed Captain Egan's attack, which
had driven the Indians from their
village. M ills and Moore's squadrons
went in, dismounted. and the Indians
retreated to the bluffs and ravines
back of their camp, and from secure
shelter barassed the troops while the
work of destroying the village went
on. It was burned, with large quanti-
ties of ammunition. robes, meat, and
other things valuable to the indians
Our loss was four enlisted men killed
and seven wounded. No casualties
occurred among the officers. The loss
among the Indians is not known. At
2 P. NJ, when the work of destruction
was complete, the troops marched for
the mouth of Clear Fork, where they
expected to meet Gen. Crook, with
supplies. They arrived the next day
at noon. The command engaged in
this affair marched seveLtv-tive. miles
from a. N. on the l65h to dark on
the 18th, with but three hours rest in
the afternoon of the 10Th. Both men
and horses were very much exhausted
from the tax on their endurance.
