Moline. Tennessee.
For the Fayetteville Observer.
MOLINO, Apr. Is. '76

!
Mr.. N. 0. Wallace, Edsto,
Observer = Thinking that you
would like to hear again from
these parts, we will give you an.
10th er brief letter. Notwithstan-
ding you was favored with a few
items the other week from a Citi-
zen at Moline Gas he gave bis
name), he is not intruding with
his remarks, but we hope to hear
from him again through the col
umns of your valuable paper.
The farmers down here are
working very hard planting an
other crop, notwithstanding the
late disagreeable weather has put
them back some.
The general health of this vi.
cinity is very good at this time,
as far as we can learn excepting a
few chills. The growing wheat
continues to look well. The
peach crop, we believe, was en-
tirely killed by the late cold spell,
but there will be plenty of apples.
Some farmers have great appre-
tensions that the grasshoppers
will be more numerous this wear
than they were last, as some
of the plaques 1--WE have been
told) have made their appearance.
Coon, rabbit and bird hunting
was a general amusement with
some of our neighbor boys during
the big snow. We started out to
follow party to have some sport
in a coon hunt, but had not got
far over the hills that looked as if
they were wrapped in the whitest
robe, till the chilling wind that
prevailed from the north soon
caused me to abandon the idea of
coon hunting and make hasty
steps back to the cheerful fire
that glowed with heat upon the
hearth-stone. A very good school
is taught near Moline by Mr..
Brock, competent young teacher
from Blanche. The new residen-
ces of Guy and Hays add consid. !
erably to the appearances of the
village. Our clever postmaster,
Mr.. Jas. FL. Dale, at the village,
keeps full stock of drugs, medi |
cines and furniture. The old ne
gro man that lived near here that
has been married SO many times,
is now living with his tenth wife.
He says he has only been married
six times, but has lived with ten
wives. How is this ? Well, rea-
der, you may decide.

THE developments of the Emma mine
sosrdsl, 10y the house committee have
Sd far resulted in the proof that five
hundred shares Of the stock OF the mine
were given to General Schenck for the
use Of his name and credit to the COM
pany; that five hundred more shares
were given him when he retired-(sub-
sequently Schenck endesvored to pay
for some Of his stock; that twenty
thousand dollars - nth Of bonds were
offered to Senator Morton, Of Indiana,
who was in Utah at the time of the of
fer, and which he agreed to take for his
influence to secure the removal Of United
States Judge M'Kesn and other Federal
officials, who, it is alleged, were in
terested in other mines and were
constantly jsopardiziDg the inter-
ests OF the Emma mine; that
United States Senator Stewart, Of
Nevada, who was Lyons counsel, after
ward wrote to Morton urging the re-
moval OF these officials, and that Morton
did not reply. The testimony, in a
word, while it only smutches Morton,
buries Schenck in the Emma mine
scandal and swindle so deep that it
seems to US impossible for him to extri-
cate himself. "Our minister to the court

hsps, were he a "soft-money Democrat"
the Enquirer would have found way
t. smooth over, apologize for, or excuse
the "wsr issues" which Mr.. Hill cam
not, it seems, forget. We regret this
penchant of Mr.. Hill for rehearsing ante
6eyLuH1 trials and war endurances. For
his speech in answer to Blaine there was
some excuse-sufficien to secure him sp-

its representatives more in regard to the
recuperation of the energies OF the coun-
try and the restoration of its trade and
industries. We hope for the sake, not
merely Of the interests of the Democratic
party, but OF the whole Union, that Mr..
Hill will in future bear this in mind, and
endeavor to live up to it, despite the
shakin of the red rag of Rsdicslism.
