scene, and Liberated d the boy, and IN bis

The stranger met his advances with .

who was fifty years President Of Farmers

said position last Monday, is now said to be
defaulter to the bank to the extent Of
$65,000.
The bank is believed to be partially safe,

directors. A. NJ. Wells, the Mayor Of An

resigned his clerkship fortnight ago. He
also is largely indebted to the bank by notes

COUNTING THE VOTE.
A great deal Of time was occupied this
morning in deciding the preliminary question
AZ TO whether the House should now proceed
to the consideration of the resolutions re-
ported last Friday from the Committee on
the Privileges and Duties Of the House In
Counting the Electoral Votes, or to that Of
the compromise plan as published in this
mornings papers. The Republicans favored
the latter, and the Democrats the former.
The House is now voting on the question
by yeas and nays, and the precedence will,
of course, be given to the former. They
consist of five points, -f
First. That the Constitution does not
confer on the President of the Senate power
to examine and ascertain the votes to be
cast as the electoral votes.
second.-That the only power which the
Constitution does confer on the President Of
the Senate in the matter is to receive the
sealed list transmitted to him by tie several
Electoral Colleges, keep the same safely,
and open all the certificates (or those pur-
porting to be such) in the presence Of the
two houses.

pubicans away from their party. and
this Will cripple the administration andi-
date much more than any desertiOn OF

Randall's friends claim that their CORE

them to conclude that, while there will
be much Democratic support on the
floor of the house for all measures that
Hayes deems of importance to aid him in
carrying out his policy, they are not ex-
pecting to go so tar AS to surrender their

A Natural Bridge,
fNInrnhvshnro Indcpendent

MULTIPLY
Few of our readers are perhaps aware
that there is one OF the greatest curiosi-
ties in our county, in the shape of nat
ural bridge, to be found in Southern Illi-
nois, or in fact. in the state. 1t is stu
ated on the line of the Cairo and st.
Louis railroad about one mile west of the
track between the stations OF Pomona
and Ethan. 1t is one of the wonderful
freaks of nature of which there are not
few in this part of the State. The bridge
is composed of pure sand stone
formation, and lies in stratas; and is one
hundred feet in length on top, and
seyenty-six from one abutment to the
other. 1t is about sixty feet high and is
nine feet broad on top. The average
thickness OF the span is about nine feet,
being large enough for wagon and
team to cross. 1t is said that it was
crossed once by wagon and team, but
the story seems almost incredible from
the fact that it is situated in such a wild
and rugged country it would almost be
impossible for team to get near it,
although the matter OF crossing it is an
easy job after you get there.

4 Fine stroke Of Policy.
st. Louis Republican. }

The choice OF Willard, heretofore as
sociate justice of the South Carolina
supreme court, as chief Justice, was a fine
stroke Of policy. He has been Repub-
lican, but in. the new order OF things will
be as trustworthy friend and supporter
OF the Hampton government as il he had
always been Democrat. In all the It'll.
cation which has followed the last cleo
ton he has not once filtered in his devo-
ton to the cause Of the people, so that he
aspired with some propriety to succeed
to the vacant seat of the chief Justice. If
Democrat had been chosen by the Dem
ocratic majority of the legislature, it
would not have been strange il Winard's
disappointment had driven him back in
to the Republican party. In that case,
Wright, the other associate justice, being
colored man and a Republican, that
party would have had a majority OF the
court. AS It's, Willard will be con
frmed in his allegiance to the Demo-
cratic party and, Democratic associate
justice being chosen to I'LL the vacancy
created by his promotion, the Democrats
will have a majority that can be relied
on.

The first battle between the Russians
and the Turks took place Thursday near
Batoum, in Asia Minor. The Russians
were repulsed with a loss of eight hun.

enga cement is also reported to have
taken place at Abraham, a point about
fifty miles southeast of Batoum. In this
encounter the Russians are reported to
have also lost AMI they were
compelled to retreat. In Roumania
great activity is manifested by both
sides, the Roumanian government de-
claring its intention to resist the invasion
Of the Turks. The Russians are reported
to have crossed the Pruth at several
points, undoubtedly with the view OF
forming junction at Galatz. None o.

wished peace and listening to the advice
OF the powers in this respect, but Russia
wants to destroy our independence and
so if Russia attacks us, God who pro-

whites are their enemies, and that II the
opportunity offers will return them to
slavery. The negroes, in their ignorance,
are easily duped, and they believe the
carpet-baggers and scalawags, and for
twelve years have steadily
voted and acted with them.
But now the time has come when the
southern people will have an opportun-
ity to disprove the teachings of the car
pet .baggers. Having gained control Of
the home governments they will di abuse
the minds of the negroes and convince
them that their interests are identical
with the interests of the whites. Carpet
baggery is at an end, and with it ends all
race troubles between whites and blacks
of the south.
