The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1877-11-01

A SYNDICATE of eminent iinancieTs in
Europe have proposed to loan the State
of Louisiana Sl2, 950, 200, for which the
State must call in and pay of her pres
ent debt at par with interest to date of
retirement. The State must then issue
the same amount of bonds to the syn
dictate, bearing 5 per cent. interest;
principal and interest made payable in
IS years. Under this arrangement the
State would be required TO pay only
about $3.50, 900 per annum on account
of principal and interest, instead Of
$500, 900 now required to pay interest
on State bonds. 1t is believed, how
ever, that this proposition can not under
the Constitution and present State laws
be accepted. a.. ,-,-r.

THE Mexican question, it is stated,
has lately occupied the attention of the
Cabinet, Governor Hubbard having
made a formal appeal for Federal pro-
lection against border raids. The Gov
ernor in his communication gives in de-
tail the successive raids and the last
failure of the Mexican authorities to sur
render four criminals under the Extra
dition treaty. The facts here given, it
is stated, puts the whole subject of
border difficulties on a new basis, and
the Administration is inclined to regard
it as constituting a new and very serious
cause for action.

people were rendered homeless. The
aggregate loss is about 100000, on

homeless were sufferers by the great st.

THE following is the text of the bill
introduced by Senator Ingalls,, author
izing the coinage of the standard silver
dollar and restoring its legal-tender
character:
Be IL enacted, ETC., That there shall be
from time to time coined at the minis OF the
United States silver dollars Of the weight Of
4l2 l-2 grains standard silver TO the dollar,
~ provided for in the ACT OF January IS,
1887, and that said dollar shall be legal

A LONDON telegram of the 22d says
An explosion has occurred in the col
liery at High Blantyre, near Glasgow.
Two hundred and thirty-three men were
in the mine, only one Of whom succeed
ed in effecting an escape. Every effort
was being made to effect an opening and
rescue the survivors. # any, but it was
thought all must inevitably perish.
ADvICEs from the Sitting-Bull Com
mission, received on the 22d, are to the
effect that an interview with Sitting-Bull
was had at Fort Walsh on the 18th,
which was terminated by the Sioux
Chiefs disdainfully rejecting all
overtures of clemency made him
by the Government. A Chicago
Times correspondent, who accompanied
the expedition, describes Sitting-Bull as
a swarthy, black-headed, beardless,
pure-blooded savage, with an air of
judicial gravity and intelligence. He
continually fears treachery on the part
of the Americans and distrusts his own
tribe when they are near. He refused
to shake hands with the Commissioners
and said he wanted them to sit
out in full view and not behind
the tables, They complied, and Gen.
Terry addressed them, stating the
object of the visit, namely, that the
President wished hostiiities to cease
forever for the sake of all parties. If
the Indians would return and refrain
from hostile acts against the United
States Government free pardon would
be given for all past acts; no attempt
would be made to punish them and the
past would be forgotten This the
President promised. He went on to
say that all other hostile Indians had
now surrendered to the United States
authorities, and had received no pun
ishment whatever, but had been
received as friends. They had received,
or would receive, the proceeds of the
sale of their horses and arms; had been
presented with cows, and otherwise re-
ceived honorable and just treatment.
The same terms were offered Sitting
Bulls people. The savage warrior
smiled broadly at the mention of sur
render. The offer of peace was re-
jected, and the council broke up and the
Commissioners turned their faces home

THE recommendation of Mr.. Simon
Cameron as Minister to England by the
Pennsylvania Republican delegation is
said TO be the cause of no little embar-
rassment to the Administration. Presi-
dent Hayes, it is stated, having deter
mined to appoint Pennsylvania to
the English mission, notified the Repub-
lican delegation of that State of his pur-
pose, at the same time requesting them
to unite in recommending some one for
the place. They had a meeting and with
singular unanimity agreed upon
Simon Cameron as the man TO receive
the appointment. 1t was an open Sc
cret that both President Hayes and Sec
rotary EYarts favored the appointment
of Mr.. Wayne McVeigh. who it wa:
thought would be acceptable to all par
ties, while it was equally well known
that Ex-senator Cameron would moi
prove acceptable to the heads of the
Administration. Political circles seem
to be about equally divided in opinion
as to whether or no Mr.. Cameron!

IMMIGRATION TO LoUIsIANA.-Lou-
isiana has not acted wisely in matters
affecting the prosperity of the State.
in consequence she has been forced
to see a tide of emigration sweeping
around her for years, and building up
far less attractive States. A step in
the right direction has been taken in
the appointment of Commissioners of
immigration. This looks judicious.
Louisiana hus the climate of Italy and
the fertility of Brazil, and is only one

in Louisiana the Federal Government

of the hardy fruits and plants of the
