The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1877-06-07


THE Commission appointed to inves-
tigate the affairs of the New York Gus
tom-house have made partial report,
showing a great deal of bad manage
ment and many corrupt practices in the
administration of its affairs, and recon-
mending a number of radical changes
therein. The Secretary of the Treasury
having submitted the report to the Pres
ident, the latter has expressed his views
thereon as follows:
! 1t is my wish that the collection Of rev.
enues should be free from partisan control,
and organized on a strictly business basis,
with the same guarantees for efficiency and
fidelity in the selection of subordinate Off
GERS that would be required by prudent
merchant. Party leaders should have no
more influence in the appointments than
other equally respectable citizens. No
assessments for political purposes
on officers or subOrdinates should
be allowed; no useless officer or employee
should be retained; no officer should be re-
quired or permitted to take part in the man.
agement of political organizations, caucuses,
conventions or election campaigns. Their
right to vote or to express their views on
public questions, either orally or through
the press, is not denied, provided it does
not interfere with the discharge of their
official duties. Respectfully, q

The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1877-06-07

Gov. CULLoM has vetoed the bill
passed by the Illinois Legislature, max
ing silver coin a legal tender in the
State, on the ground that, in his opin-
ion, the measure is neither constitutional
nor wise, and the matter one too delicate
to eXneriment upon.
The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1877-06-07

SENATOR MORTON has written let
ter regarding the political situation, in
which he.says:
While, in my judgment, il was clearly the
right Of the President under the Constitu-
tion TO recognize the Packard Government
and support it by military power, the I'M
dertaking would have been futile and the
failure disastrous. With divided opinion
n his own party and both Houses of Con-
gress against him, he would have failed in
the end.
As to the general political condition
ofLouisiana and South Carolina, Senator
Morton charges distinctly that the Re-
publican Governments have simply
yielded to force. But he fully admits
that Packard and Chamberlain were not
able to sustain themselves, and acquits
President Hayes of all blame for the re-
suit he deplores.

A CORRESPONDENT of the New York
Herald at st. Petersburg has had an in
terview with prominent Russian Dip
lomat, from which he concludes that
Russia, in making war upon. Turkey,
has twofold object: First, by her adj
vance into Asia TO gain the right of way
and passage to China; and sec
ond, by her operations in Europe
to obtain the freedom of the
tributary States, namely:s Bulgaria,
herzegovina, Roumania, Servia and
Bosnia, and she would guarantee these
provinces their independence no matter
against what power. In other words,
she would form defensive and offensive
alliance with these liberated territories.
The correspondent was informed that
long before an army could be
brought in front of the walls
of Constantinople peace would be
made. The terms of peace would per-
haps include the surrender on the part
of Turkey of a portion Of her feet, and
above all the consummation of a treaty
placing the city of Constantinople I'M
der the joint controfof all the foreign
powers. Russia has no intention of adj
vancing into India. Her ambition is to
become Ii aster and possessor of a part
of the Celestial Empire. Towards this
end all her inroads into Asia are direct
ed. %

THE Department of State is informed
by Gen. Meredith, Charge d'Afaires at
Athens, Greece, of very important art
discovery, namely, the finding of the
arms of the celebrated mutilated statue
of the Venus of Milo, on the Island of
Milo, at a distance of less than 80 feet
from the place where the statue itself
was found in 1920 The arms are ex-
quisitely modelled and one hand holds
a kind of disc or shield. The workman
ship and the locality, it is said, compel
even the skeptical to acknowledge the
authenticity of the wonderful relics.

ceive favorable answer in 20 days, they
will make an appeal to the Great Pow

CHANCE FOR HOME INVESTMENT
Our readers have at different times
been informed through the JOURNAL Of
the rich quartz mine near North Fork,
owned by Henry Engel. The quartz
taken from this mine has paid from
thirty to forty dollars per ton worked
with rude arastra. Mr.. Engel is a
poor man and finds that he cannot open
his mine without money, and for this
reason proposes to give home company
an opportunity to prospect the mine
and then buy if they think the prospect
warrants the investment. The PROPOSE
ton he makes, through John Nickel &
Bro, of North Fork, is substantially as
follows : "a Company will be given
the privilege of prospecting the minc, in
any manner they see fit for a stated
length Of time, at the expiration of
which they will have tee right to pu~
chase the mine for $4,000 or throw it
up, allowing whatever work and ma
chinery they may have, to go to the
benefit of Mr.. Engel. In case the Com
pany concludes to purchase, one-halfthe
amount is to be paid when the mine is
decided to the Company and the other
half from the profits of the mine" Mr..
Chris. Nickel is now here and we cer-
tainly hope he will succeed in organiz-
ing Company. The chances for a "big
thing" are good.
