The Niger in the Fence.

Washington, March 27.-There is no
longer doubt that the great noise over
they will be unable to organize the next
House. The northern Democrats and
the southern element of the South alone
seem concerned. 1t is a curious fact
that but few opponents of filibustering,
who, if a pledge had been broken,
would have had the best right to com-
plain, have had anything to do with
the late charges of bad faith, and don't
charge that Hayes has changed his
southern policy.

A Cafisss Osia Rsunl II he Heart Of n
Oak.


While chopping on a white oak tree,
one day last week, in the pasture of MI.
Joseph Guggenmoos, in the edge of
town, Mr.. August AntmiIler found a
silver 25 cent piece embedded eight in
ches in the wood. The piece of money
is either French or Spanish, and was
made in the year 1774. It was about
three feet and a half above the base of
the tree, and had been put there by a
hole being bored into the tree and after
wards plugged up. The money was
wrapped in paper, on which there had
been writing, but as it crumbled to
pieces Immediately after being removed
from the wood, only two OF three letters
could be distinguished. The coin had
evidently seen much service before it
was ever placed in the tree, as it was
smooth from use, though it had eviden-
ly been buried where it was found for
many years. Why it was there and
who put it there is a mystery that will
perhaps never be known.

The Chico Throats.

Chico, March 27.-The parties ar
rested in connection with the recent
outrages here were sent to Crowville,
the county seat, for confinement. Five
of them, Eugene Roberts, F. E. Con-
way, Thomas Steinbrook and John and
Charles Slaughter, were to-day held to
answer for murder and arson; John
Mahoney, Pleasant Slaughter, Henry
z. Wright, Adam Holderbaum, II. T.
Jones and James Fay were held for
arson, All waived examination, hav-
ing made sworn statements of guilt,
except Mahoney, who is held on evil
dence tonight, and will be brought
before the grand jury Wednesday.
More revelations are expected before
the grand jury. The scheme of assas-
ination is reported to have been con-
cocted whereby some six or seven lead
ing citizens were marked for death.
The citizens have determined to 60 to
the bottom of the matter, as it is
strongly suspected there are some in
fluential parties who are implicated in
and accessory to the recent depreda-
tions.

Butchering Bashi-B

Butchering Bashi-Bazouks.
Ragusa, March 27.-Some peasants
who, to escape massacre, took refuge in
Austrian territory, have returned to
their homes. Five hundred Bashi-B a-
zouks fell upon the village Of Octhievo,
where the returned refugees were re-
building their dwellings, and burned
their partly restored houses and muir
dered ten of the refugees, with name
less horrors. The others fled across the
frontier at Glarnosk.
There was also another butchery. A
Greek of the orthodox church had cele-
brated his marriage with q girl of
the same faith. The bridal process
sion was stopped by Turks, who cut
down and beheaded four of the guests,
and exposed their heads on poles. The
bride died from the outrages inflicted.

What the Governor of South Carolina
Said,

Washington, March 27.-Chamber-
lain says he came to Washington
determined to maintain by every power
possible the position which he now
legally holds. He will hold that posi-
ton not only for his own sake but for
the sake Of the men who have risked
their lives and everything they hold
most sacred to place him in it. While
he came to Washington in this spirit,
however, he has no desire to place any
undue obstacles in the way of the re-
Cancellation policy adopted by the
President and prominent members of
his cabinet. His only desire is now
as it always has been--to secure a
good government for the state; and,
while he will continue to assert his
rights to the last, he will also continue
before everything else to consider how
such good government may be secured.
