His Latest Lie and Effort TO Stir
Up War.
The President Determined TO he.
g move the Troops this Week.
Goodbye Packard e. Go.
Especial tom. o. Democrat. |

WASHINGTON, March 1e.-Kellogg is
at his old tricks again. He hos started
the story, which the Now York papers
have been silly enough to print, that
Hayes and his Cabinet had reconsidered
the determination to withdraw the
troops this week, and that both the
cases Of South Carolina and Louisiana
would be taken up de nouo in the Cabi-
net meeting tomorrow. This is
Simply "a Falsehooa,
and is designed to provoke our people to
violence, which is now the sole object Of
the manipulations Of these desperate
seoundrels and thieves.
Our people should pay no attention to
the lies of Kellogg or the bogus dis
has not changed.
Charles Foster left for his home In
Ohio this morning, and told mo before
he went that the President and his
Cabinet had reached conclusion from
which no devices Of carpet. .baggers
could divert them. He said that the
President was fully informed and thor
oughly determined. and that the delay
in his action was due to considerations
Of expediency which did not touch the
vital question at all. Foster is as EARN
estly devoted to the true interests Of
your people as Coy. Nichols himself Is,
and he would not have left Washington
had he not been perfectly satisfied that
the President required no more infor-
nation or advice In relation TO Louis
lana and South Carolina. BUELL..

Tine FreslaentS views ON the Situation.
WASHINGTON, March 10 The situa-
tion with regard to South Carolina and
Louisiana Is restated.
The President stated to the last dele.
cation OF Southern leaders, urging him
to Immediate action, that it required six
teen years to confirm the failure of the
old policy, and that he should have at
least sixteen days to inaugurate the new
policy.
TO an eager parting question: "Is it
Hampton aud Nichols ?" echo an
swered: Hampton and Nicho oils"
1t is quite likely that the Attorney
General, tomorrow, will report that
Hampton is Governor of South Carolina
sie .facto and de jttre. He may re-
port that Packard ought to be Gov
ernor OF Louisiana, but the administra-
tion is intrusted with no power which it
ought TO use to enforce his right.
The President is reported as thinking
that he himself is in position to pro-
tec6 the $4,000 voters who supported
Packard, and that placing this burden
son the shoulders Of the President would
be no surrender Of duty or manhood on
the part OF Packard. 1t seems to run
In the Presidents mind that Packard
lost his opportunity for martyrdom
when Mr. Tilden lost the Presidency.
The President hopes to make Packard

Two brothers sheet Each other,
fBedford Star.

On last Friday evening, two brothers
named Arthur, living few miles from
Gish's Mill, Va, shot each other. Gal
Arthur, the elder, loaned cutting box
to neighbor, with the order that he
should let no one have 1t. Charles Ar
thur, the younger brother, carried away
the cutting box to the house OF widow
named Witt, with whom he was living.
On the evening Of the affray Cal went
to the house Of Mrs. Witt, and procur-
ing the cutting box started home. His
brother shot him with q rifle, the ball
entering his left shoulder, penetrating
the bone and lodging near the heart.
The younger brother then fled to the
woods, but the elder brother pursued
and shot him with q shot gun, left him
on the ground and went home. The
elder brother will probably recover. The
Younger is in q dangerous condition.

RAMIE.-some two or three years EInce the
question OF preparing the fibre Of the ramie
plant for manufacture attracted the attention OF
Che people OF Louisiana, and, as it Was believed
to be q very valuable crop, number Of land
owners prepared to raise If, and did demonstrate
the fact that the soil Of Louisiana would produce
it abundantly, but they failed to procure means
of separating The fibre from the inc4osed woody
substance. This difficulty, we are assured can
now be overcome by tho use Of the improved and
patented hemp and fax brake, with revolving
haekle attached, ltely invented by Major ], III.
Tablsr. This machine reduces the cost OF GET
ting out the hemp fibre from 81 so per 100
pounds to Is cents, and will doubtless get the
ramie fibre out very proftably. ANY one ytshine.

to injure either the fruit or gardens.

the weather has been favorable for

the area planted Is greater than was ex-

ascertained, is good. The river is very
low for the season. and we trust will moi
rise over it's banks this year.
Capt. Charles A. Brusle, our Nichols
tax collector, goes to the city to-day to
have his bond accepted by the Auditor,
and will be ready for work In q few days.
The Captain gives bond Us our code
requires. His securities are all owners
Of real estate, and worth oil they sign
to end this mischievous nondescript
yclept status quo. Our people must be
up and doing, and they will be.
We do not understand why 1t is our
Representatives have not lead off In
this. The status quo has only done mis-
chief in the opinion Of many 1t GER
tainly Is doing mischief now, yet our
legislators let 1t run. It is true they
may have reasons for SO doing, but If
they have they should make them
known to their constituents that may
be In position to temporize with the
evils upon them more safely than we
can as 1t is. z
We have no Senator yet, and no pros
pect. We agree with you, Mr.. Editor,
in your position that Senator should
have been elected. We have good and
true men enough to choose from, to suit
Mr.. Hayes even, IL need be, and at the
same time have true representative

tuesday also that he and some OF the
Oabinet hesitated as to the time
ana manner OF restoring Louisiana to
local self.goyernment out of an appre-
nenslon that the removal Of the troops
might give rise to violent proceedings
or DISORDERS, which the President saw
would give rise to INSTRUMENTATION at
distance, and might be used by dema-
goguesln the North to raise o prejudice
against the new Southern policy. These
apprehenslons were frankly c0mmtni-
Gated to prominent Louisianians here,
who not only gave assurance themselves
that no trouble need be anticipated, but
took immediate steps to procure state
ment or guarantee from Coy. Nichols.
Inc result was the following dispatch
from Coy. Nichols to Randall l., Glib
son, Member OF Congress from New Or

what Makes n sea-sheIi sing.

When the sea-shell is held up to the
ear there is a peculiar vibratory noise
which children assure each other is the
roar Of the sea, however distant they
may be from it. Philosophically inves-
tigated the peculiar sound thus recog-
nized is phenomenon that has puzzled
scholars for long time. The expert
ment is easily made by pressing spiral
shell over the cerebra Of either ear. II
a large she'll, the sound is very much
like that of a far-off cataract. Now,
what causes it? Every muscle in the
body is always in a state OF tension.
Some are more on the stretch than
others, and particularly those of the
finger. 1t is conceded that the vibration
Of the tibres of those in the fingers being
communicative to the shell, it propa-
gates and intensifles them as the hollow
body Of the violin does the vibration OF
its strings, and thus the acoustic nerve
receives the sonorous expressions.
Muscles of the leg below the knee are
said to vibrate ia the same way, and, il
conducted to the ear, produce the same
result. II Boston Watchman.

IMPORTANT PATENT DECISION.
The Case that was Argued by Senator
Gsnkliug Before Commissioner Buell..
TAew York Sun.I

WASHINGTON, March 14.-An inport~
ant patent case was decided to-day, In
which Sergeant S5 Greenleaf, Of West
ern New York, and Grays, patentee,
were contestants, the patent issued be-
ing. one for time locks. The patent was
assigned by Grays to the Hall Central
Lock Company, and both that company
and Sargent IL Greenleaf have been
using 1t. It covers the time indicator
combination upon safe locks. Doolit-
ties decision awards the priority of in
yention with reference to the lever con-
trolling the time combination, the vital
specifi ication Ia the patent of Sargeant &
Greenleaf affirming thedecision OF the
examiner-in-chief. The patent is val
ued at about two million dollars, and
will be carried on an appeal to the su-
preme Court. Tt has already become
distinguished In consequence OF Senator
Conkling's appearance before his ap~
pointee, Commissioner Duell, as coun-
sci for. one OF the parties, an action
which led to serious criticism upon Sem
ator Conkling's course.
