We OBSERVE that Senator Shultz
as Chairman of the Committee on
Mics and Mining has reported
favorsbly on Stewards bill for the
protection of stockholders in miues.
with an alteration in the original
wording SO that the privilege Of in
specting mines shall be given to
those holding the required percent
age Of stock in their own names on
the books Of the company. This
NAV be a good amendment. The
committee and the Legislature are
capable of deciding whether it is or
not. Il is evident that S6ultZ is
conscientious in the matter, and it
is to be inferred from bis position
toward it that be would be willing to
bsve the mines under his charge ex-
amined to-day BY the proposed
numbsr of bona fde stockholders.
It is gratifying to note .his as indi-
eating better state of affairs in
mine management than some had
believed to exist. This will
should the bill become law, which
we have no doubt of-add q new
source of life to mining industries.
Persons will invest in mining stocks
freely, knowing that any day. by
pntttng a card ia a newspaper or by
any other means by which small
stockholders can be drawn together.
they can have al examination of the
mine and know exactly what it,
conditions are. 1t will, If im'
proved properly, put quietus on
the practice of few insiders max
ing fortunes out of the outsiders
and thus damaging the chef in
dustry Of the State.

Our annual meeting closed the
last of September. We disclaim
the necessity, time and patience to
tell the need of such a revival and
to give it justice. The power OF

And forms the breastplate that defends his
heart.

on Fort Hill upon that day, and Al

the sun stopped to witness the
deed and the government wheels
stood still and everything was in
suspense. We waited until the boys
all got behind trees and then
squaled to George to pull, and he
pulled, and out jumped the spar
row, and away he flew, and if he
hasn't stopped he is somewhere in
South America now. We perhaps
would have killed the poor thing,
but we happened to have a chill
Just as the trap sprung; and then
he didn't intimate to us which way
he was going to fly, and we shot on

scorned to pinch his head when we
put him in the trap, like the other
boys did theirs.

A Card.

To the Editor Pulaski Citizen In
your last issue there appeared a com
munication purporting to have been
signed by W. b. ID. jackson, NJ. D.,
Alex Peden, II. II. f. Gordon and 9TH
ers to the effect that my character had
been assailed by one NJ. c. Gunter, and
that the charges were false, &c. Some
of the gentlemen who signed the origi-
nal paper take exceptions to the said
communication as it appeared in your
paper. herewith publish the original
paper which Is in the words and figures
following, to-wit:
"We the undersigned who witnessed
the trial of j. 3. Marshall on the 2Sth
OF September, 1877, before Esquires
Moore and Alternately, the said Marshall
being charged by Martha Gunter with
assault upon her person with intent to
commit rape, do hereby express our
opinion after hearing the evidence that
the said j. B. Marshall is wholly ex-
honorated from said charge"
Septem Der 18th, 1877.
IL will be seen that the original card
did not refer to "blackmailing," or to
my standing in the community.

A resolution was introduced in
the Board last Friday by Recorder
Stanley for the election of City
Weigher. 1t attaches penalty TO
the weighing of cotton, grain, cattle
and hay by any one except the
Weigher, making it compulsory
upon the seller to have such things
weighed by such Weigher alone,
who is under oath and bond. Ac-
ton was deferred. This has its
advantage in that things will be
honestly weighed; or if they are
not, recourse can be had upon the
Weigher's bond. But it has disad
vantages that outweigh this. You
should not compel man to pay a
Weigher for weighing his sack of
corn when he is willing to trust the
man to whom he sells it to weigh
it. The law should be shaped
thus: Let every man WHO wishes to
weigh for profit apply to the Re-
corder for license, give his bond
and take the oath; and not make it
compulsory upon a seller to have
his stuff weighed. Then we would
have more scales than one, and a
countryman, If he is afraid to trust
the man to whom he sells, can take
advantage of the bonded scales; but
if he is willing to trust his man, he
can save his quarter. Countrymen
need some such law, but the Board
will certainly make the thing worse
upon them if it passes the law in
its present shape.

Boiler Explosion.


The boiler of the Pulaski Flour
ing Mills exploded last Monday
morning about s O'Clock, tearing a
rent in its side about four feet long
and demolishing the engine house.
The fires had just been started and
had on only about thirty pounds of
steam. It is thought that the water
was allowed to get too low, as it
could have exploded from no other
cause, though Mr.. Bob. Norman, the
engineer, says the water was up to
the third gauge. The pumps may
have been defective. When it COM
menced to explode it gave out a
kissing warning which allowed the
engineer and Messrs. Milt VOORHEES,
and Mr.. Riggin who were standing
at the furnace door, time to escape.
The engine was not broken, except
the connecting pipe, but the east
walls OF the engine house were
blown down and the roof caved in
on the debris. 1t was very fortunate
that no one was hurt and that no
further damage was done. The
loss will be about $500 and twelve
or fifteen days delay. The explo-
sion was dull. heavy thud, which
shook buildings ali around, but
was hardly noticed by persons on
the square, sounding no louder than
an ordinary blast. 1t created quite
a stir, as it was thought hardly pos
sible for it to take place without
killing several persons who were
known to be there. 1t is warning
for the future.
