AN OUTRAGE ON COMMON HUMANITY.

AN OUTRAGE ON COMMON HUMANITY.
The spirit of bull doing has fastened 1t.
self upon the House of Representatives
with force and enthusiasm even greater
than 1t has exhibited In the South, where
the system was first created by the ruling
passion OF mob violence. The Democrats
look upon Governor WELLS as their chief
enemy. Their smmissaries failed to pur-
chase his honor and integrity by their gold
and now in spirit Of bitter spleen they
are endeavoring to ruin his physical health
by sacrificing his personal liberty in the
grim Bastile Of the Capitol. They have
thrown him into dungeon with iron bars
at the windows, mouldy walls a his conf
fines, and amid these filthy and degrad-
ing surroundings. they are compelling
him. In violation Of the most sacred rights
of an American freeman, to drag out day
after day awaiting their peculiar pleasure.
The Constitution confers no right upon the
House Of Representatives TO deprive an
American citizen Of his personal liberty,
and yet at the whimsical behest Of mob
violent committee this man is cast into
sunless and loathsome dungeon, IS though
he were common knave and guilty Of a
bloody crime.
But what 10 his offense I 1t is because
he refuses to produce the papers Of a
State, over which he has no
more control and right than has the ruler
of an Oceanic Isle over the Government OF
the American people. 1t is because he re-
fuses to answer questions asked him by a
bull-dozlng committee. which
Is his right to refuse without violating any
law or committing any oGenss punishable

EDHEM PASTA, who succeeds MIDHAT, Is q
fierce Turk of the old school, and is as
bigoted and rattle-brained an apostle of No

He will be a swlitageut of war in the Turkish
councils, and will soon have the Mussulman
basha- -bazourks again tearing at the throats Of
the Christian Bulgarians.

CIRCUMSTANCES are often altering cases
nowadays. During the progress Of the TWEED
trial, Mr.. DAVID DUDLEY FIELD disagreed on
several important points Of law with Mr..
o'CoNoR. Now we find them both OF the
opinion that Congress and the Commission
have Unlimited power of investigation. They
both claim that the powers to investigate a
State includes the power to set aside q State
election, and they are called strict construc-
tinpisfe

CAPTAIN Dirty has not little pity for MAD
Dox. He says he was born rascal, and that he
would not believe him on oath, that he pro-
cured money during the war for the ostensible
purpose of using in the purchase Of food and
provisions for the soldiers, but spent II for
himself. Two more pitiable objects never
breathed than are MADDOX and LITTLErIELD
to-day. They deserted the Republican party,
and Joined the Democracy. Now that party
ruthlessly casts them aside.

THE Democratic leaders are becoming dis

they are as ready to discard that as they are
any other principle.

JUSTICE TO CAPTAIN MILLS.
A SERIOUS CHARGE Dis PROVED.

A SERIOUS CHARGE DIsPRovED.
In October last a serious statement made ia the
correspondence OF writer with the Big Horn and
Yellowstone expedition concerning the conduct of
Captain Mills, OF the Third United States cavalry, At
the Slim Buttes fight the preceding month. The state.
ment If proved, would establish q very grave charge
oil cowaraice against Captain Mills. The charge
contained in the following paragraph
STRANGE vAcrILAroS OFFICER.
Meanwhile the Commander had apprehensons that
they would develop greater strength anu attack him.
We seemed ovcrpowercd by this the ption
OF the light and when the Indians first sent their
bullets into ranks he exclaimed 'Reireat, men
Retreat" They were IN mood 10 retreat, how.
ever and Lieutenant Crawford seconded their Impulse
by drawing his pistol and shouting ~ VIII shoot any
who tries 10 retreat !" This noble insubordina
ton prevented disaster.
1t affords sincere pleasure to be able 10 contradict
this story authority and after close investigation
that cannot be questioned Lieutenant Crawford,
Lieutenant John W. Bubb and Lieutenant Fred.
Schwatka have united in card pronouncing the
charges against Captain Mills utterly without
foundation, and We take pleasure in adding our own
testimony in his behalf.
