The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1877-03-01

THE majority report of the South
Carolina Investigating Committee was
made TO the House on the 10th. II states
that irregularities existed in the returns
from nearly every precinct, and that IN
doubtedly great frauds were perpetrated
by reason of the failure of the ruling
party to set up the safeguard of regis
tra;ion. The result, by ascertain
ing the votes cast at all pre-
cincts and correcting the mis-
takes made by the managers in
retu rms, shows that the lowest Hayes
Elector had majority of S31 over the
highest Tilden Elector. The sending
of troops to the State is denounced as
illegal and unjustifable. The report
says that the evidence shows a greater
amount of intimidation on the part of
the blacks toward people of their own
race, TO prevent them from voting the
Democratic ticket, than was used by
the whites against colered Republicans.

A Black Man Turning White.

A Black Man Turning White.
Last Saturday afternoon we saw quite
a curiosity on the streets in the shape
of human being, who, fifteen years
ago, was a well developed negro, black
as the ace of spades, but who is fast be-
coming a white man, as far as the color
of the skin goes. The person we speak
of was in Keokuk about three years
ago, and at that time began to show
evidence of changing color, his arms
and part of his body being white in
spots. Since that time the transforma-
ton has been gradually going on, and
his appearance now is more white than
black. His cheeks, chin, ears, hands
and part of his neck are now white.
The black skin peels off in scales, and
in another three years ne will, with the
exception of his wool, which is as kinky
as an Africans, be all white. He was
talking of locating here, his present
residence being Warsaw.-Keokuk( Ia.)

The bark Maria, from Doboy, Africa.
TO Belfast, Ireland, with a crew of IA
men, sprang leak in a gale, and filed
with water so that it was impossible to
save any provisions or fresh water.
The lumber with which the vessel was
laden prevented her from sinking, but
the weight Of her aasss turned the ves-
sci on her beam ends until the masts
broke away, when she righted
and the men regained the deck.
Having no food or water they soon be-
gan to die of starvation, and as soon as
one died the rest subsisted upon the
dead body, and so on until only two
were left. 1t was 80 days from the
time of the disaster until the wreck was
sighted, and during all that time the
crew had not a drop of water or other
food than the bodies of their dead ship
mates. They were finally picked up by
an American schooner, and one of the
two survivors died within four hours.
a LONDON telegram of the 22d saws
that several leading Home Rulers have
refused TO assist at the funeral of John
O'Mahoney, on the ground that their
cooperation would be inconsistent with
the Home Rule programme. Cardinal
Cullen has also written letter, refus-
ing to allow the remains of O'Mahoney
to lie in state in the Cathedral, on the
ground that to do so would seem to be
san approval of his religious and pub
lie conduct and his projects relative to
ireland, a responsibility which am not
at all inclined to assume"

CIEiOn.

New YoRK, November 10.-Lydia \.
Mckinley insured her husbands lie in
the United States Life Insurance Com.
pany for $1,000 April 10, 1866. Her hus.
band made the application for her and
represented himself "a a temperate man.
She paid the premiums up to the time Of
his death in 1875, bat the company re-.
fused payment on the ground that when
the policy was issued the husband was
an Incorporate man. On the trial yes.
terday, before Judge Robinson, much
evidence was given on each side as to the
husbands habits. On the Fart OF the
company, there was evidence that be
habituAlIy drank to excess. On the other
side, while 1t was admitted that he drank
habitually 10 some extent, it was claimed
that he did not drink 20 much as to hurt
himi that he was an active, jovial, bust.
ness man, energetic In his work and never
unfit for it.
Judge Robinson, In his charge, told the
jury that not all use oil spirituous liquors
was intemperance. Il actually benefited
some, and the great majority Of people
used, In some form or other, alcoholic
stimulants. And in considering whether
man was temperate or incorporate,
account must be- taken Of the condition
Of man. What would be temperate in
q strong man might DO very incorporate
in child; and betwee different men there
were broad differences. The jury found
a verdict for the plaintiff fol the full
amount claimed, and interest. Olin,
Reeves 1 Montgomery appeared for
plaintiff; Hegeman & Ingersoll and Edgar
s. Van Wrinkle for defendant.

point.
Grafton senlinel.
Gov. Pierpoint needs no defence. Tho
valuable services he rendered his State
at the breaking out Of the rebellion are
not forgotten nor unappreciated BY the
loyal people Of West Virginia. He was
par excellence war governor" He
secured this part oil Virginia TO the Union,
and placed 10000 soldiers in the field 10
fight her battles. This Is the head and
front Of his offending. II the editor Of
the Regislcr we're an honorable man he
would at least respect brave and cour-
ageousioe.
Que Of the charges made by the Rtgistz
should perhaps be noted. Il says
The Legislature IN 1855 ps,eI a bill milling
sons iDasmnity, apPrropriAtl0a iJr thl coats q
Cd fOrd4nases, for dulnS something 'as GOTGnOr.'
Now this is simply not true, and II the
Rsgiasr man is not ignorant Of the histo-
ny Of his own State, he knows It. We
suppose the Register refers to the euit
brought by Judge Thompson agaiust the
Governor. The facts in that case are
these: Gov. Pierpoint caused Judge
Thompson to be arrested under the pro-
visions Of chap. 6e, Acts Of the Assembly
OF Virginia, Of 1853, Authorizing the
Governor 10 arrest disloyal persons as
hostages" Judge Thorn pson instituted
suit against Governor Pierpoint for fGlse
imprisonment, 10 the State Of Ohio. Gov.
p. replied to the bill under oath las IL
required in that State), charging Judge
Thompson With dlSloyalty and pleading
the statute before referred TO "a his au.
thority for making tho arrest. Judge
Thompson could only reply to this plea
under oath, denying the charge Of disloy.
atty, which he declined 10 do, and his
suit was dismissed. The Governor was
compelled to employ counsel to pre-.
pare his defense, and incur other ex.
penRes, and, TO deiray these, the Legisla.
ture in 1855 appropriated $I29 20. See
Chap. 63, Acts OF 1865.

that the Time will soon come when the

cfeale, however, will not stop here, and
the supply will become unequal to the

from comparatively small district and

fixed. The growth Of the I'rlush coal
trade, which from 1885, has increased ia

to the future in store LOT ia. Nearly one.
hall Of the 100000 tons Of coal now
produced in Great Britain Ia employed

purposes. The United States, rapidly
obtaining supremacy il the manufacture
Of iron, and vastly increasing her opera
lions In many other branches Of manuiAO'
turing industry, might reasonably be ex'
pected to soon consume like amountiu
alImllar way. And when the 100000
tons thus called for is swslled by the
amount employed for gas making, for eE.
port and for domestic use, the future Of
the American coal trade does not present
an entirely gloomy outlook.
