The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1877-04-12

Now that New Hampshire has vot>

Office, says the New York Sun, the
inquiry is naturally suggested, wheth-
er republican government exists in
that State, according to the spirit of
the Constitution of the United States.
This prescription of members of a GER
tain church FROM the rights of citizen
ship is not only fragrant violation of
the fundamental idea of free institu-
tions, but it is in open defiance Of the
Fourteenth Amendment, which de-
clares, 4" No State shall make or en-
force any law which shall abridge the
privileges or immunities of citizens of
the United States"
Rhode Island denies suffrage to cit
liens OF foreign birth, and thus carries
its bigotry in one direction quite as
far as New Hampshire does in the
other. Both these States have been
conspicuous by their extreme partisan
ship in Congress in supporting the
most violent measures against the
South, in defending the oarpet-hag>
gers, of whom they furnished liber-
al share, and in protesting exceptions
al sympathy for all the rights of the
black man. If they would look a lit
tie to the rights of the white man at
home, with whom they come in daily
contact in all the relations Of life, their
sincerity would be less questioned.

to say about the mode of my leaving

directly or indirectly and that, as
now know, l had not for a long time

been great strain upon my brain and

An Indian Generals Report.

One Of the Indian chiefs has submit
ted to the senior chief regular report
Of recent expedition against the Nez
Perces. The chiefs name is White
Horse. He made his report to Sharp
Nose. These fellows started out with
two hundred and fifty Sioux scouts to
accompany Maj. Hart's expedition to the
Sinking Water. Sharp-Nose got sick
and had to return to the agency. White
Horse took command, and hence his
report of the campaign. 1t is made in
the pictorial style. The route is
marked by myriad Of pony tracks. A
picture Of a beaver represents Beaver
creek; pair of big horns represent the
Big Horn river; while diminutive
pair represent the Little Horn; and SC
on over the whole Of the route travelled.
Two bands Of Indians are represented
in an attitude Of belligerency. Fur.
ther along they are described in the act
Of shaking hands and exchanging
friendly greetings. This means that
the Sioux caught sight of band Of
redskins, and, supposing them to be
Nez Perces, put themselves in shape
for a fight, but discovered that the
strangers were party Of Crows, and 9
social interchange ensued. This is tn,
first official report ever made by al
Indian.

AT REST.
Death of Senator o. P. Morton,
Last Hours of the Illustrious Statesman,

indianapolis, Nov. 1.-SenatOr Nor
ton died at $50 p. m. 1t is unnecessa-
ry to recount his sufferings and the
measures employed to alleviate them.
About noon Mrs. Morton and her sons,
by her request, were left alone with the
Senator for about an hour. Before
O'Clock it became evident that he had
entered upon his last hour on earth.
He had rested the greater portion of
the day in half lying and half sitting
position. AS he grew weaker the sup
porting pillows were withdrawn so that
he lay prone on the bed. Silence pre-
vailed in the room and remained un-
broken except by an occasional ques-
tion to the dying man. Once, when
the Senator exclaimed, 81 am dying"
his sister, Mrs. Holloway, inquired,
"You are not afraid to die, Oliver :? y"
He indicated ''no" by shaking his head.
Soon after a similar exclamation and
answer passed between him and DIR.
Thompson.
At 5:10 he exclaimed, Il am dying;
am worn OUT" and these were his
last words. From this on it was diff
cult to discover that life remained.
On the doctors announcement, "He is
going" the gaze of wife and sons be-
came fixed on the face of the husband
and father, with now and then pite-
GUS look of inquiry toward the doctor,
until his farther announcement, at is
over" The widow clasped her sons to
her exclaiming quietly, but in tones
never to be forgotten, "ATy darling
boys The friends withdrew leaving
them for time, when they were led
tenderly from the room.

Kelley said the fact remained. The

Kelley said the fact remained. The
navy was suffering.
The resolution was then rejected
without division.
The Speaker overruled Springer, who
tried to bring before the House again
the bill repeating resumption.
On motion of Kelley the House went
into committee of the whole on the
state of the Union, to allow the gentle
man an opportunity to speak on the
pending bill.
Hunter then argued that National
bank notes were safer and cheaper
money than greenbacks.
Kelly sarcastically felicitated himself
on getting the House into committee Of
the whole, where bankers feelings and
wrongs had been so feelingly stated. He
was sure bank officers and stockhold-
ers were ignorant of their suffering,
and would surrender their circulation
when they read Hunters speech. He
knew of no Pennsylvania bank that
had declared dividend of over one
hundred per cent, but it was common
to declare 10 per cent. dividends semi
annually and put large amount TO the
reserve fund.
The committee rose.
Springer offered resolution for the
linal adjournment of this extra session
of Congress on November 2Sth. Re
ferred.
Adjourned.

DEARER THAN WHISKY.
Curious Suit About a Well in Which q
Witch Hazel Well Finder Figures.

Aaron Hammond, the "witch-hazel"
well-digger, whose recent suit against
the city of Omaha terminated within q
year in decision by the supreme court,
awarding $1,000 to defendant, has
brought another suit-this time in the
United States court against Mr.. Mi
chael Donovan. The contract between
Hammond and Donovan was nearly
similar to that in which The city was
interested, and is genuine curiosity.
Hammond was to dig well on Dono-
| vans lot south of Shinn's addition,
| within forty feet of well which had
already been sunk, and which had
proved n failure. 1t was stipulated
that unless the well should produce fif-
teen hundred gallons per twenty-four
hours Hammond should receive moth
ing for his labor. If it produced fif-
teen hundred gallons per twenty-four
hours Donovan was to pay at the rate
of So. 80 for each one hundred gallons
or S52. For each one hundred gallons
produced in each and every twenty
four hours over the amount, Donovan
was to pay S1.75. 1t is alleged that as
Hammond had nearly reached the i'm
portant veins from which the water
was to be derived, lie was violently
driven away by Donovan, threats being
made against his life.
Hammond alleges that when Dono-
van took possession of the well it was
producing at the rate of from four to
eight thousand gallons per twenty-four
hours, and says he would soon have
reached veins of water which would
have produced three hundred thousand
gallons in twenty-four hours. This be-
ing the case, Donovan would have had
the little bill of 5,223.75 to pay, which
would have made his water more eX-
pensive than whisky. Perhaps it isn't
strange that he became frightened as
the water began to pour in and saw it
in imagination washing away his inter-
ests in his lot.
If Hammond is as successful in To-
eating wells as he is said to be, and can
make contracts like the above, his dig
giug must he more profitable than gold
mining in the Black Hills. Omaha
