Extra Ordinary Charge.

.
-
/ A man by the name of c. McGin-
mis-, of Chicago, has charged Mr..
Edward Harris, Of the City Bank OF
this place, with passing $50 coun-
terfeit bill. An examination was
had at Madison, and Mr.. Harris
was held for trial at court. Accord
ing to McGinais' statement, be got
the bill of Harris about the 7th of
August last, and thBn went travelling
with Bill Clark through the north
ern part Of Iowa county and into
Richland county selling purifiers for
Touring mills, and then he went out
to Vermillion, Dacotah Territory, to
settle up bad, claim or two.
About Sept. 1st he returned to Chi
cago, when, and not before, he found
out be had bad biIl in his possess
sion, and sometime afterwards pre-
sented the bill to Mr.. Harris asking
for new one III its stead.
Mr.. Harris remembers the trans-
action distinctly, and declares that
no $50 bill was paid to McGinnis at
all. The Commissioner and District
Attorney both admitted that they
could not convict on the testimony
ELECTED, but as McGinnis swore so
positive there was little testimony
and desired tire for further investi-
CATION il was granted.
No man stands higher in this COM
munity for honesty and fair dealing
than Edward Harris, and such
charge seems more like an effort to
blacklnail and defame the reputation
of one of our best business men
than to promote justice. A charge
of this kind may be easily made
against any man who handles money;
and the testimony of one bold, bad
man may be a little evidence, aud
thus make any Of US serious trouble.
THERE was no more reason for
Calvert Spensley's employing the
Democrat to defend himself in the
"caucus bill printing" controversy,
than there was for employing the
Democrat to print the bills. Had
he asked it, he would have been
cheerfully given space in these co.,
umns for his article, and SO secure
lthe placing of his version Of the case
before the same persons who had
read our statement. But in this as
in other of his political moves, Mr.. s.
preferred the Democratic channel.
AS this is a matter in which our
readers are probably as much con-
i'cerped as those of the Democrat, it
is proper for us to state that Mr..
Spensley's defence consists of an
assertion that he did giye a positice
order at the TRIBUNE office for the
printing of the bills, and that said
order was not honored. We simply
reiterate that he did not give pos
live order-or at least one that was
understood as such. 1t is not our
purpose to refer to this subject again,
but if Mr.. S. desires to be heard
further these columns are at his SER
vice.

DULUTH HARBOR CONVENTION.
A Very General Response Being Made to
the Call for Delegates.

"A Very General Response Being Made to
the Call for Delegates.
All the cities on the great lakes are re-
spending to the invitation to attend the con-
vention in this city on the 18th inst. The
matter has been taken up by the newspapers
of each locality, and the importance of the
object Of the convention enlarged upon. The
coal regions of Pennsylvania are also alive to
thelmportance of the projected improvements.
Pittsfeld, Pa, Erie, and other ports for coal,
will be represented IN the convention. All
these cities are interested in canal improve
ment, and the question will doubtless be a
matter of moment in the. deliberations and
recommendations of the delegates.
At meeting of the Buffalo chamber of
commerce the following action was taken in
reference to the invitation extended to that
city to send representatives:
Mr.. Cyrus Clarke spoke briefly in favor of
the convention referred to. He believed the
action proposed was of especial Importance to
the commerce Of this State and the water
route.
Mr.. N. G. Simons submitted the following,
which was adopted:
RESOLVED, That the communication from the
st. Paul chamber of commerce be received and
filed, and that ten delegates be appointed by
the meeting, and that MIR. Cyrus Clarke be
chairman thereof and he shall have power of
substitution.
Mr.. Clarke offered the following preamble
and resolution in connection with the previous
resolution, which were also adopted:
WHEREAS The rapid growth Of the States
north and west of Lake Superior and the great
railroad facilities leading from Duluth
throughout those States is now and will very
soon require an immense tonnage on the lakes
to bring forward the surplus products. of that
country, and from the fact that the =depth of
water through the Straits and canal between
Lake Huron and Lake Superior is not of suf-
fcient depth for our large class steamers and
sail-vessels and also that the harbor of Duluth
labors under the same diffcu ties: therefore,
Reso1Ded, that the board of trade will coop
crate with the citizens of the Western States in
asking Congress o appropriate sufficient sums
to be expended on such improvements that will
allow the large class steamers and sail vessels
to navigate the said straits and canal, and we
will all proper and influences at
Washington to secure such appropriations.
The chair then selected the following gentle
men t, represent the board at the St. Paul con-
vention: Messrs. Cyrus Clarke, S. S. Guthrie,
George B. Matthews, Pascal P. Pratt, George
Sancrock, Stephen +. Sherman Edward b.

MURDER NEAR WARWICK.

\ cold blocded murder occurred, on last
Wednesday morning, about o'clock, ON
the farm of W. T. Beeks, +. Richards
tenant, between Warwick and Cecilton, 10y
which a colored man, named Jenkins
Whaley, was killed 10y one Medford Wat
tiers, also colored. The facts in the case
ale as follows: Whaley and Walters. to-
gether with two other colored and three
white men. were engaged huskirg corn for
Richards. 4 dispute arose between Wat
tiers and Whaley about the number or size
of some shocks of corn, when angry words
passed between them. and blows followed.
Failing to get satisfaction in this manner,
Walters ran to the house of colored per
son and got 4 pistol; returning he fired
two shots at Whaley, one missing him and
the other taking effect in his left breast,
killing aim almost ins;antly-he having
just time TO exclaim to one of his fellow
workmen, " | am shot" before he fell.
Deputy Sheriff Janney, happening to
pass the place. few hours later, noticed
the victim lying in the field, and on making
Inquiry ascertained that he had been shot.
as before stated. tie at once instituted a
search for Walters, who had quietly walk
ed away to the farm of ". X. Lock wood,
where his mother resides. and babe her

something bad aud would not be back soon
The Deputy could no, get any other trace
of Waters, but at once placed the mat
ter i'll the hands Of a cons table, and efforts
are yet being made for his apprehension.
The Deputy informs us that the five men
who witnessed the shooting did not make
any attempt whatever to arrest Waters,
and were so cowaidly that they positively
refused to give him any information as to
the whereabouts of Waters or assist in
arrestlng him, and 1t was only after prom
