GENERAL TELEGRAMS.
Action OF the Virginia Legislature Upon
the Usurpaff0u by Judge Yfvss-

RICHMOND, Jan. lS.-The Senate special COM
mittee and the House Committee on Federal
Relations, acting Jointly, to-day submitted a
long report and a series of resolutions in re-
gard to the alleged usurpation of state rights
by Judge Rives. The resolutions declare
that Virginia, in re-entering the Union
after the civil war, resumed all
her relations to the Government
on perfect equality with the other States and
is entitled to the same rights 5nd powers; that
the United States can no more rightfully in-
terfere with and attem pit to execute the powers
and perform the functions OF the States than
the States can those of the United States, and
any attempt by either to interfere with the
rights of the others will be usuIpatfon, and
unconstitutional and void; that, therefore,
all acts of Congress, and particularly those
known as the civil rights bill and enforce
ment act, which attempt or profess to attempt
to provide for the performance by the United
states of duties ana obligations belonging TO
States, are unconstitutional and VOID: that,
therefore, the action of the judge of the District
Court of the United States for the Western
District of Virginia, in assuming the jurisdic-
ton of the cases of Lee Reynolds and Burwell
Reynolds, parties charged with crime
against the laws of this common
wealth and held to answer therefor
an attempt to execute the laws of this
common wealth, and to regulate the internal
policy in the courts, and by officers of the
United States, which is unwarranted by the
constitution, destructive OF the rights of the
people of each State TO protect
life, liberty and property in their
own way, by their own courts
and officers and ought at once to be remedied
by proper judicial action, and any recurrence
! of the same prevented by appropriate legisla-
ton; that proper provision by law ought to be
made for prompt and effective supervision by
the Supreme Court of the United States of all
proceedings of judges of inferior courts of the
United States; that the governor is instructed
to direct the attorney general 10 institute pro-
ceedings in the name of this commonwealth
before the Supreme Court of the United States,
and demand such protection and redress as
that tribunal can afford in the premises.

To the Editor of the Sentinel:
5IR-Returning from Danyille the other
evening, where 1 had personally inquired
into and learned the facts as to the alleged
changes of venue from Judge Adams, I re-
ported to you the result, which was that
there was very little truth in it, and left
with you for publication statement as to
the same and of the circumstances under
which the information reached myself and
you. For some reason it did not appear.
The facts are these, and it is due to the
Judge. as we'll as myself, that they become
public; and l shall be glad 10 naye them in
serted in your paper:
On Friday of the frat week OF the Hen
bricks Circuit Court, VIM. A. Mckenzie,
ESQ.,, who is regarded as truthful gentle
man, was in my Office, and stated to my son
and myself that he had been in attendance
upon the court, and that thirty-one changes
of venue had been taken from Judge Adams
on account of bias, etc. He gave the details
of some of them. and brought in client.
who was sworn to an additional affidavit of
the same SORT did not doubt for a moment
| the truth of what he said, and when q
| friend, soon after, called in, I mentioned
| it to him, and while talking,
wrote down the facts in brief. Something
was said as to the propriety of allowing the
| press to use them, and, with my permission,
with hat view, be took the statement away,

Hiring Red Clouds warriors to Hunt
the Cheyennes.

FORT ROBINSON, Neb., Jan. lS.-A confer
ence was held here this morning between
Chief Red Cloud aud Lieutenant Schuyler, of
General Crooks staff, regarding the propriety
of Lieutenant Dodd, of the Third Cavalry, CO.
ing TO Red Clouds new location for the pur-
pose of enlistiug the services of some Sioux
warriors to be employed as scouts in the eX-
petition against the Brave Little band off hey-
ennes, now corralled at Crow Ridge, 80 miles
distant. Lieutenant Schuyler asked Red Cloud
if he thought Lieutenant Dodd could succeed
in obtaining the services CT fifteen of his war
riors. The old chief, in very grave tone OF
ground, said "My people are sad at heart
since their brothers were killed here some
moons ago They very angry with the
whites, and am nearly certain will not as
s'ist them" Lieutenant SCHUYLER, in as few
words as possible, gave him an account of
the Cheyenne outbreak; how the Cheyennes
fired upon the soldiers in fleeing from their
prison room, killing them, and In trying to
punish the Cheyenne bucks the squaws
accidentally killed. Lieutenant schuyler
finally got the old chief to say, young chief,
Lieutenant Dodd, can go to my camp and tell
my ssn-in-law, Young man-afraid- of-his-
try and get some of nay warriors to
help the government in capturing
the Cheyennes." Lieutenant Dodd who is
well known to the Red Cloud braves. started
Immediately for Pine Ridge agency on his
mission, with what success we will soon learn
1t is believed that Captain Johnson's COM
mand Joined Vessels at the scene of HOSTILE

Can This Be Truce
IaIowa." in Prairie Farmer.

Iowa, IN Pralrle Farmer.
Now come the Michigan millers and tell
US that a barrel, weighing l96 pounds, of the
starchy spring wheat flour of Minnesota snd
the North will make go to $50 pounds of
bread, while the winter wheat -four of Mich
igan will not make more than 2i0 ponnds
Is this credible? II so, is the bread from
both equally nutritious and filling as food?
we should like to know what the expe-
rieDced and able managers of the Prairie
Farmer say TO this, which is certainly news
to most of us.
Can this be true? If SO, it ought to be
more generally known, 1t is quite probable
that Michigrn winter wheat -four makes less
bread than Southern Illinois winter wheat
flour when the climate is drier. While this
is a novel way of testing flour, it is certainly
a correct one. These millers state that flour
made from choice Lancaster wheat yielded
;;;31 pounds of bread. Flour made from
Wabash River wheat yielded 3eS% pounds
of bread for straight and 310E pounds for
patent process.
