NEW REPUBLICAN PLOT.


BY means of a shameless plot in
no degree less ubiquitous than that
by which they stole the Presidency
in 1876, the Republicans reendeav-
Oring to set aside the Democratic
majority which will appear in the
next House and secure for Them
selves the organization of that body.
Their machinery of United States
Marshals and Federal Supervisors
of election is to be used for this pur-
pose. The judges before whom
these electioneering cases come,
Settle and the rest, are working
with packed iuries of negroes and
scalawags who are ready to go any
lengths that the party may demand.
Democrats elect are to be indicted
before these iuTies and sent to the
penitentiary. Two of the Demo-
Gratis elected are already indicted
and efforts are being made to indict
three more. The certain majority
in the House is only eight, and a
very little additional maneuvering
would complete the work. One of
their grounds of hope is that Ack-
len, of Louisiana, though elected as
a Democrat, may vote with the
Republicans in revenge because the
Democrats refused to whitewash his
. dirty record while the Republicans
took him lovingly to their arms,
dirt and all. \ Greenbacker or two
is also hoped for as a recruit to the
ranks of deserters, and altogether
the plot looks 4 promising one.
One of the results of this plot will
probably be that the Democrats
who had already demanded the re-
peal of the Federal election laws
which make these things possible
will be rendered unanimous in in
sisting upon that repeal as condi-
tion of granting the appropriations.
An extra session becomes more
probable than hitherto as a result of
this imbrOglio.
Another question on which they
viii make fight is this: The Sem
ate, by a strict party vote, has
stricken out of the army bill the
clause which forbids the army being
used as a posse coalis0t,Gs in election
disputes. The Democrats are unan-
imous for letting the army bill fall
entirely rather than allow this alter
alton. 1t becomes evident from all
this that the Republicans hope to
manage the next Presidential cleo
ton, as they did the last, by means
of the army, and as this implies
the control of the executive it proves
the reconciliation of the stalwarts
with the executive 10 be well nigh
complete.
If their programme can be carried

We wish to cali especial attention to the
following copy of the amended game law
passed Feb. IA, 1879 On the strict observance
of the above law depends the very existence
Of game in such parts OF Tennessee as are in
any degree generally accessible; and while
in a large measure the observance of it will
accord with the convictions of reasonable
men and so be voluntary, it ought to be
known that there is in this county an asso-
citation for the enforcement of it and the
other game laws of the State. Its members
are among the foremost men of the county
and they are bound by mutual compact to
report and prosecute all cases of violation of
these laws that may come to their knowl-
edge:
AN ACT for the protection of game and
other birds in the county of Montgomery.
Section /. Be it enacted by the General
Assembly of the state OF Tennessee, that no
person shall hunt, kill or capture, in the
counties of MOHtgOm 'ry and Cheatham,
from the first day OF March to the fifteenth
day of october in each year, any song bird,
as the mOclSing bird, thrush, robin, or oriole,
nor any bird that feeds on insects, as the
sparrow, catbird, bluebird or woOdpeclker,
nor any oftHe following lme birds, to wit
the partridge or quail, grouse or pheasant,
or lark, nor from the first day of March to
the first day OF August any woOdcOck, dove
or wild turkey, nor from the first day of
May TO the first day of September any snipe,
plOver or duck. No person shall at any
time destroy the nests or eggs of any of these
birds nor hold in captivity any of the afore-
said game birds during the periods above
mentioned; Provided, however, that any
| person having in his possession alive any OF
| the game birds aforesaid and during the
| periods prohibited, shall not he subject to
! the penalties attached, if he shall have
made oath at the time of acquiring posses
| sion of said birds, and before some officer
| duly qualified that the said game birds have
| been bought or are retained ia captivity for
| the purpose Of being set free in the county
aforesaid.
| Sec. 2. Be IL further enacted, that the vio-
| lation of this act is hereby declared to be q
| miSdemeanOr, and any person convicted
! under it shall be punished in the same man.
ner as for other misdPmeanors, ard in all
| prosecutions under this act no prosecutor
| shall be required.
Sec. 3. Be il further enacted, that all laws
or parts of laws in conflict with this act
| be and are hereby repealed, and this act
take effect from and after its passage, the
| public welfare requiring it.
Passed Feb. II, 1879.

DIFFERENCE AMONG
REPUBLICANS.

Especial Dispatch TO the Chicago Trlbunel
Washington, Dec. 5.-Representatlve Keiier, Of
Ohio, who Is strong personal friend Of President
Hayes, said to-day that the financial recommen.
dstions In the message would, If adopted, disrupt
the Republican party beyond all hopes Of recov.
cry. 1t was the most unfortunate advice ever
given In Presidents message, "Mr. Sherman
has diminished his chances for the nomination
for the Presidency by at least 20 per cent" said
Mr.. Keifer "by asking Congress to take away from
greenbacks their legal tender character" II that
issue had been made In Ohio this fall, Mr.. Keifer
links, the Republicans would have lost by 10000
votes, and Illinois would on the same issue, give
Democratic majority of $4,000. When asked II
the harm done by the Administration was incura.
BILE, Mr. Keller replied that what had been said
could not be recalled. The mistake had been
made, the whole country has become aware OF It,
and Its penalties must fall upon the heads OF those
who made 1t. The Republican party Is SAFE he
thinks, only 30 long as 1t utterly dlsregards what
the President and Mr.. Sherman advocated as the
policy for the Government to adopt
Mr.. Reed, Of Maine, representative Of the ex.
treme Eastern school, takes the opposite view.
The country, he thinks, is really In great danger
from threatened imitation Of the paper currency
No country has ever yet tried the experiment OF
making paper legal tender without encountering
disaster at some stage OF It, II we escape II shall
be the only exception in thousand years. Now
he thought, good time to retire that dangerous
element'Of our monetary system. Frederick the
Great carried on war In comparison with which
ours was iee.blte for four years without Issuing
paper legal tenders. We let go of sound money at
the end the first year, We have been fourteen
years in resuming. France resumed In seven"
He says he feels ashamed whenever he compares
our country with France, that we, In spite OF our
advantages, should have so little Judgment. The
telligence and Wealtlrof the Republican party.
How, he could not say. Their orators were
tramps ignorant, ragged and dirty aud the peo-
pie look upon them, as the prophets Of old were
regarded, with fear. Mr.. Reed iB astonished that
the Republicans should not take this opportunity
Of financial prosperity to get rid Of the greenbacks

HEIRS TO 5000, 100000.

Tho Robinsons, Of Ottawa, and other heirs of
Hannah and Betsey Taylor claim 1900 acres Of
land on which a part Of the city Of Philadelphia
ia built eleven square miles Of land on the banks
Of the Hudson river, large tract Of coal lands In
Pennsylvania, and scattered properties in New
York and elsewhere. The Canadian heirs value
the whole estate, including the Philadelphia
property, at 5000, 100000. According 10 the Cana.
dian story three generations ago the two married
daughters Of Colonel William Baker settled near
Ottawa, and In 1901 inheritedth the property Of their
father, TO whom his two brothers had bequeathed
their estates. The delay In claiming the estates
was due to the ignorance Of the daughters OF their
fathers death at the time Of its occurrence, and
their ohildren's Ignorance that such an estate
waited for them. There are 80 claimants In Can.
ada and Northern New York. There are 81 other

Jacob Baker died nteatste at the residence OF his
brother in Canada, leaving IN possession Of rela.
tives his discharge from the army, uniform,
