What j Hsiice Miller says of Nr

Justice Samuel L. Miller, of the
United States Supreme Court. is so
journing at Block Island. The fact
| that Justice Miller was q member of
t,le electoral commission. and that
he voted with the Republicans on
every test question:" is recalled by Il
correspondent OF the New York Sun,
who reports the points OF a CONVEX
sation on political topics in which
that jnrist recently took part. The
Sun correspondent quotes Justice
Miller rs saving:
Il have met Mr.. Tilden on.y once
in the past sixteen years. That was
at Saratoga last summer. when he
occupied a cottage neal my place Of
residence, and passed me frequently.
| thought of speaking to him once or
twice, but did not know how he
might take it in view Of.my position
towards his claims in the matter of
the electoral tribunal. / think
that he unquestionably tried to buy
that elector in Orcgon-that the
$4,000 which was transferred by tel
egraph for that purpose came out of
his pocket. | think also that mon
ey was raised, with his knowledge.
for the purpose of buying enc of the
returning boards, and that only his
characteristic hesitation prevented
his using that method of securing
the board. On the other hand, it
may be said of him that he honestly
thought himself elected and entitled
to the votes of the two Southern
States which the tribunal decided
against him. He was elected in
Louisana-that is he got eight thou
and II ten thousand more actual
votes tn ere than Hayes.In the event
of his success next year | think he

age. He cannot be bullied hysthe
politicians or office seekers. He has
made an excellent governor of New

tive and executive powers of a high
order. He is old and rich, and has
no temptation to abuse the powers
of his office, while he has every in

administration, one which will en-

connected with the public schools OF
this city. and pastor of the Napoleon

a painful accident on Monday, which
resulted in his death on Thursday

days at Vaudeville, and, on Monday,
going in bathing, he jumped upon a
hidden stump. or pile, striking upon
the groin, and causing internal in

He thinks Kansas is a magnificent

Regarding the emigrants already in
Kansas he says a great many are hang
ing about the cities and towns in the
Eastern part of the State, and that
their condition is bad. The emigrants
generally, be thinks, fairly realize the
fact that they must work for a living in
Kansas as we'll as elsewhere, and he
believes a large majority of them would
gladly return to their homes if they
could obtain free transportation or had
money to procure tickets.
About half a.dozsn of the party re-
msined in Kansas with relatives, but
they brought back mor than that
number, and could have brought hun

modate them on the train. MIR. Hub

The Democratic Executive Committee
of Wilkinson county have passed some
resolutions in opposition to the constr.

will cause onr State and county officers
to be elected ut the same time the Con
gressmen are elected, Mt which time
the Government has the power to super

and Supervisors. We want no Federal
supervisor of our State and county
elections and for that reason it would
be we'll enough TO defeat the amend

The votes of the Republican leaders
and the vetoes of the President have
shown that the dominant party is re

odious machinery for controlling State
