HOW MERCHANTS ARE ROBBED.

In Supreme Court. Chambers, yesterday. before
Judge Barrett. there argued motion to vacate
the order OF Arrest in the suit brought by the Arm
of Wilson srcig against Henry Phillips and Person
Hcndrickson, Ambrose H. Purdy appearing for the
merchants and Leo schwab for the defendants. From
the adavits In the it appeared that the defend
ants employees of the dry goods firm OF Wilson
Greig and that they, by combining together, had,
alleged robbed the firm of upward OF $4,000.
and that in consequence of such robbery they had
been arrested and held in $4,000 bail. Mr.. schwab
asked the Court to vacate the order OF
arrest the ground that the defendant
Hendrickson did not personally receive the
stolen money in hduciary capacity. Mr..
Purdy. in replying. said that these defendants
have by a cunningly devised conspiracy robbed this
firm OF $4,000 and that they believed the amount of
their stealngs Is much larger sum. Judge Barrett
refused TO vacae the order OF arrest and denied the
motion ct once. In to the request OF com
sci Tor the defendants to "take the papers" the
Judge replied that the free from any doubt,
and the motion to vacate the order OF arrest must
be denied.

The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1879-12-11

Senator Bailey, of this state, has
introduced bill in Congress to aid
the education of the negro race. 1t
recitcs in its preamble that FIVE hun
dred and ten thousand dollars have
recently been covered back into the
United States treasury from the APP
Preparations for pay and bounties Of
colored soldiers which remained I'M
claimed, after seven years, owing to
the impossibility of discovering the
claimants, and asserts that under the
circumstances the colored people should
lIave the benefit of said money for
their educational Improvement and
elevation. The bill, therefore, directs
the secretary Of the treasury to invest
the five hundred and ten thousand dol
lars in United States registered four
per cent. bonds, to be apportioned in
equal parts to the following institutions
for the education of the colored people,
viz: The Howard University, Wash
inston, District of Columbia; Hamp-
ton (Na.) Normal and Agricultural
Institute; Fisk university, of Nash
vile, Tennessee; Atlanta GA Uni
ver>ity, and the Straight university,
of New Orleans. The trustees Of
these institutions are to be entitled to
use the interest on the bonds in such
manner as in their judgement will
best promote the ends for which they
arc chartered, but the principal of the
bonus Is to be inalienable.

The Indianians, like the Kansans,

The Indianians, like the Kansans,
are beginning to howl over the negro
emigration to that state. They
don't like it at all. State Senator
Foster says:
If the negroes had gone there of
their own accord they would all have
been well received, and would have
stained employment and good wages,
hut As it Is there is very strong pub
lie sentiment against them, and the
lcuple have become disguised. The
public sentiment in his section of the
State is 50 strong that the farmers and
Others who employ these people find
themselves in a measure ostracised.
If the movement is intended as a po-
litical one Mr.. Foster predicts that it
will be entirely Intellectual, because
the party expecting political capital
out of it will lose more by the defec-
lion of the citizens of Indiana than
they can possibly gain by the new
