At business houses they tore the cash
drawers from the counters and took all

Money seemed to be their aim, as not
much of anything else was missed. They

The Teller Committee, January %, took
additional Republican testimony, showing
the voting OF tissue tickets, wrapped in
large tickets, at various precincts in Rich
land County.
Gen. johnson 81. Good, Controller Cen
eral, described meetings at Sumter, Octo-
Der IL, testifying that both races were ex-
cited, and the whites expected to be at.
tacked by negroes. The blocking of the
street by colored people threatened to lead
to trouble, and an alarm was rung, but or
der was restored with difficulty.
White and colored Democrats from Sum-
ter County testified that there were from
1,500 to 1000 colored Democrats in the
county, and hundreds of them were seen to
vote the Democrat ticket. Two testified
to being cursed, jeered at and threatened
by colored Republicans, one being obliged
to leave his church.
WI. Whipper, colored, Republican, de-
scribed the turbulent conduct of the Demo-
Gratis, and a demand for the division of time
in Hampton County. Three Republicans
from Collector County testified to intimida-
ton and the use of tissue ballots in that
county. In one large ticket there were
ffty.nine tissues. This testimony was
fatty contradicted by the Democratic
County Chairman, who swore to the thor.
oughness and peacefulness of the Demo
cratic canvass, which, with the accession
of prominent Republicans after the Repub'
lican nominations were made, gave the
Democrats the county by a decisive ma.

The National Complaint.

Dyspepsia is the national complaint. Al
most every other man or woman you meet
has it, and the result is that the number Of
pseudo-remedies for it is as numerous as
Pharaoh's host. They are for the most part
worthless. There is, however, a searching
eradicant of this distressing and obdurate
malady, one whose genuine merits long
since raised it to a foremost place among
the staple medicines of America. Hostel.

sitting Bull want. to R.turu.

AT a recent Cabinet session, Secretary
Sehurz stated that he had received q report
from the Indian Agent at the Cheyenne
Agency to the effect that information had
reached that place of the recrossing of the
Canadian line into the United States of the
noted chief, Sitting Bull, with his people,
and that they are exceedingly anxious to
return to this country, and come under
the supervision of the Indian Bureau,
and be distributed in the Indian country as
other tribes. This news was not confirmed
by any information at the War Department,
but it was thought worthy of serious con.
sideration, and led to some discussion in
the Cabinet. 1t is reported that some five
thousand lodges, or nearly fifteen thousand
people, are with Sitting Bull. The sub
lect will receive the immediate atten.
ton of the President and secretarie,
OF the Wan and Interior Depart
ments. kilograms will be sent to tb,
ofhcers of tie War Department, as well al
to Indian Agents, requiring them to Civ,
the authorities here all the information
they can obtain on this matter. The re
port is that Sitting Bull comes with tn,
most peaeeable intentions, but in the pres
ent disturbed condition of Indian affairs i
is not known what may be his meaning.

a Cougar Attack. wom.n

Two emigrant families from Arkansas en-
route to Hood County, Texas, were lost on
Mountain Creek. They had been directed
to take a certain road, but took the wrong
road, which led them out on the Grand
Prairie, where the whole face of the earth
appeared one boundless expanse of snow.
After wandering for some time, they son.
cluded to camp, and corraled their
horses. In the dead of night the party,
which consisted Of two men and their
wives, were aroused by the horses,
which had stampeded. The animals were
scampering over the broad prairies. The
men and women ran in different directions
after the horses. One of the women fol-
lowed one of the animals over the brow of
a hill. Suddenly there came to the ears of
the others the screams of a m and, on
running to the place, the husband was
horrifed to find a cougar, or Mexican lion,
about six feet long, tearing his wife. The
lion had jumped on her back, terribly
lacerating it and her breast. A shot killed
the savage beast. The woman was badly
hurt. The frightened horses were recap
tured and the emigrants were put on the
right road.

him lying upon his shattered bed a mutilated
corpse. Her screams brought the husband
quickly to the bedroom, and an inspection
disclosed a ragged opening in the roof, di-
rectly over the breast of the unfortunate
man, which was torn through as if by a
c~annon-shot, and extending downward
through the bedding and floor;
other holes showed the direction
taken by the deadly missile. Subsequent
search revealed the fact that the awful
calamity was caused by the fall of a meteo-
rio stone, and the stone itself pyramidal in
shape, and weighing twenty pounds and a
few ounces, avoirdupois, and stained with
blood, was unearthed from depth of
nearly five feet, thus showing the fearful
impetus with which it struck the dwelling.
The position of the corpse, with other sur.
roundings, when found, showed that the
victim was asleep when stricken, and that
death to him was painless.

Boys AND PIsToLs.-"I never could
understand" the Deacon said, "why a
boy should carry a pistol. A pistol is a
very peculiar tire-arm; it is made for a
very peculiar purpose. 1t is quite nat
ural for some boys to want rifles or shot
guns, with which they may kill game;
but a pistol is intended to kill human
beings. and this is about all it is good
for. There are very few boys in this
country who could shoot a bird or a rab-
| bit with a pistol, and any one who should
go out hunting with a pistol would be
laughed at. This being the case, why
should a boy want a pistol? What hu-
man beings would he | Ike 10 kill?
cit is useless to say that he may need
his pistol for purposes of defense. Not
one boy in a thousand is ever placed in
such a position that he need defend him
self with q pistol. But it often has hap
pened that boys who carried loaded pis-
tolls thought that it would be a manly
thing, under certain circumstances, to
use them, and yet, when the time came
and they killed somebody, they only
brought down misery on themselves and
their families. And this, too, in many
a case where, if DO one present had had
a pistol, the affair would have passed of
harmlessly, and been soon forgotten.
But the way in which boys gener-
ally take human life with pistols is some
! accidental way. They do not kill high
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1879-01-30

waymen and robbers, but they kill their
schoolmates, or their brothers, or their
sisters, or, in many cases, themselves.
There is no school where boys are taught
to properly handle and carry a loaded
pistol; SO they usually have to learn
these things by long practice. And,
while they are learning, it is very likely
that some one will be shot. l saw in a
newspaper, not Ing ago, accounts OF
three fatal accidents, all of which hap
peued on the same day, from careless
use of firearms. And one of these
dreadful mishaps was occasioned by a
lad who carried a loaded pistol in his
overcoat pocket, and who carelessly
threw down the coat.
"And then, again, a boy ought to be
ashamed to carry a pistol, especially a
loaded one. The possession Of such a
thing is a proof that he expects to &c
among vicious Ieople. Eff he goes into
good society, and has honest, manly fel.
lows for his companions, he will not need
a pistol A loaded pistol in a boys
pocket is not only useless and danger
Gus, but also it almost always stamps
him as a bad boy, or one who, wishes te

Cremation at Home and Abroad.

ALI efforts to popularize cremation in
this country are ~unavailing. Old LIE
Moyne's furnace up in Pennsylvania is
not paying one per cent. on the invest
ment, and there is talk of turning it
into a popcorn factory. So long as
real estate is abundant in this country
and reasonably cheap for burial pur-
poses, cremation will not flourish. In
the Old World, however, where funerals
are expensive and grave room scarce,
there is quite a revival. Last year the
furnace at Milan consumed t~wenty-seven
corpses, the cost of burning being but
seventy-fve cents in each case. In

agreed upon in Democratic caucus, as a
substitute for the Edmunds resolution con-
corning suffrage and the later Constitu.
tional amendments:
al. As the judgment of the Senate that
the 18th, 18th, and 10Th Amendments of the
Constitution of the United States are as
valid and binding as any other part of the
Constitution; that the people of the United
States have a common interest in the en-
forcement of the whole Constitution in ev-
cry State and in the Territories of the
United States, and that it is alike the right
and duty of the United States, so far as
power has been delegated to them, to en-.
force the amendments and to protect every
citizen in the exercise of al rights thereby
secured.
90. That the Government of the United
States and government of the several States
are distinct, and each has citizens OF its
own who owe it allegiance, and whose
rights within lis jurisdiction it must pro.
tect, that the Government of the United
States is one of delegated powers alone, and
its authority is defined and limited by the
Constitution. ALL powers not granted to il
by that instrument, and not prohibited by
1t to the States, are reserved to the States
respectively or to the people; and that nc
right. can be acquired under the Constitu'
ton or secured through the laws of the

Constitution has invested citizens of The
United States with a new constitutions
right, which is exemption from discrimina

OF account of race, color, orprevious condi
ton of servitude; and it is within the
jurisdiction of the Government of the
United States, which Congress may exert by
appropriate legislation, to prevent denia
