HANGING.
Lewiston Teller.


Report comes to US that two China
men were hung in Warrens Oh Or
about the 5th instant by parties un-
known. The circumstances of the
case were related to us substantially
as follows: A miners cabin had been
robbed of many articles Of value. A
while afterwards Chinaman was
found wearing pair Of boots that
belonged to the stolen property. This
man and another Chinaman with him
were arrested and brought before JUS
tice Sanderson upon the charge Of
committing the robbery. A hearing
was had on the 5th, the Chinaman
claiming that he bought the boots OF
another Chinaman who was absent.
The case was adjourned over till the
next day to give further time to pro-
cure testimony. Meantime the two
prisoners were lodged in the old jail
under the charge Of John Skinner.
Skinner locked them up safely for the
night and went down town. On re-
turning to the Jail he found the Jail
door burst open AMI both of the plis-
oners gone. The next morning their
lifeless bodies were found hanging
near the old Pioneer mill on Slaugh-
ter creek about mile above town. It
is reported that eight or ten men were
met between the town ard the place
of hanging during the night, and the
supposition is that these men had the
Cinnamon with them We learn that
some of these men can be identified
though we know nothing Of the facts
The other Chinese in the camp are
very much excited about the matter
and say they will produce the mar
alive who did the robbery If tbs
above statement is true or nearly Sc

CASE has been miSrepresented to us
We have always heretofore regarde,
the citizens of that camp law-abidin,
and disposed to have the law take it
course in the punishment of criminal,
and among all of our acquaintances

The old story about the revolver
which wasn't supposed to be loaded is
told over again almost every day in
some part Of the country. Generally
it is the innocent bystander who re-
ceives the weapons contents in bis
person, but case somewhat out of
the ordinary line is reported from
New Hampshire. Four young men of
Bristol were talking together when
one of them pointed cooked revolver
at another. He was told to stop, as
the revolver was loaded. whereupon
he pointed it laughingly at his own
head and fell corpse. If somebody
must be killed when fool gets hold
of a revolver, it is on all accounts
best that it should be the fool himself

AN election fraud case in a small
way has just turned up in Iowa which
demands some of the indignant atten-
tion which the organs are now giving
to Maine 1t concerns the election
Of a Treasurer for Des Moines county.
The Republican Board Of Supervisors
having the canvassing of the vote re-
turned the Republican as elected by
twenty-six majority. His Democratic
opponent took the necessary legal
measures to contest the election on
the ground of crrots in counting the
votes. A commission Of three, repre-
senting each of the candidates and
the Board Of Supervisors, was APP
pointed to examine the returns and
hear evidence. Some thirty votes
were found with the name of the Dem
Iocratic candidate misspelled, which
had been thrown out. The commis-
sion, consisting of two Republicans
and one Democrat, by vote of two
TO one, decided that these votes could

LOUISVILLE.
The Presbyterian General Assembly.

LOUISVILLE, May 2O,-The Presby.
terian general assembly convened at
nine am, with the moderator, James
R. Wilson, in the chair The reports
Of the committee on the records of
the synods of Memphis, North Caro-
lima, South Carolina and Kentucky,
were read aud approved. DIR. Wood
ruff moved to take from the docket
the report on the records of the synod
of Georgia. Carried. He spoke at
some length on the case of Mr.. Block,
who appealed from the Central church
of Atlanta. He brought up again the
question as to whether the deliverances
of the assembly shaped the law Of the
church or not He was interrupted
by motion to postpone until the com
mittee on bills and overtures should
have made their report.
A letter read by the moderator
from R. Il. Caldwell, who experienced
some trouble in his rights as a COM
missioner, was referred to the com
mittee on foreign correspondence, who
have invited Mr.. Caldwell to address
the meeting tomorrow at IL o'clock.
This action involves the question
whether communication should BE-
made with a general assembly by letter
or by delegate.
The committee on bills and over.
lures made report on the subject Of
worldly amusements, to the effect that
if church member was guilty of any
offense he should be privately admon.
ished by the pastor, and if he contin,
ued to do so the ofense demanded
that he should be publicly reproved.
Therefore considerable discussion was
INDUCED in, Dr. Woodrow objecting
to the report on the ground that the
minister had no right to reprove
wrong doing, but it was left to the
court. The gentleman who framed
the report spoke for it clearly and il
was adopted.

SARATOGA.
Report Of the Presbyterian Board
on Home Missions.

SARATOGA, N. Y, May 20. The
first business before the Presbyterian
General Assembly was reading the
report of the board of home missions,
which shows that there are 1902 mis-
sionaries engaged in the work, all of
whom have prosecuted their labors
with marked success. During the past
year 10 missionaries have died 1902
ministers preached at stated inter
walls in not less than $500 places !;
in 1878 and 70 they organized 1854
Sunday schools, and now have under
their care lll,S8l pupils; many re-
yivals have been enjoyed. The board
reports the organization of 1876
churches, and an increase in member
ship of 1882, of whom 1893 were by
letter and GIG on profession of faith.
Financially, the year had been one Of
hardship to contributors and mission
aries. Long continued financial dis
tress in the country had led to wide
spread discouragements. The receipts,
while twenty-five per cent. less than
the amount called for, were $l7, 1866 in
excess of 1877 and 7S. i.sH. u.tu

The steps taken yesterday at the
joint meeting Of the chamber of com
merce and the cotton exchange and
citizens in general indicate the interest
taken in the important subject Of
sanitation. The attendance was large
and the proceedings were marked by
decorum and great earnestness. Per-
tinent speeches were made by Rev.
DR.. Boggs, DR. R. w. Mitchell,
DR.. Porter, DR.. Thornton, Rev
DR.. Landrum and others, and a
committee of five was appointed to
report plan of organization back to
another meeting to be held at the
same place next Thursday afternoon.
1t is to be hoped permanent organi-
cation will be perfected, and that the
earnestness and anxiety of the people
in regard to the sanitary condition of
the city will result in sound practical
measures. We must help ourselves
and not wait for some future epidemic
and then run off and leave the few
who cannot get away to take care of
the city and appeal to the world
for charity Memphis at present
is remarkably healthy and will most
likely remain so all summer. But we
must look to the future. Go to work,
cleanse, pave and sewer the city and
adopt sanitary system which shall
forever prevent the recurrence of cpl
denies. We must begin now and keep
it up all summer and next winter, and
next summer, and so on, until science
and common sense and practical meas
ures can do no more. Let there be a
full attendance Thursday.

Edmunds Objects.
The Bill to Transfer Cases from State
to Federal Courts. Fl.

WASHINGTON, May 2O-SENATE.-
Mr.. Mcdonald Indiana) asked leave
to introduce bill authorizing the
President of the United States to
employ the militia and land and
naval forces Of the United States to
enforce the laws wherever their exc
cution are obstructed by combinations
too powerful to be suppressed by the
judicial authorities, etc., and prevent
ing the military from being used as a
posse commitatus except in cases as
authorized by the constitution and
laws.
Mr.. Edmuuds objected to the intro
duction Of the bill on the ground that
previous notice had not been given.
Mr.. Mcdonald withdrew the bill
and gave notice that he should ask
leave to introduce it tomorrow.
Consideration of the legislative,
judicial and executive appropriation
bill was then resumed. u4
HoUsE.-The business Of the morn
ing hour was the bill to amend the
laws relating to the transfer of cases
from the State to the Federal courts,
and Mr.. Urner concluded his argu-
ment against it saying "There was
but one power sovereign and supreme
in this broad land, and that was the
power of the government Of the United
States" 'lm 'a .A
Mr.. Fry moved to lay the bill on
the table.
Mr. Saunders read a short speech in
opposition to the bill, that the use of
the military is necessary to secure fair
elections in the South.
Mr.. White said the political clauses
of the bill were not extensive enough
to meet his views, which were opposed
to all Federal interference, civil or
military in State affairs. In his
Judgment there is no such a thing as a
national election. Elections are either
State or municipal senator's and rep
resenntiyes are agents, and are respon-
sible to States. af
The motion was defeated by vote
of SO ayes, to 1l2 nays, The vote was
a strict party one, with the exception
of Mr. Conger, who voted in the mega

be goodbeginning to commence at the
west end and go as far as Main or
down to the postofice if the property

street is traverSed by pedestrians and
all kinds of vehicles as much as any
piece of street in Memphis, and If
the work were well done and durable,
it would stimulate the people to pave

The negro exodus seems to be sub.
siding and will no doubt soon become
a thing Of the past, to be wondered
at and to remain unexplained. The
spirit of moving seemed to possess the
negroes like contagion, all at once.
1t swept over the South in wild,
epidemic form, but is already going
down. Some strange psychological
influence affected thousands Of them
at once, and they passively yielded to
it as they would to sleep or the dream
Of an opium eater. The awakening OF
those who reach the promised land Of
Kansas will be no pleasant realization,
butoneo regrets and sickening disgust.
The victims of this delusion cannot be
blamed, but those who encouraged it
out of desire to injure the South and
gain some slight political advantage
have committed a crime upon their
ignorant fellow-man. The negro has
perfect right, legally, to abandon his
crops, sell his little stuff for a song,
and go to Kansas. But no one has
been or can be benefited by such a
change, and those who advise the
deluded negroes To go there know
it, Fred Douglass knows it and
says so. Senator Bruce knows it,
and has the manliness to say so, but
the hypocritical, pretended friends and
special guardians Of the colored race
know all this, and deliberately perpe-
trate falsehood for malicious and
diabohcal purpose. We can spare all
who will go, and have only to en-,
courage the movement to hasten the
reaction which will set in even before
the rigors of winter come on to des-
troy helpless thousands onthe frozen
plains of an inhospitable climate.
Those who return are good missiona-
ries to preach the gospel of stay at
home and work. They will all wish
tdey were at home long before Christ
mas. Social equality in Kansas will
be to them the frozen hell that some
infdel said was preached to the Es-
auimaux. They will wish they were
out of it when it is too
late, and their summer friends,
having accomplished their purposes,
abandon them to their fate. The
worst seems to be over. Tho negroes
arc not such fools that they can al
ways be deceived by pretended friends.
They begin to realize the situation,
and worry few Of them seem disposed "a
leave comfortable homes and fair pay
for their labor to 90 out into the kan-
sas wilderness Of prairies, ,bsw "a
