MISSISSIPPI ELECTION.


Senators Teller and Garland to-day con-
tinued the inquiry into the Mississippi cleo
tion. J. H. Field, of Columbia, testified he
did not know of single instance of intimida-
tion or attempt to prevent any one from vot-
ing.
Senator Garland-Are your people willing to
accord the black man all his rights under the
constitution? A. think they are, with this
modification, namely: The white people gen
orally would dissuade the negro by kind and
conciliatory means from having anything to do
with politics.
Senator Garland asked if Senators Kirkwood
and Teller should 60 into Mississippi and make
Republican speeches how would they be re-
ceived and treated? A. think the people
would warmly welcome them.
Capt. W. W. Humphreys testified the late
election was more peaceable and quiet than
usual. Nobody was prevented from voting and
he thought it as fair and honest an election as
in any Of the States. Witness added: There
was no disposition to deprive colored man of
any of his rights except, perhaps, on the part
of few extreme men. The freedom of speech
and of the press was fully recognized in Mis-
sissippi.

At minneapolis.

The taking of testimony in the Donnelly-
Washburn contest, which was to have been re-
sumed yesterday morning, was unexpectedly
postponed until Saturday morning. J. Nj.
Shaw, the counsel who appeared yesterday
morning for Mr.. Washburn, made the following
objections in regard to the manner in which
the notices had been served on parties who
were witnesses.
First-That it has not been made to appear
to the officer now here that any proper notice
of the taking of depositioTs of the witnesses
named at this time or place, or before this Off
Ger, has ever been given.
Second-That no such notice has, in fact,
ever been given.
Mr.. Chilstrom, attorney for the contestant,
admitted that the objection was according to
the letter of the law, but stated that a stipula-
tion had been made between Mr.. Donnelly and
Judge Flandrau that motion by mail would
be accepted as legal notice. and such was
also understood by Col. Fred Hooker, who said
that service upon him would have the same
force as if issued to Judge Flandrau. As it is
necessary to give two days notice of a hearing
Col. Hooker was notified by MAIL but he being
out Of town, notice was sent Judge Flandrau
on Thursday. He tele:raphed to Mr.. Shaw
yesterday that he had not been legally served
and the point was raised by Mr.. J. Nj Shaw
As there was no stipulation entered in the ues-
timony that Col. Hooker and Mr.. Chilstrom
had decided to do away with the legal formal
lty, the commissioner, Mr.. Bottineau, decided
to postpone the taking of testimony until Sat-
urday morning.

CAUSES OF SUDDEN DEATH.
New York World,

70 " sNOANAs
Very few of the sudden deaths which are
said to arise from from diseases of the heart
do really arise from that cause. TO ascer-
tain the real origin of the sudden deaths,
an experiment was tried and reported to a
scientific congress at Strasburg. Sixty.six
cases Of sudden death were made the sub
iect OF a thorough post mortem examination.
In these cases only two were found who
died from diseases Of the heart. Nine out
Of sixty-six had died of apoplexy, while
there were forty-six cases of congestion of
the lungs; that ia, the lungs were SO full Of
blood that they could not work, not being
room enough for u sufficient amount of air
to support life.
The causes that produce congestion of the
lungs are: cold feet, tight clothing, costive
bowels, sitting still until chilled after being
warmed with labor or a rapid walk, going
too suddenly from a close room into the air
especially after speaking, too hasty walking
or running to catch a train, etc. These
causes of sudden death being known, an
avoidance Of them may serve to leng.hen
many valuable lives, which would other
| wise be lost under the verdict of the heart
complaint. That disease is supposed to bt
inevitable and incurable, hence many may
not take the pains they would to AVOID sud
den death, if they knew it lay in theil
| power,

INVESTIGATING THE CAUSE.

The Congressional Labor Committed In.
qutrinR into the Cause of Business De-
preston.
Chicago, July 29.-The congressional
labor committee to day heard Hon. j. y.
Scammon, who stated his belief that the
panic of 1878 illustrated fully the necessity
for more money, which lesson other disas-
tiers to the nation and to private individuals
have enforced. From 1873 to 1878 a Ger
tain class Of people had plenty of money,
but the majority lived without. The Jaws
of supply and demand alone should limit
the supply of currency. He would double
the present amount Of currency by gradual
issues.
Joseph X. G. Forrest stated he believed
the panic resulted from too much personal
money (coln) and too little impersonal
money (paper money!. If the government
continued initiating according to Secretary
Sherman's method, it would come to a
crash. II we allowed England to dictate
our prices she would ere long wipe out our
labor and %impoverish US. He favored the
repeal Of the resumption act.
William Saley, publisher, representing
the g%reenback party, read his views of the
present depression. He believed it result
ed from over imitation and speculation and
too sudden contraction. The shylocks had
all the money, and they demanded exorbi-
tant rates OF interest for it. He severely
denounced Secretary Sherman and the re-
publican party. There was no such thing
possible as over production.
The government should, like France, EN-
ploy idle labor in public works. Manufac
!, turers are hard-hearted and selfish, ant
regardless Of the condition of labor. Eigh
hours was a long enough day. He didn'
believe in violence or disorder, but did be
lieve in justice.
l John d. Kedsie thought the depression
which covered the whole world had a two
!, fold cause: First, revulsion from the er;
of Indebtedness and speculation that oh
tanned up to 1875; and second, the demone
~tization of silver by all the countries Of tn
world about the same time. This latte
was the principal cause. France alone di,

The coinage of standard silver dollars
will this month fall between $4,000 and
900 short of the minimum amount fixed
by law, $4,000 900 monthly. The deficiency
will be due to the fact that on the lst Of
July the stock of silver bullion at San Fran
cisco and Carson City minis had been so
reduced that there was nothing to commence
work upon. Since then it has been impossi-
BILE to procure bullion for those minis, Up
to the 30th of June work was pushed for
ward continually at the Philadelphia and
New Orleans minis so as to run the coinage
up to the 50, ooo,o 900 required for that month
The mint at Philadelphia will be run night
and day during August to make up the
deficiency.

RAILROAD INDICATIONS,

New phases in the operations of the Mil
waukee company are by no means so few as
to excite special interest, hence we do not
suppose the announcement that something
fresh is in the wind will occasion much stir.
The special ambassador of the Press and
Dakotaian, who hangs about the outskirts
of the engineers and graders camps and
picks up items of information, writes US
that On Tuesday the contractors commenced
moving to the Missouri river to open the
grade on that end of the extension. As a
portion of the outfit mentioned by him has
reached Yankton and is now in camp on
the Rhine awaiting the arrival of engineers,
and as other squads have struck the river at
points farther up, it is difficult to determine
the exact meaning Of the change of base.
Our informant further says that on Monday
contracts were let for completing the grade
to Jim river from the east. He says there
is considerable talk around the camps about
a Yankton branch, and it is his opinion
that the grade of such a line could be made
for $500 a mile. A prominent engineer of
the road said on Tuesday, in the hearing Of
the gentlemen who sends US the news that
it was the settled purpose Of the company
to grade from forty to sixty miles this
season up the Niobrara, and westward from
the Missouri in the direction of. the Black
Hills, from which it is inferred that the
Finlay branch is to be the main line of the
extension. The whole line to the Missouri
was to be opened for work Wednesday, via
Niobrara. Finally, our correspondent
closes with a hastily written ''Iater," in
which he admonishes US not to place too
much confidence in signs, and says there's
a niger in the woodpile somewhere"
These are the reports which come to us.
There is an air of uncertainty about them
which is not very satisfactory.
