The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1879-06-26

The New York World says the
concern OF the country at large in the
"negro exodus" is simply the loss
which that exodus may infiict upon
the cultivation or gathering of the
growing crops. The reports now
make it quite certain, we are glad to
say, that no loss worth reckoning has
so far been done to the cotton crop.
The sugar crop in Louisiana Is not
grown III the region affected by the
flight of the negroes. If, therefore,
the press reports from the Southwest
are as trustworthy as they seem to
be impartial, the exodus has really
affected nothing at all, and the agents
in the Northern States who are cOm-
missioned to magnify it for political
effect have not succeeded in doing
to every honest interest in the land
what they designed to do, and they
may be safely left to fall out and tell
the truth about each other, after the
manner of Republican politicians in
the South, political witnesses from
Louisiana and the like.

A Statue of sold HickOry''--A
Suggestion.
Knoxville Tribune.

Clark Mills. the sculptor, who made
the equestrian statue of Gen. Jackson
at Washington, duplicate of which
he placed in New Orleans, has one
more copy which was made for a gen.
tleman in Tennessee before the war,
but not finished in time for delivery.
The party who ordered it died before
the close of the war, and it was never
delivered. 1t was the purpose to
place it on the Capitol grounds at
Nashville. We are informed that
MIR. Mills, who is an old-time Jackson
democrat, being anxious for it to come
to Tennessee, proposes to sell 1t for a
nominal priceless than it cost him
If it can be purchased to come to
this state.
We would suggest that the Tennes-
see Historical Society take the neces>
sary steps to buy this statue by pri,
vate subscriptions throughout the
state, and place it at the Capitol at
Nashville.

Tea Culture.

Tea has been raised as far north as
Missouri by a farmer named J. F.
Fulbright. 1t is of the Young Hyson
variety, and said to be as good as i'm
ported tea. The seed were procured
from Georgia, and the plant is easily
raised. growing about three feet high
and is covered thick with leaves,
which have to be gathered just be-
fore frost. The experiment ought
to be tried here in Tennessee. When
we drink our own tea we shall have
no fear of adulterations, and besides
save a large revenue that we now
send abroad to enrich others.
We clip the abo-e article from the
Memphis Evening Herald. This ex>
pertinent of raising our own tea is
well worth trying. After landing at
our large seaports but little of this
article leaves for the interior in a
state of purity. If it can be raised
in Missouri, why not in Tennessee?
In this way, as the Herald says we
cannot only get pure article, but
keep a large amount of money at
home. In addition to the reasons
given for raising tea in this state, the
seed have been used for the cure of
chills, and we know a druggist who
has sold them for a number of years
for this purpose. In these days Of
government protection to quinine
monopolists this is no small item.

The Reign of Terror in Russia.

Gen. Gh0urkO is said to have ex-
PEELED from St. Petersburg no fewer
than 10000 persons unprovided with
passports, and accordingly not entitled

pulsion has taken place at Odessa ana

Minister of the Interior, vagrants,
beggars, and people.without visible
means of subsistence, instead of being
sent to their native places as hitherto,
will henceforth be huddled off to ST.
IBERIA, or, as it has been called, Mill
aria. A few weeks ago, Count NicO-
lai KoskUol, who is connected with
the leading families in 81. Petersburg,
went on a journey to Germany, and
in the afternoon following his return
he left his house with the intention Of
visiting bis solicitor. Nothing has
been beard of him since, and all en-
deavors 10 trace his whereabouts have
provci fruitless. The Count was an
extremely wealthy young man, of reg
ular habits. The supposition is that he
has been kidnapped by the Nihilists
as hostage on behalf of the revolu-
tionists condemned to death at Kiey.
Koskool is near connection of
Ghourko. The Nihilists already have
one such hostage, Gen. Wahl, Gov
ernor of Kharkov, who was spirited
away the day after he assumed charge
of Krapotkin's duties. Recently the
Government received a letter from
him, saying that his captOrs were
about to hang him as a reprisal for
the execution of DubrOyin.

Out in Nevada a few days since the
train was stopped by crickets. They
got on the track in such numbers that
the driving wheels of the engine on
striking them would whirl around
without going forward an inch. The
train men had to get out and shovel
them off the track. This is equal to
grasshoppers, but it is hoped that they
will not prove so destructive to vege-
tation.

Judgment of the court was pronounced,
Judge Grover said: 81 am happy to
say, from the votes we have given,
that his hands are unstained by
bribery. Let it not be said hereafter
of Judge Barnard that for the purpose OF
private gain, for filthy lucre, he has consent
the further testimony in favor of Judge Bar
nard that in the trial of criminal cases We
have heard no complaint against his conduct;
that on the trial of important civil cases he
has fairly and uprightly discharged the du-
ties of just judge according to the best of
his ability. The errors into which he has
fallen are somewhat akin to some of the
nobler virtues"
Judge Peckham said: II agree to every
thing that has been said in favor of this re-
spondent by either of my brethren
1t was urged in Judge Barnard's behalf
on the trial that he granted the original in
junction that led to the downfall of the Tam
many Ring.
After his conviction the judge devoted
himself to the education of his children, and
led retired life. His wife keenly felt his
disgrace, and sat and wept by the hour over
her husbands fall. She went into a decline
and died in 1874 of sorrow. In
the presence of friends the judge
affected to bear his disgrace
very lightly, but those most intimate with
him knew that his misfortune was gradually
wearing away his life. He spoke of his
enemies in The most bitter terms. His
nights were sleepless, and he was careful to
conceal his extreme constituencies. A friend
met him soon after his removal from the
bench. He looked pale and detected. The
friend urged him to go to Lausanne OF
some other part of Switzerland and pass the
summer. 81 can't do it," the judge
replied. 81 can't bear to be pointed at as
the DISTINGUISHED judge from America. You
know l am the only judge of the supreme
court that was ever DISTINGUISHED"
Judge Barnard never entered the city hal
after his removal, and seldom, if ever, spoke
of the courts with which he had been iden
tilted. He took trips on pilot boats, and
hid himself from public gaze. He read all
the newspapers, and frequently saw articles
that produced great depression of spirits. :.

Prior to the discovery of this continent
by Columbus, says contemporary, there
was no cereal in America approaching in
nature the wheat plant. 1t was not un-
til 1880 that wheat found its way into
Mexico, and then only by chance. A
slave of Cortez found few grains of
wheat in a parcel OF rice and showed
them to his master, who ordered them
to be planted. The result showed that
wheat would thrive we'll on Mexican soil,
and to day one of the finest wheat valleys
in the world is near the Mexican capital.
From Mexico the cereal found its way
to Peru. Maria D. Escobar, wife of Don
Diego dc Chauves, carried few grains
to Lima, which were planted, the entire
product being used for several successive
crous. At Quito, in Euquador, monk
of the order OF st. Francis, by the name
of Fray Iodosi Rixi, introduced the new
cereal; and it is said that the jar which
contained the seeds planted is still pre-
served by The monks OF Quito. Wheat
was introduced into the present limits of
the United States, contemporaneously
with the settlement of our country by the
English and the Dutch.

JUDGE BARNARD.


Death of the Only Supreme Judge EVer
DisfrGncItiSed.
IN. Y. Sun, April %.
Ex-Judge George g. Barnard died at 5
o'clock yesterday morning in his home, at %
West Twenty first street. His aliment, under
which he has suffered for months, was
Bright's disease of the kidneys.
Judge Barnards decisions in the Erie
cases, right or wrong, loaded him with
obloquy. His personal intimacy with Fisk
and Gould cast suspicion upon him, and this
was not allayed by his orders and injunc-
tons in other important cases. He made
famous in this country the English man.
datory term injunction
In 1872, the judge was impeached, CON.
victed, and removed from Office. Nearly all
the charges on which his conviction was
based were for granting ex parte orders in
the fight of Fisk and Gould for the control
of the Erie railway. The law then allowed
judges to grant permanent injunctions
on application without q hearing
from the party enioined. Afterwa- ID,
the legislature passed law granting en-
joined parties ten days to show why an in
junction should not be made permanent, and
this is still the practice. It was shown be-
fore the court of impeachment at Saratoga,
that the Erie orders were granted on the APP
plication of eminent lawyers, and that the
Judge trusted to their integrity and ability,
instead of giving their papers a careful ex-
animation After the charges were pre-
ferred and the investigation begun, the
judges friends urged him to resign, on the
ground that the public feeling against the
Tammany ring gave him very poor chance
of acquittal. He absolutely declined, say

for which for three years this House has strug-

withstanding the reforms that we had secured
regarding these reforms of but little conse-
quence alongside the great principle that the
army of the United States in time of peace
should be under control of Congress and obe-
dient to it's laws. After long and protracted
negotiations the committee have conceded
the principle in all its length and breadth,
