THE FAILURE TO PASS THE
ARMY BILL.
MIR. HEwIrT's Address TO THE uoUsl

MIS- HEWITT . Address 10 THE HOUsE.
Mr.. Hewitt, (Dein.) of New York, at
twenty minutes Of two, reported that the
Conference Committee on the Army Ap-
preparation bill had not been able to
agree.
MIR. Hewitt (on the suggestion of Re-
publicans) made statement as to the
matters III controversy. He stated that
an agreement could be reached on all of
them except as to the presence of troops
at the polls. That issue has been fairly
presented. On one side the House con-
ferees insisted that the time had come
when it should no longer be lawful for a
soldier to be at polling place. On the
other side 1t was insisted with equal force
that the provisions of the statutes should
be maintained, and that the power should
remain in the executive to order troops to
the polls on the day of election, il In his
judgment 1t was necessary 10 preserve the
peace. That presented the very essence
involved in the principle of free govern
ment. That principle had been inheri-
ted by the American people. No Eng
lish speaking man, for 2U0 years, had
questioned the fact that soldiers should
never be present at the polls. The Ques-
ton never would have been raised in
this country but for the unhappy calami-
ty. For fifteen years the American peo-
pie had been striving to recover lost
ground. 1t had made gigantic sacrifices
TO get back to resumption OF specie pay
ment, but nothing had been done for re-
sumption Of political rights-those rights
that lie at the very foundation of the
government. 1t was shame that re-
sumption of specie payments should have
preceded resump ion of these rights. 1t
was an imputation on a liberty loving
people that it had allowed the time to
pass by till now without resuming these
rights.
ISSUE sQUARRLY RAISED.
Now that the issue had been raised
could they surrender on the question
Would they be justified in concedng the
the principle lin time OF profound peace)
that soldiers should DO ordered by the
Executive to the polls? Ono, mop from
the members oftne House, was most anx-
ious that there should be an extra session.
The individual interests of the country
wanted Congress to 60 in peace but there
weIs things greater than money, greater
than profit, without which money disap-
pearsd and profits were illusory things,
tor which men had sacrificed foitune
and family and life in every age of the
world-that the greatest of those things
was the right Of sslf-government. The
question In the bill was the very essence
Of that struggle which had lasted since
governments were founded. The recov
cry Of those rights was almost as difficult
rs their establishment. II, when the OPP
portunity came, 1t was once passed BY,
the opportunity would never come sec
ond time. If this provision should re-
main on the statute book, and If an un-
i scr'ipulous Executive should be placed in
the Presidential charge (with power 10

Since our last writing our veneer
able friend Harden Greasy has
passed from the shores of mOrtali-
". His disease was complicated
and protracted death was expected
Tor months. Harden Greasy was a
gentleman and a christian, and will
be missed by his church and neigh
bors.
The last coolpess of the weather
has checked vegetation considera
oily, and made farmers little tardy
in their crop planting, as they re
gard the weather more than the
moon. Old wheat and corn are said
to be scarcer in this section than il
has been for maLy years previous.
We discover Milltown is still dis
posed to criticise and poke his fun
at Us. He seems to think that "Old
Smasher'' was eatechised in his
younger days by Uncle Lisha Carr
and Uncle Billy Worsham This he
does not deny, and he would rec
ommend MillLowu to do likewise;
such instruction as Uncle Lisha
Carr impaired will Keep him from
being a perverter; and Uncle Billy
Worsham will Reep him from being
an ignoramus. We are regarded by
the Midtown critic as a very good
old man. Glad To know that some
still pronounce us good. We do
not claim to be smart or extra good,
but we claim not TO be an ignora
mug or pefverter. We win not
charge Milltown with being either
ignoTamus or perverter, but will
merely ask him TO look up the Jan
uary CITIZEN containing what is
said Of Rev w. J b., then look
over his criticism upon it. Upon
examinations we find the word Bach

an error in the printer. Had II not

sadness and sorrow of heart for the
distressed relatives that we have to
chronicle the death of Mrs. Will

hanson, a time-honored citizen of
Big Creek. After long and pain
fuI Illness she babe farewell to the
beloved family circle. For 30 years
she has been the guiding star of an
affectionate husband and family
of dutiful children. At an early
age she gave her heart to God and
dedicated herself t. his service in
the C.. p. Church, of which she was
an ornament. Her devotion was
not the fittul ebullition of tran
sient excitement but the steady
lamp of the light house that stands
out on the dark and stormy coast
of life to guide the voyager to the
portals of eternal light. The tri-
umph of faith and the assurance of
hope were truly comforting to the
bereaved who felt it so hard to give
up one so dear. She was fondly
attached to her family circle. but
with calm resignation she patiently
waited to join the GEAR ones that
had gone before. No one who
knew her and visited her in her last
illness could keep from being i'm
pressed with the value of expert
mental piety in early life For

ATTEMPTED Rape.

Jas. f. McMillion, a white man
aged about 81 years and who lives
somewhere about Samuels' Mill, was
arrested on the square Monday
evening on the charge of having at
tempted the rape of little colored
girl aged about IL years that even
ing, near Hicks Bluff, a mile south
of town. He was tried before Esq.
Alexander and committed on $500
bail bond yesterday morning, when
the following facts were elected:
He met the child going down the
railroad and made proposals to her
and she did not know what he meant.
He then told her to get upon the
fence and he would show her.
When she got up he seized her and
dragged her over in some briars,
choking her to prevent her cries,
while he made the dirty attempt.
He was scared off in some way,
however, it is thought, for an ex
animation proved that he did not
succeed, and it is thought that her
cries attracted the attention of some
men coming up the road. He i'm
mediately released her and she at
once told these men what had &C.
Cured, and one of. them followed
him and pointed him out to Officer
Porter, who arrested him. He was
sent to Jail Monday night. There
was considerable anger manifested
among colored people and it was
feared they would attempt to lynch
him, to prevent which, the Sheriff
summoned several men to guard the
Jail. No effort was made, however.
The feeling is universal among the
whites that he should be punished
to the fullest extent, if guilty, but
this feeling is more of disgust at
the low, dirty act than at the enor-
nifty of the injury inflicted. There
is a remote possibility as claimed
by him that she may have consented
To the act and then in fright told it
as rape 1t will be rather hard to
convict him upon her unsupported
testimony, and the above version
of the affair is substantially as re-
lated by her upon the witness stand.
He claims that she was willing.

Some one reports the crop pros
poets in Giles to the Banner as fol-
lows:
Only about half the acreage Of
wheat as compared with last veSr-
and is looking rem 4rkahly weli-in
most places. Some farmers tell me
thai their wheat looking as wei
as any wheat they ever saw at this
season OF the year. The acreage
Of cotton in Giles this year will be
larger than in any year OF her his
tory In fact, farmers who will IT
plant cotton this year are rare.
We have some peaches left. Most
ly are young trees-many.of the old
trees being killed dead to the roots
by the past severe winter.
Apples will be plenty unless
killed alter this, but we fear they
will 60 to night.
Pears are plenty at this time, but
may bear the same fate of apples il
there is frost to night.
Plans nearly all killed is the in
formation l gather; but we can bear
their loss better than any other
fruit we grow in this region.
