T~ecumSeh's Powder Horn.

We We're yesterday shown by Capt.
Thomas u. feathers a "Reminiscences Of
the past in the shape of a powder horn
which was taken from the body of the
celebrated Indian Chief TecumSeh by
the father of Capt. feathers after he
was killed. The recollection of Capt.
LeatherS'S father was that when the
body of TecumSeh was found. il was
pierced with about a dozen bullet
wounds. several of which would have
certainly proved fatal. The question of
Who killed TecumSeh?" is one there
fore which can never be settled. The
powder horn taken from his person bore
evidence of considerable ingenuity on
the part of the person who made il, and
would in these practical days have enti-
tied Its maker TO 4 patent. The mouth
piece of the horn was 50 arranged as t.
screw on and off, and when taken off
could be used As a funnel by which the
horn could be conveniently filled with
powder. In connection with this in
geniouS contrivance. Capt. feathers
mentioned the fact that bre~ech-loading
guns were used in that Indian war.
This is true. and the origin of the breech-
loader isprobably due to the suggestions
of Gen. Andrew Jackson. who desired
their construction for the purpose Of
the frontier Indian-fighter an op-
portunity of loading his gun while lying
behind the logs of the forest, without
exposing his person to the ever-watch-
full savage foe. Some of our older citi-
will remember these breech-load-
ing guns, which were called the Hall
rifle. We remember some of these Hall
guns, which were unearthed from some |
quarter at the beginning of the war of
secession. but in the face of the great 1

had sometimes expressed annoyance at
the cold dinners which were sc; before

The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1879-12-29

In the course of long article on the
counting out business in this State the
Nation says:
To characterize adequately the performances
of the Democratic Governor and Council in
Maine in exercising the functions OF a returning
board would require very strong language. The
whole defense they nlake-that the law obliges
them to exact rigid conformity to certain rules
in examining the election returns--lS demoi-
ished by two facts. One is that the errors and
omissions which they have discovered and used
occur only in towns and districts in which the
Republicans have a majority, and it passes
belief that none should have been discovered
or discoverable in towns and districts i'll which
the Democrats had majority. The other is
that law of 1877 permits the Governor and
Council, when canvaSSing the returns, to cor
rect such errors and omissions by comparison
with the record, and they refuse to avail them
selves OF this permission on the ground that
the law is unconstitutional. But it is well
settled and necessary principle Of American
jurisprudence that every law is to be deemed
constitutional until a competent tribunal de-
cides otherwise and on this point the Govern
or and Council refuse to take the opinion OF
the court, thus raising presumption OF bad
faith of the strongest kind They have no
more right to declare a law unconstitutional
than any other man in the State; and if they
can refuse to avail themselves of permissive
act on this ground, they can refuse to obey
mandatory one. In short, there is a high de-
gree of probability that they have been guilty
of fraud in examining the returns, and there is
absolute certainty that they have been guilty
of gross abuse of discretion in their manner
of correcting them, The indignation their
performance eXciteS in Maine and throughout
the country is not surprising, and it is by no
means confined to Republicans. The affair is
calling forth also hearty denunciation in lead
ing Democratic papers. We do not need to
point out the effect it is likely to have on DEM
ocratic fortunes aeXt year.
