Was Il Foul Play ar an Accident

Mat. Cummings OF McdO, brought n
load Of live hogs 10 market Thursday
and sold them. and in the afternoon he
started for home. About half way be-
tween here and Dickinson mills he
was found by DR.. McMahan, of this
city, lying on the top Of his wagon,
with his head crushed in. lie was still
alive though unconscious. His team
was moving along quietly with the reins
dragging. The Doctor called DR.. J. III.
Davis, who was also returning to town
and happened 10 he in sight, and they
tried 10 bring him too. While doing so
an emigrant wagon passed and one of
the occupants said, That man got 3
pretty bad fall from his wagon back
there and then went on. Now how
did he know that How did Cum.
mings team come TO be SO far ahead of
him; they did not run away, in fact,
were walking very slowly when dis
covered. Cummings was taken to n
house near by and when he came too,
the first thing he said was "A man hit
me-" He was not robbed rs he sold
his hogs for $23 and sci was found in
his pocket. 1t is quite strange case.

DIphtheria ut Minneapolis.

A gentleman from Minneapolis was
telling us last week, that diphtheria
had proven an aggravated and DISTRICT
i've disease at that point this season, and
that in some particular localities near
the fair grounds, people were dying at
rate heretofore unprecedented. He
mentioned one family with thirteen
children, who buried ten Of their little
ones inside of three weeks. Ono day
they buried two at once, and when they
returned home from the cemetary found
another dead. This gentleman and
wife strollcd through the cemetary one
Sunday lately, and says they were hor-
riiied ut the innumcrable little graves
that dotted the surface, all freshly made.

roads, under the pretence of regulat-
ing Interstate Commerce. As well
might it be contended that it may
regulate the purchases or sales Of
merchants or drovers when they buy
in our State and transport and sell in
any other. That cases may arise
where persons or corporations en-
gage in carrying commerce from
State to State, should attempt to UNI
justly discriminate against one or
more States in favor of others, that
Congress or the Federal Judiciary
might interfere to prevent or remedy
wrong. we need not here deny; but
that the case assumed by the Judge
in his letter is one of that kind, we
deny. We ask our readers careful
attention to that letter, when we be-
lieve they, as well as we, will see its
dangerous hcresies. We fear that
Judge Black has lent himself to an
idea, like Judge Douglass did in 1860
to squatter sovereignty in the terrific
ries, and may we hope not with like
results to himself or the country.
While we know there is deep; seat
ed feeling of hostility by portion of
the American people to Railroads, and
what they call monopolies generally.
Yet we know that away down deep in
the American heart there is a sense
and a sentiment of justice and right,
that we believe will, as it should, tri-
umph over bias or wrong to any.
They know the country cannot do
without Railroads, and that to get
and retain them, we must be just to
them and their rights, as we are to
all others. Authority is not wanting
by decisions of the Federal and
State Courts, to show that the
Legislature of the State may in her
charter to q Railroad Company, pre-
scribe terms and regulations as to
tolls, to he charged thereon, and may
specially reserve therein power so to
do; but that in the absence Of
all this may, for the public good, af-
forwards prescribe such terms or reg
ulations. But we challenge the pro-
duction of any respectable authority
(outside of Judge Black to sustain
the proposition that Railroads are the
property of, or belong to the State;
or that in case of forfeiture or sur
render of such franchise, the State
may take charge of the road and run
it: or that Congress or the Federal
Government may do so, unless when
impressed in time of war, like as any
other private property might be.

ZONE w HNO KNOWS"

MR. EDITOR We ask permission,
through the New DOMINION to answer
that false and libelous communica-
ton of the last weeks spouter, over
the anonymous name of Justice"
and which should have been "Injus-
tice," for it is unjust, false, mean and
cowardly, and the writer knew at the
time he wrote it that it was so. And
permit us to say to Justice that he
is fully as well known by his writing
as he would have been by his real
name, or as an ass is by his ears.
That a man occupying his position,
or worthy of the name man, should
have so little regard for truth or JUS
tice, is to be regretted ;but it must be
manifest, to all candid readers that
Justice" has an axe to grind in the
premises, and that he deems that the
fit way TODD it, and to hide his own
delinquencies by making an attack on
the Executive Committee of the Uni
versity, for doing as the law and their
oaths require them to do, according
to their unbiased opinion.
That Committee have no interest
or desire to act otherwise in the prem

charge their duty to the University.
to it's Professors or Faculty, and to
the State; and this they will contin-
ne to do, Notwithstanding the con-
temptible ard false statements, insin-
uations and charges of "Justice" or
others of his kind.
Now what were and are the naked
facts of the case, alluded to by this
morbid scribbler, "Justice." 1t is
known to all that we have quite a
number of salaried Professors at our
University, with salaries ranging from
$4,000 to $1400, for less than 10
months work; and that they are EN-
ployed by the Board of Regents of
the University, and that the Execu-
tive Committee is appointed by that
Board, clothed by it with certain spec
flied powers and duties, prime among
which is the duty to examine, audit,
allow and draw orders for payment
of all proper accounts against the
University, including monthly charges
or portions of the Professors salaries.
1t is made the duty of the Committee
to inquire into and see that all claims
presented are right and just; if not
right, to reject them. or correct them
according to the way right.
At the November meeting of the
Committee, Professor White, with all
other of said Professors, presented
his account for salary for the month
of October, when it came to the knowl-
edge of the Committee that the said
White had been voluntarily absent
from his duty at the University for
several weeks, and thereupon his claim
was referred to a special Committee
to inquire into the facts of the case
and to report to the Executive Com
mittee at it's next or December meet
ing, whether or not said claim ought
to be paid in whole or in part.
That Special Committee of three
met and heard and examined into
the facts of the case, having Profess
or White before them, who admitted
that he had been Voluntarily absent
from said University and it's duties
for three weeks and one day next af
ter the commencement of the scholas
tic year, engaged in completing a &c
