The Cincinnati Commercial re-
Gently published list that occupied
several columns in that paper of
pieces of property in indianapolis,
on which Mr.. English had loaned
money and was forced to ~foreclose
mortgages and take the property, as
no one else would buy the property
and pay the amount loaned. The
Commercial made q great blow over
.t and undertook to leave the impress
sion that Mr.. English had speculated
by purchasing property at tax sales.
This story is squelched by two Re-
publican gentlemen of Indianapolis
who voluntarily come forward and
publish the following card:
ITO THE PUBLIC.
SIN reference to the publication
recently made in the Cincinnati
Commercial in relation to purchases
of property at tax sales in Marion
county, Indiana, in the name ofWm.
H. English, we know that said pub.
LEGATION is unjust to Mr.. English.
We were the agents that made all
these purchases, and they are all
cases where Mr.. English owned OIL
had an interest in the property, and
bought solely for the purpose Of
saving himself from penalty, and moi
for purposes of speculation. VIZ
had expressed instructions from Mr.
English not to bid off any property
on speculation. We are both Re
publicans, and make this statement
tpurely as a matter of justice.

It's human nature to grumble about
the weather, but this time human nature
has something to grumble about. We've
had rain for forty days, and it looks
likely that we'll have it forty days
longer. Not showers either, but heavy
soaking rains that come down with the
rapidity Of April showers, and hang on
with the yigor and tenacity Of Decem-
Der storms. We're tired of water, water
every where. Crops in the grass, gar
dens washed away and the wind shift
ing to every point of the compass. One
minute parboiled by the heat, the next
with a nice little north wind playing
the mischief in ones rheumatic bones.
What's the matter with July9 Is it
jupiter or the moon or just the innate
"cussedness OF the season that's put

Every heart must be full of sympathy

Every heart must be full of sympathy
for the parents of tho unfortunate little
Johnnie Cain, who after a long and
hopeless search, was found drowned
in vault on the premises. The
despair of the father, who fell into
strong commissions at the first view of
the disfgured body, and the anguish of
the mother, who had hoped against
hope, that her darling was alive, add to
the horrors Of this tragic episode of
New Orleans casualties. we are al
ways hearing Of these things, but it
does not lessen our sympathy for the
sufferers and this case had some pccu-
liar features OF its own. The mortality
amongst the children this year by dis
ease and accidents has been unprece-
dented.

APPLICATION FOR RE-HEARING.
BY JUSTICE LEVY.


Ona careful consideration Of the application
for d. re-hearing and after examination of
further authorities applicable to the case, l am
of the opinion that it was competent for the
District Court, on the trial of this contested
election suit, to receive testimony going to
show and establish the fact that the two papers
and purporting together to constitute
the returns of the Leonville box, did constitute
the proper returns, and that for the purpose
of showing this fact, extrinsic evidence could
be received. I think that the irregularities as
to the returns are not fatal and do not justify
the exclusion OF the votes cast i'll that box,
but that it was competent to resort to a count
of the ballots which had been deposited in the
box, for the purpose of aseertaining the true
voice of the voters, as exsrcssed by the ballots
themselves. While the law points out certain
forInalitics to be observed as to the returns of
commissioners, q failure to comply with its
directions docs not per sc yitiate the election,
| and ii there are means by which the true vote
| can be aseertained, such means must be res

DIR. Tanners experiment of forty
days fast has SO far proved wonderful
success. On the goth, the 23d day of
his fast, he weighed 132 pounds, his
pulse was at 72 and his normal condition
unchanged. He had his nerves upset
by witnessing runaway accident in
Central Park, and as a freedom from
excitement is a sine qua non for the
success of the experiment, there is a
fear he may be injured by it. The
genuineness of this fast seems now to
be almost established in the most doubt
full minds. The watch kept over him
is too strict and constant, to admit OF
any surreptitious nourishment reaching
him. Water, Of which he drinks freely,
will sustain life long time and DR..
ChaillG of the Louisiana Medical Uni
versity, whilst doubling DR.. Tanners
total abstinence from all food, still
allows that any one can fast until his
superhous supply of fat is burned up,
and as DR.. Tanner was blessed with a
good deal of that article, he may accom-
plish his forty days after all. DR..
Chaill6 also adds that in n fast Of that
kind life is not endangered until the OK
idation begins to destroy muscles and
nerves on which depend respiration
and circulation. Therefore q fat man
or woman can endure starvation better
than lean ones, and thus literally feed
upon themselves. Men have been taken
alive from coal mines and avalanches
Of snow after "a days of starvation.
Under the same conditions human
beings have lived for fifty three days
without food. We hear of one anthem
tic case where life was prolonged for
sixty-one days with little broth given
once during that period.
We are indebted to DR.. Chaille for
this array Of evidence, and it strikes US
as contradicting his own testimony
when he casts doubtupon DR.. Tanners
fair dealing. What has happened once
under certain conditions, can be repeat
ed ad iRJiaittlB, granting the conditions
arc alike or sufficiently alike. In all
there was either compulsory or willing
inaction no expenditure Of vital force,
and . plentiful supply of water. There
is great outcry from unscientifc peo-
pie upon the uselessness of this fasting
experiment, but we do not agree with
that opinion, on even general and pop
ular grounds. 1t is interesting to see
who tho vital forces can be economical
and how quiet nerves and a placid state
of mind can sustain and prolong life.
1t shows us that every indulgence in
passion or violent excitement make
fatal attacks upon the very citadel OF
life.
DR.. Tanner is preaching us a more ell
oquent sermon than most pulpits and
lecture rooms. We Americans are the
most excitable race under the sun, not
even excepting the French. They are
emotional and excitahle if you will, bn,
is is merely surface excitement, ripples
on the surface which passs off as rapidly
as they were produced. But with us
the spirit of unrest bites even to the
bone and enters into ourcirculation an6
respiration. Wedon'tkno what peace
and rest are, until tho turf is pilet
over our heads, and SO the days of oul
lives are few and short in comparison
with the general longevity Of othe
pations.

The Bloody Regulators.

Wednesday night a party Ct I'M
known men fred into cotton seed
store, kept by Israel Smith. a negro,
about five miles south of Colfax. At
the time there was another man aud
boy about Is years old sleeping in
the house with Smith. The boy was
shot and killed instantly, the others
escaping unhurt. From there the
party went to another seed-store, the
property Of Messrs. Z, z. TORY and
s. Nj. Lacroix, of Colfax, in which
W. B. Hopkins was sleeping. aud
riddled it with bullets, fortunately
not hurting the occupant, but giving
him a terrible scare. All those con-
nected with the latter place were
white men.
While the cotton-seed business is
most nefarious, still it does not war
rant any such murderous work, and
those who engaged in this midnight
assassination should be hunted down
by the strong arm of the law. 1t is
thought the marauding party had no
intention of taking hfe, bat tins is
no excuse for such vandalism. The
case is aggravated. No warning had
been given Under the circumstan-
ces, it would have been most harsh
to call ont the victim and burn bis
house, allowing him to so with bis
life, bat to come unawares and shoot
o man in the dark is horrible. This
act certainly Tnust have4been commit
ted by Irresponsible parties, for nj
sane man, with the interest of tbs
country at heart, aud the good o
himself and neighbors in view, could
have been led into committing snct
an attrocious barbarian.

An unfortunate and shameful affair
occurred in Colfax Wednesday morn
ing, between two cousins. Nick Nc
Neely and James Canadian, aged
respectively Is and 20. They had
engaged in game of cards the
night before, in which there arose
dispute about money. They went to
breakfast together at the Canadian
house, where the pickering was re-
newed, and one of them proposed to
fight it out then and there. The ban
ter was accepted, and at it they went
altogether needless of the presence
of mother, sisters or cousins, who
had to witness their outrageous con
duct. 1t seems that Canadian had a
small penknife in his hand at the
time, and as McNeely was somewhat
the stoutest and was getting in some
pretty heavy blows, he proceeded TO
use the knife on him, breaking the
blade half in two the first stroke by
catching it in his clothes, bat bext
time inficting an ugly wound on the
side of McNeely's face and neck. 1t
was fortunate the knife broke, as the
second cut would probably have re-
suited fatally. As it is, the victim OF
this hot-beaded folly has had to lie in
bed Q few days, and will carry an
uglyscar for life. Young Carnahan
was arrested on an affidavit made by
District Attorney Hunter. charging
him with attempting to commit man
slaughter by an assault with dan
gerous weapon. He waived prelimi-
nary examination, and Judge Barbin
fixed his bond for appearance at Dis
trict Court at $3.50.
