a Lecture On Eeads that Has Ne Head
esjor Newson Assin.
Prof. o. s. Fowler delivered his second lee
ture to an audience of about 200 in Sherman
hall last night There were some points in the
example the necessity of due pro.
portion-even balance-in the physical
and mental structure to perfec-
ton in the human being; the
ACCESSIBILITY of mothers super
vising the care and education of their
children; that the tendency of weak or dis
sased organs in the system is TO drag the others
down to their level. These and few other
propositions of similar character are not
likely to be questioned by thinking people in
this age, but 1t is not clear that q knowledge
of phrenology is necessary to the
ascertaining or compromising OF them.
On the contrary II is possible for one who
knows naught of the science to atrvs a. these
truths, by observation, experience and right
fea.on.
Eliminating from the professors lecture his
remarks upon physical culture as necessary 10
mental strength, the remainder was stale fat

esting matter in Il, and great deal OF o. s.

he sta ed that the major had published Whist
he said of him two years ego, and in compar-
ing what he then said, and what he said on
Tuesday evening, he found the statements
Identical. The professor, however. forgot to
say, that IN 1878, he stated that Major Newson
was respected and esteemed in the community,
and that on Tuesday evening he said hs had
many enemies. In 1878 he ssid Newson ought
to be at the head of benevolent institution;
in 1880 he said that he ought TO be
at the head of Z statistical bureau;
in 1878 he said he wss cautious; in 1880 he
RI shed impetuouEly ahead, etc., etc. He gave
rs an excuse why he would not lat the major
speak, after he assured him that he could, that
he was afraid of his tongue.

presses opinion that the work of selecting new

in seyeralty, work which must neces-
sarily be accomplished before the Indians can
be remGved, will probably not be commenced,
owing to the lateness of the season, until

WASHINGTON, D. O., September so, 1880.


DEAR SIR: The letter of General Hancock in
regard to the payment OF claims leaves no
doubt in the minds of those who know him
that he Will sternly carry out his views as
therein announced, and that he will promptly
veto" any and all acts looking to such compen-
sation as may hereafter be asked for loss in
CURED by citizens of the States in the rebell-
ion by the army of the United States and also
that he will urge upon Congress the repeal of
any and all laws now in force making it posi-
Ole Tor claimants to procure pay ga loyal citi-
Gems. From many OF the Southern States,
and by great many prominent Democratic
members of Congress from the South, have
come expressions coinciding with and fully
agreeing to the views expressed by General
Hancock.
he position occupied by Gen. Garfield up
on the subject OF the payment of claims is,
aud has been, much more favorable 10 claim
anita than shat assumed by Gen. Hancock in
his letter. You are cited to the fact that Gen.
Garfield was chairman OF the committee on ap-
Preparations when the present Vice President.
bon. VIM A. Wheeler, reported and had placed
upon the army appropriation bill the Act Of 9TH
July, under which you and your clients have
received large awards, and that this measure
received the ardent support of Gen. Garfield in
speech upon tie subject. Also, that Gen.
Garneld strongly urged the extern
sion OF the time Of the
Southern claims commission upon both occa-
slons when said extension was made It is
extremely doubtful If the last extension of
such time would have been made at all, had it
not been for the strong appeal made to the
house by him, as you will see by referring to
the Record when the bill came up for consider
alton. Southern claimants, under the opera
ton of the lazy creating the commission, az
you are aware, were paid nearly S., 600. 600.
ls is consiierea, N the opinion of the best
posted and thoroughly conversant ATTORNEYS
here in Washington, that the interests of both
claimants and attorneys will be better pro.
NOTED by the election of Garfield than that of
Hancock. and thus continue the Republican
party in power, as the Republicans have ever
been more favorable to the payment of all
classes OF claims than the Democrats. Wit

John #. Beard, Foreman of Gar Inspect
ors for the Omaha Line, Has His Left
Leg Crushed Under q Car and IL PrOba-
bly, Fatally Injured.
A shocking, and what may yet prove fatal
accident, happened to Mr.. ]. T. Beard, long
trusted and faithful employe of the Sioux
City railroad, in the yards of that company,
about 80 p. NJ yesterday, the particulars, as
near as diligent inquiry could procure them,
being as follows Mir. Beard ia master OF car
repairs for the company, and at the time
named was on the trestle work, about 100 yards
above elevator A.. examining car which had
u defective drawhead. He had got down to
measure some bolts under the Car. and was in
position which brought his left leg across the rail
and IN front of tbs truck. While thus engaged
come cars were being switched over upon the
same track unperceived by him These cars
came down against the one under which AFR.
Beard was working with such force as to force
one wheel of the truck over his left leg near
the body, badly crushing the bones, and LAGER
sting the flesh to a considerable extent. Some
of the other workmen near by who saw the &C
cident ran TO his aid, and friendly hands bore
him to the small building at the lower end of
the company's freight house, where he was
soon attended by Drs. Murphy. Hand and
Davenport, who found his condition very ser-
iuus, the nervous system having sustained an
unusually severe and prostrating shock.
The medical gentlemen earnestly advised and
urged his removal to st. Joseph's hospital but
the sufferer, with great persistence, refused TO
entertain the idea for en- instant. his indepen-
dent nature revolving at even the semblance of
throwing himself as burden upon the charity
OF others. He seemed impressed with the be-
lief that he had received mis- death hurt, and
protested fervently that he did not want it
said in the papers that he had died in the hos
pital, Shortly after the GLOBE reporter ar
rived upon the scene Mr. j. F. Lincoln arrived,
and in a calm but earnest way reasoned the
wounded man out of his horror of the hospital,
and he was removed thither as carefully and
speedily as was consistent with his sgonized
aid precsrious condition. What the
result will be cannot be known
until some time to-day. His
robust health aud powerful phy sique may carry
him through, but as he ia past fifty years OF
age, that facto" in the problem is to be consid-
cred
DIR. Beard is Mason of high standing, high
ly respected by all who know him, aud valued
by the company which he has served with rare
fidelity and judgment for somewhere shout
thirteen years.

No better proof of the correctness of Gen.
Hanoock's position could be given than the
figures presented. 1t has long been notori-
GUS that the bsyenet was the instrument
used for collecting the votes cast for Gen.
Grant in 1872. The fact il proved by the
returns, which show an almost unanimou Gus
vote for him at that election. In 1876, after
the bayonss had been abolished
from the politics of tho
South, people voted as the chose, and the
result was seen In the almost total abandon
ment of the Republican party and the cast
ing OF practically unanimous vote for the
Democratic candidates. It will b. observed
that the total vote cass in 1876 exceeds tina.
of 1879 in bat few Of the counties named,
and in none of them is the increase moro
than would naturally result from the dsvel-
opment of the country and the access of
population. The figures prove, therefore,
that while in 1879 the bsyonet was employed
successfully in the cause of the Republican
candidate, the people returned to their al
leglance to the Democracy four years later,
when the army was removed from the local.

free ballot and a fair count will bs had
this year. and as consequence the Demo-
cratic candidates for President and Vice
President will be elected. 1t is useless
for the Republicans to attempt to interfere
to prevent the contamination. The die is
already cast. Indiana will speak next Tues
day in thunder tones in favor of a change in
the federal government-in favor of reform
in every branch of the administration. Ohio
will also be heard from, and il will be found
that she hss not abandoned the Democratic
party entirely, but will show reduction of
the Republican majority Of year ago, with
a promise Of still better results in November
A free ballot and an honest count will give
the Democratic party all the advantage it
needs. It will require nothing further in
order to secure control of the federal gov
eminent, of majority in both houses of
Congress and of majority of the State ad-
ministrations, both North and South. The
party is the party Of the people. and if left
to follow their own inclinatlons, the people
will vote to sustain that party and reinstate
it in its lawful inheritance

TEE interview published Is having take

TIE interview published as having taken
place between Gen. Grant and Rev. Dr. O.
q. Fowler relative to Gen. Hancock does
great discredit to both Of thess individuals.
It ia not at all probable that Gen. Grant will
admit the correctness of the language impu-
ted to him, for if he did, that admission
would convict him of laok of fidelity to his
trust as the commander in chief Of the army
in appointing man to responsible posi-
ton whom he considered unworthy, az we'll
as of lack of knowledge of human nature.
As for Mr.. Fowler, he has long been notori-
GUS as being meddler in matters that do
not concern him in the least. His unsup
ported word is of no value or weight what
ever. he hes been one of the most pestifer-
GUS of demagogical priests that the country
has ever produced, utterly INSCRIPTIONS and
untruthful in matters that concerned the
Republican party. The Rev. DR.. (?) Fowler
ia disgrace to Methodism and blotch upon
manhood. If Gen. Grant trusted him he
showed less wisdom than usually character
ICES him. Fowler is one of the most blatant
and disreputabls of religious politicians,
who would not scruple to SANDER his mother
if thereby he could attain an advantage for
the party that disgraces itself by hardening
him.
