day entered an ofics on Griswold street

and ID won't make any difference whether
you ever get to Cleveland or not. II

The man backed out without another
word, and entering the Office next door
he walked up to the occupant with the
remark: my name 10 Caesar. and am
closely related to julius aud Augustus.

get 70 Toledo"

The man vent out. and be determined
to tell the truth aud nothing but the

NATURE.
Om Course With China-Edmund's Idea
Irsland's Christmas-Tennessee's
Senator The Ponca Chiefs
at Washington.
NEWS BOTH FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC

Mr.. Triscott, one Of the American
commissioners sent to China to negoti-
ate new treaty with that Government,
is expected to arrive in this country
within few days. 1t is said that large
commercial advantages are announced
to the United States by the new treaty.
The method oi counting the electoral
vote still troubles them at Washington.
The Democrats have very simple
method OF attending to ths matter, but
the Republicans refuse to listen to any
thing. Edmunds' idea is to have the
Vice President take charge OF the affair
and count the votes, whether the two
Houses are present or not, but this does
not suit the opposition.
Dispatches from Ireland state that
Christmas was a very sad day there.
Depression in the spirits OF the people
and also in business, on account OF the
disturbed condition OF the country, is
very noticeable.
The Ponca chiefs held another inter-
view with Secretary schurz at the In
terror Department yesterday. They ap-
peared very anxious to have their
schools under headway as soon as pos
sible. They signed paper stating their
desire to remain in the Indian Territory.
They ask Congress to appropriate sl4S,-
600 in compensation for depredations
committed upon them in 1877.

word that be says on the matter de-
serves careful attention:
."The Constitution Of the United
States says when these great public
documents from the States, presumed
to be formal and right, have been open.
ed, they shall be enumerated, footed up,
that the man who has the greatest mum.
Der OF votes shall be the President.
And wish to add that l think he will
be on this occasion, whether the House
agrees TO the unconstitutional and 9TH
erwise injurious proposition that the
Senate passed at its last session or not,
whether the House OF Representatives
agrees with the Senate to meet here or
elsewhere, il there be any constitutional
power to compel the President Of the
Senate to 60 elsewhere TO open the
votes (about which l say nothing now
OF not"
The menace is significant as laying
the foundation for the Presidential elec.
ton OF 1884. Mr.. Edmunds boldly de-
clares that certificates OF electors, "pre.
sumed to be formal and right" will be
counted whether the two Houses are
present or not, and without any law or
rule to regulate the count. And he
serves notice distinctly that Q precedent
will be established now by which this
daring innovation may be carried out.
In other words, it is proclaimed that
every certificate sent up by State will
be "presumed to be formal and righ.,"
though notoriously fraudulent and
forged like that of Louisiana in 1875,
and will be counted without regard to
consequences. The Imperialists seem
to be marching on with a quick step.

FOUNDERS Of Justice, so they hied them
selves to his house in order to measure
out justice to the offender in their own
peculiar way. Having heard Of their in

met them at the door. He opened fire
upon them at once, and succeeded in
killing one of the gang. They set fire TO
his house, captured him and with a
sharp instrument clipped Off his ears
very near the head. One OF the offend
ers has been arrested.
Jacob Gogel and wife were found dead

Senatorial Prospects in Tennesses-New

WASHINGTON, December 27.-Ex-Gov-
ernor Brown, Of Tennessee, is stopping
at Wizards. The Governors name has
been mentioned prominently in con-
nec,ion with the Senatorial vacancy
which will occur before the expiration
of Mr.. Baileys term. His attention was
called to the fact yesterday. He said:
"My name has not been mentioned rs q
candidate for Senator from Tennessee
with nv consent. am not candidate
in any sense OF the word" 49,.
"Do you think the Republicans Will
succeed in electing a successor 10 Mr..
Bailey" asked the reporter.
81 do not" was the reply. IL don't
believe there Is there is the slightest
chance for the election Of Republican
Senate. from Tennessee; not the slight
est. All this talk about a combination
being effected between one wing of the
Democratic party and the Republicans
y, in nv opinion, utterly without
foundation"

His friends have known for some time
that there was no hope OF his recovery,
but the intelligence OF his death will
nevertheless be received with regret:

OUR RED MEN.

They Attack Man and Wifs-One OF
the Regulators KilIed-Dsvis Loses HIS
Esrs.Arrests-Mai Carrier Flogged
PARxERsBUEG, December T.-The
Red Men, or Vigilantes, are still keep
ing certain neighborhoods in adjacent
counties lively.
A report, from all appearances we'll
founded, gives il that . few nights since
a man who had been a mail carrier,
having made himself obnoxious to the
seli.imposed regulators of morals, was
taken out Of house in Ritchie county
and severely whipped.
Following this comes an additional
account from Calhoun, giving an ac-
count of q more serious outrage.
Ii seems that a man named Davis,
who lived on spring Creek, Roane coun
tv, mad done something which gave
otfense 10 the regulating gentry, and a
few nights since the Regulators made a
raid on his house for the purpose oil
measuring ont justice in their peculiar
way. Ii would appear, however, that
Davis had been apprlsed OF their inten-
ton, and was on the lookout for them,
for when the band came up TO the front
OF the house they were confronted by
Davis and his wife standing in the
doorway, who warned them of. Not
needing this, the band still approached.
Davis and his wife then opened fire on
the marauders, and their leader, Strouse,
fell 10 the earth a corpse. The other
shot did not prove SD etlectual. but one
of the gang now carrlesan empty sleeve,
and will eat with one hand Tor while.
Maddened by the death of their cap
tain. the gang, failing to bring the IN.
mates out by any other means, set fire
TO the house. The tiendish plan had, OF
course, the desired effect, In the mean
time the hell-deserying crew, 10 make
sure OF accomplishing their object. had
surrounded the premises, and as Davis
and his wife ran out from the burning
building the former WAS easily caught.
He Was then severely whipped, and, in
credible though it may seem, had both
his ears cut off close to his head. The
officers succeeded in getting hold Of the
member of the band who was wounded,
and he is now confined in the county
Jail.
Saturday night an affray occurred be-
ween Taylor Fountain and another ne
gro, in which Fountain was terribly cut
about the face and neck by his antsgon-

PEARFUL RAILROAD WRECK.
F.sight Trains Collide-Passsngsrs Burn
ed In the Ruins.

friyhtiul railroad disaster occurred this
morning on the Air Line railroad, 500

in sections, one about fifteen minutes
behind the other. On the up grade Just
beyond Paw Creek trestle fourteen cars
of the forward train broke loose ana
stopped after running a short distance.
In the rear ear were the fiagman,
Bob Griffith OF this city, and SIX
passengers, three OF whom were
colored. When the detached cars stop
ped, flagman Griffith at once jumped
of, and having told the train men to
notify the passengers that they had
broken loose from the remainder oil the
train. Immediately started back to signal
the second section. He had not gone
far before he heard the approaching
train, and he then realized the TACT that
he could proceed no farther because oi
the trestle, which is one hundred and
fifty yards wide and very heavy. he
waved his flag as the engine, in charge
OF engineer Wisenberry, came in sight,
and the engineer expressed his recogni-
ton OF it by Immediately blowing
down brakes, but his train was heavy,
and he was nearing the bottom OF one
OF the biggest grades on the road, hence
il was impossible to stop. AS soon as
he realized this fact, and before crossing
the trestle, he reversed his engine and
continued TO blow on brakes. Reallz'
ing the catastrophe, he left his seat and,
standing in front OF the fre.5ox with
his hand on the lever, awaited the
shock. II came, and he was partially
knocked down by stick OF wood from
the tender, but was otherwise unhurt,
though almost entirely shut in by the
mass OF debris which was thrown
against the engine. His life was
probably saved by the fact that
the rear OF the tender was
thrown to one side, thus deviating
the full momentum sf the train from
the engine TO the side OF the cut, against
which the shattered cars were piled IN
an inextril able mass.
Phillip 5. Whisnant, OF this city,
Charlie Sellers, whose parents live IN
Pinhook, and negro named Ned Stroad,
were all killed. The cars telescoped
each other and were piled in the great.
est confusion. The mass caught fire
and the remnants OF the cars, including
that in which were passengers, were
DESTROYED. At least one OF them was
burned alive, as his cries were heard
and the charred remains were recov-
cred after several hours, but could not
he recognized, the head, feet and hands
being entirely burned off.
