SETTLED At LAST.


Our Board of Mayor and Alder
men have concluded to stop the eX-
pensive litigation in the Courts, and
settle the outstanding Indebtedness
of the corporation by re-funding
and issuing new ten-thirty coupon
option bonds bearing interest at the
rate of six per cent. per ann am, pay
able semi-annually. Two thousand
dollars of the bonds viii be of the
denomination of fifty dollars; three
thousand dollars of one hundred dol
lars and the balance of five hundred
dollars each payable at option after
ten and under thirty years. They
have also appointed three commits
sioners to take charge of the sinking
fund. These commissioners are re-
quired to invest the funds that come
into their hands to secure the best
interest of the tax payers and final
ly to be applied to the liquidation of
the debt under authority and in
structions of the board of Mayor
ana Aldermen. We congratulate
the City Council and citizens of the
town on the settlement of this tedi-
Gus, vexatious question, and especi-
ally Mayor Gregg who has been an
noyei and perplexed but untiring
and determined in his endeavors to
bring about solution and final adj
iustment of the whole matter.

POSSIBLE POLITICAL ooMpLIo4-

IIONS.
Washington Special to Cincinnati Commercial.
1t is evident that the Democratic
leaders are alive to the political ad-
vatages that might accrue to them
by the accession of Gen. Arthur to
the Presidency. A Southern Sena-
tor remarked, the other day, that
the situation would be one OF great
gravity, and SO far as it would af-
feet the organization of the Senate,
would be without precedent in some
respects. The Inauguration of Gen.
Arthur as President would leave the
Senate without a President, and
Secretary Burch being dead, the
Chief clerk would call the body to-
gether and the first business in
order would be to perfect the or
ganization by eleetiong President
pro tenn. and a Secretary.
When asked if it would not be
proper to admit the New York
Senators before taking any steps
toward completing the organization,
the Senator said that would, in his
opinion, be impossible, because or
ganization must be effected before
business of any character could be
transacted. There must be a Presi-
dent to take the chair and to pre-
side over the deliberations. 1t has
been suggested that a temporary
President might be chosen for the Oc-
casion, but he did not think this
could be done in this Senate 1t
was proper to appoint a temporary
Chairman before permanent organ
ization of a convention or a body
beginning de norO. But the Senate
was a continuing body, not
under the necessity Of having a
preliminary organization. 1t must
proceed directly to elect permanent
President and Secretary, and then
would be ready to consider other
business, the first of which in this
case would probably be the creden-
tails of the Senators from New York.
The spirit Of rank paritsanship in
this Democratic plan for taking az
vantage of two vacancies ready to be
filled by the Senator's elect whose
credentials all the world knows are
not disputed by anybody would GER
tainly open the session with bad
feeling between the two parties and,
is is believed here, would not be
submitted to by the Republicans
without such a degree of resistance
as would forcibly call the attention
of the country to it. The Senator
referred to further attempted to
Justify his view of the matter by
arguing that if the New York Sena-
tors were to be admitted before the
election of a President Of the Senate,
there would probably be no election
for weeks or months, because Judge
Davis would probably vote with the
Democrats, and Gen. Malone with
the Republicans, so that there
would be a tie, and a probable repe-
tition of the deadlock of last spring
He insisted that the surest way to
avoid difficulty would be to elect
officers and then take up other bust
ness. This discussion is decidedly
premature, but it serves to show
what the Democratic plan is.

Nashville American August ~
a representative of the american
met President James d. Porter as he
stepped into the rotunda OF the Max
well house at l 40 o. clock this morn
ing, and asked him what was the re-
suit of the investigation Of himself
and others of the Sewanee coal
mines and the new furnace at Cow
an.
In response he said that himself,
Vice President Alexander, of the
Louisville and Nashville railway,
General Superintendent Thoms, Of
the Nashville, Chattanooga and St
Louis railway, and Nat Baxter,
president of the First national bank
of Nashville, had gone there to make
a business investigation in behalf of
capitalists who proposed to spend a
million or more Of dollars in blast
furnaces along the line Of the Nash
vile, Chattanooga and st. Louis rail
way. They found the resources OF
the mines unlimited, and will make
the most favorable recommendations
to the capitalists who propose to
make the investments.
The party on their way from the
Sewanee mines were elegantly en-
tertained at Monteagle Springs.
The above is the coal and iron
property recently purchased by Mr..
John II. Inman, Of Inman, Swami
& Co. 1t is understood Mr.. Inman
has realized individually cash
profit Of over two hundred thousand
($200,O00) dollars on this purchase,
besides still retaining a large interest
undisposed of, and continuing in the
active management.

ANS WERLNG 4 P C QUESTION.

Ans WERLNG, 4 p. C QUESTION.
AUGUST 80, 1881.
To the Editor OF the Morristown Gazette:
If Vice President Arthur becomes
President, wont Milford Conkling be
called to his side as his leading adviser
in shaping the policy of his adminis:ra-
tony p. &.
Very likely he will. Why not {?
We most assuredly would make such
a political and personal friend, and
recognized statesman, an adviser
under the same circumstances, would
mt you? Garfeld's strong point has
been shown in his persistency in APP
pointing to Office men whom no be-
loved competent to the positions,
regardless of the opinions of Sena-
tors and Congressman. IF it is right
to let Garfield assume all RESPONSE.
b:lity for his administration, it would
be wrong to deprive Arthur of the
benefit of any trusted friend he might
desire. At least that's the way we
saw it before Conklings recent cap
ture of the New York Republican
State committee, and that little Incl
dent doesn't go to prove that he is
a political cadaver by any means.

News from the Indian frontier
brings tidings of the massacre of
another little army of American of
ficers and soldiers, last Thursday,
by the White mountain Apachos,
near Camp Thomas, Ariz. Lieut..
Cruz was shot by "medicine man, p"
whom he was trying to arrest. The
troops opened fire and killed the
medicine man, and the massacre
then commenced, and nearly every
white man was killed.

On the 18th inst. the editor OF the
Quincy Daily Herald, in a leading
editorial, used this language; "We
believe Guiteau to be just as honor
able as the man he shot, and a
mighty sight less dangerous to the
country at large" The Herald ed
itor has from time to time since that
date reiterated and aggravated this
statement by such assertions as
"When the doctors finish Guiteau S
work, as they seem likely to do,
there will be no national sorrow"
He also added that he had the sup
port of all reputable Democrats
everywhere. Public indignation
against the Herald ran high among
reputable Democrats as we'll as Re
publicans, and the feeling of amer
eliminated on the night 9th in the
hanging and burning in effigy of the
editor of tie Herald, together with
a companion effigy of Guiteau. In
this demonstration both Republi-
cans and Democrats were engaged,
but no personal violenee ofanY kind
was attempted or proposed.

The new road law in Tennessee
was put to the test in Sweetwater
the other day. J. NJ. Heiskell,
clerk and commissioners in the work
on a public road, deemed it neces-
sary to move back the fence of j.
Fl. Patton 81 feet, in order to widen
the road, instead of digging down a
large bank on the other side of the
road, which it was deemed imprac-
ticable to dig down. Mr. Patton
received only two hours notice and
objected to the moving of the fence;
and after it was moved, and while
the road hands were not engaged,
he put hands to work and replaced
his fence. He was accordingly pro
secuted by Mr.. Heiskell for OBJ
structing the road, and in a trial
before ], M. Browder, with J. w.
Robertson for the prosecution and
S. E. Young for the defense, de-
cision was rendered for the defend
ant.

NEZ PERCES KILLED By SITTING
BILL.

1t has recently come to light that
some seventeen Nez Perces were
massacred by the Sioux under Sit
ting Bull in the north a month or
six weeks ago 1t Will be remem-
bered that after the surrender of
the Nez Perces to Gen. Miles, in the
Bears Paw mountains in 1877, a
fragment Of the band escaped, fed
across the boundary line, and asso-
ciated themselves with the Sitting
Bull band. These massacred Nez
Perces were the remnant of these
fugitives, many Of them having
drifted away from the Sioux. The
cause of the massacre, so far as we
are able to ascertain, was some sud
den quarrel that broke out in the
lodges. The Nez Perces were kill
ed to a man. Montana Record.

JOHN sHEPPARD's DBA TIL


John Sheppard, an infdel of ORR
on, Neb., built a platform alongside
a Methodist camp meeting ground
and made daily speeches against
the doctrines preached by the Meth
odist ministers. He was a great an
noyance to the Christians, and they
tried hard to convert him but all
in vain. One day an impulsive
clergyman prayed that if Sheppard
could be silenced in no other way
he might be removed by death.
That evening the infdel died very
suddenly, and it would be difficult
to convince the people thereabout
that he was not killed in direct
answer to PRAYER.

A Kansas Citv date saws. TT

A Kansas City date says: This
morning DIR. George w. Davis, of
this city, was killed in Colorado
about a week ago under the most
distressing circumstances. Mr.. Davis
was a young man about 81 years of
age, who came West from Vermont,
his native State, several years ago,
and during 1877 made St. Elmo and
Alpine, Col, his home. He engag-
ed extensively in mining and was
well liked by every one. On We'd
nesday evening last, at his home, he
took a pair of Colt revolvers, which
he thought unloaded, and handing
one to a near and dear friend named
Day, said in a joking way. defend
yourself" Day rose, entered into
the spirit of fun which actuated
Davis, and the two men snapped the
pistols in each others face. A re-
port followed, and Davis fell heav-
lily to the floor, shot through the
brain by a ball FROM the pistol he
had the moment before handed to
his friend. 1t was all over in an in
slant. The jury rendered a verdict
that Davis came to his death by ac-
cident.

The management of the Cincin-
natl Southern have adopted a practi-
cal system for the settlement of i'm
migrants along its line in East Ten
nessee. It has appointed an agent
whose duty 1t shall be to write up
:. description ofthe unoccUpied lands
on it for distribution in Europe,
where it will establish a bureau to
promote immigration. An effort is
to be made to get a large number of
Swedes to settle at various points
along the road. Beside having
agents to write up the resources of
the property described, it will also
have agents at Castle Garden, New
York, to turn the tide Of immigra-
ton South. A young man is now
engaged in writing a pamhlet, to
contain about 200 pages, for gene
raj distribution. A number of copies
will be printed in English and Ger

A new SONG comes to us entitled,
Chow They Parted" For want of
time we have not read it, but of
course they parted in the natural
way-about a. m, after kissing
each other "good night" at least
thirty seven times. "Well, | guess
[ must GO" he says, heaving sigh,
about two hours before he does go.
Then, after another hours con-
versation about one thing and an
other, he presses her hand and with
much pensiveness, says he really
must go-and lovingly fingers an
other half hour. Then he says he
didn't know it was so late, picks up
his hat and moves toward the door,
when he puts his arm around her
to prevent her from falling in
swoon and makes a score of fifteen
kisses in one inning and still ling
ers. Then he gives her one more
kiss just for luck and reluctantly
steps down and out into the black,
lonesome night. That is about
how they parted without a new
system has been adopted very re-
