ing more money than they do by
taxation for their public schools
proposes to distribute the money
appropriated for education to each
State in propotion to its popu-
lation. A distribution in proper
ton to illiteracy, he holds,
would be unequal and unjust"
He thus forgets or ignores the
only proper motive for any ma
tional aid at all, and demon
strates his disposition as parti-
san to pervert q discreet and
proper educational measure into a
political trick. When we read
Logan's abuse of the Southern
white people for not educating col
ored children, VIC involuntarily
asked, is this the same John A.
Logan who, in the Illinois Legisla-
ture, secured the passage of bill
selling into slavery all free negroes
found In the State When the
constitution of Illinois, Lincoln's
State, was framed in 1913, there
were two provisions in it which
were separately submitted to the
people for their adoption or rejec-
tion. One was that no negro or
mulatto shall be permitted to mi
crate or settle in the State. On
this the vote was III, 1906 to Il, ,30G,
being a majority of 10O,590 for the
provision against the admission
of negroes or mulattoes into Hi
nois.s The other was that they
should not hold Office or have the
right Of suffrage. On this the
vote was 2l1, ,920, to 3j,6l9, being
a majority of 1921 against al
lowing negroes or mulattoes to
hold Office or to vote in Illinois.
TO carry these provisions into

1853 and secured the passage of
the following bill:

same, every such negro or mulatto
shall be deemed guilty of a high

The Railroad Commission Bill.
Especial to the Appeal.l

Especial to the Appeal.
Nashville, March 2S.-The fol-
lowing are the material points of
the Railroad Commission bill:
The first section of the bill pro.
vides for the appointment of three
commissioners by tho Governor,
who shall hold Office until the LIST
Of January, 1885, and their success
sors shall be elected by the people
at the November election, 1884,
and every two years thereafter.
The eighth section gives the
commissioners access to the books.
records, papers, proceedings and
property of the roads, with power
to examine the officers, directors
and employees, under oath, and re-
quiros reports from the corpora
tion ot the property and business
to the commissioners from time to
time as they may require.
Section ten authorizes the com
mission to make schedule of the
maximum rate for the transporta-
ton of passengers and freight.
Section eleven authorizes the
commissioners to classify freight
and make rates for each class, and
reasonable rates for passenger
travel; ; make rates to prevent un-
necessary blockade of freight, and
to prevent unjust discrimination /;
make reasonable rates for the use
of cars, with power to the commits
sion to allow the roads to charge
more per mile for the transporta-
ton of freight and cars for Il shor.
ter than a longer distance.
The twelfth section authorizes
the roads, or the consignor or the
consignees, to make application to
the commission for q charge of
the maximum rate Of freight, with
power to the commission to de-
eide upon the application, and
makes the decision absolute and
from which there shall be no ap-
peal.
The act practically puts the rail.
roads of the State in the hands
and under the control of the com.
mission without the consent of the
stockholders.

IIcksburg and Memphis Railroad.
INieksbuFg Herald.


General Manager Edwards, of
the New Orleans, Baton Rouge,
Nicksburg and Memphis railroad,
closed a contract on yesterday
with Geo. Arnold & Co., of Mem
phis, for the grading of twenty
miles of the road commencing at
Clarksdale, in COahoma county.
The contract includes fifteen miles
of the work previously let to
Burke, Foley & Mcmahon, this
firm eonsenting to a transfer of
that amount of the contract. This
leaves a gap of only fifty miles
which is not under contract.
Mr.. j. J. Casey, master car bull
der of the New Orleans, Baton
Rouge, Vicksburg and Memphis
railroad, will leave Monday for the
purpose of visiting the different
ear manufactures, and will pur.
chase at once a sufficient number
of passenger coaches to run daily
trains between New Orleans and
Baton Rouge, and from this city
to Port Gibson.
All arrangements are completed
for the laying of the steel rail be-
tween this city and Port Gibson.
The work will commence t0-mor.
row morning and will be pushed
forward rapidly. Steel rails, ties
and fastenings are here for sixty
miles of track. The two large To-
comotives that have been ready
at this point for weeks were tested
yesterday, and will be placed at
work laying the new track.

A Montana Mans Bad Bet.


Salt Lake Tribune.
During the last cold spell, while
the thermometer was 2jo below
zero, a traveller offered to bet 800
that nobody would ascend the
top of mountain on Big Hole
which was about 1900 feet above
the river. The winner to ascend
it with nothing on but a pair Of
boots. The bet was accepted, and
a young railroad man named Fair.
chand held the wager. The Mon.
tana man started, absolutely naked
above his rubber boots, a whisky
bottle in the left hand and twig
of long-leaved pine in the other.
rousing applause of the crowd
of spectators greeted the hero
when he reached the top, and after
that, while he came on the Jump
back. lie was speedy, indeed; his
face was red Hot from the empty
whisky bottle, his back Scared
by scourging hlmselfwith the pine
twig, and the uncovered parts of
his legs were blue with chilliness.

founded, skipped out, leaving his

other day as nice sl00 counter

This act passed the Legislature
of Illinois in 1852, and was not re.
pealed until 1868. John \. Logan
was the father and champion of
the bill. lie drafted it, and the
records of the Legislature show
that he carefully guarded its
severe and cruel provisions
against all amendments. Aud this
is the man who now, in the Senate
of the United States, and in a re-
cent article in the North American
Review, traduces the South for not
educating the negro aud for once
opposing their enfranchisement.
The old slave codes of the South
furnish no parallel to the bloody
provisions of Logan's bill, which
he forced through the Illinois
Legislature. Yethe has the i'm.
pudence to charge the South with
hostility to the black. Logan's
bill, selling into slavery free ne
groos, was founded alone in preju-
dice against color and race, and in
the face of such cruelty and bar
barity toward the blacks who had
fled to free Illinois for protection,
Logan now comes forward as the
champion of the enlranchised
blacks and the assailant of the
white Southern people for not cd
ucatisg the race unfit to lave in
lllinnic. In view of these facts
the color9d people of the Soutl
are not crying for the nomination
of John a. Logan for the presi
dency, and if he should be the
candidate of the Republican party
in 1884 the negroes will cast sole
vote against the man who refused
their race shelter in misfortune.

Southern Historical Society.

Nashville, March 23.-The Banner
publishes the following:
Looking forward to the meeting
of the Southern Historical Society
in Nashville, which, as advertised,
takes place on the 21st of May, in
connection with the competitive
military drill,a Banner reporter
called upon Col. II. ID. Capers, at
his quarters in the Nicholson
House to ascertain any facts which
would be of interest to the gener.
al reading public. The reporter
found Col. Capers surrounded
with papers, manuscripts and
books of entry, and his unpretend-
ing quarters looking for the world
like business.
Col. Capers deeply regretted the
loss of Maj. Martin, who had
charge ofthe competitive drill, and
with whom he had been co-opera-
ting. His sudden death seemed
to have impressed him very much
and he spoke of the deceased in
the warmest terms of commeda-
ton.
"Wby, sir,n said the colonel,
only the day before his death / re-
ceived letter from Martin, agree
ing to certain matters / had sug-
gested in connection with the drill
which was as clearly expressed
and as hopefully uttered as a docu-
ment could be. He impressed me
very much as cool careful man,
of superior administrative ability,
and | cannot think of the 2lst OF
May without some degree of sad
ness.v
10 the questions "What pro.
gramme have you agreed upon for
your meeting :" Col. Capers an-
swered in substance as follows
During his recent visit here,
had a conference with the Rev. DIR.
Jones, the secretary of our society
to which VIC invited Dr. Lindsley,

of your city. You must remember
that I have no authority myself,
nor has DR.. Jones, to make any
appointments or meetings for our

which Gen. Dabney Maury is
chairman, hut such is the high os.
innate and deserved respect which
the committee have for DIR. Jones
as secretary that he General Lee

that no exceptions will be taken
to what we have done. Therefore
We have arranged for the May
meeting OF the society. The open
ing address viii be delivered by
the Hon. Jefferson Davis, express
ident of the Confederate States,
and we are now arranging Il pro:
gramme of daily exercises, which
viii embrace MANY historical
papers of great Interest,"
"Do you think it proper that
President Davis should address
your body 2"
"Why n0tsn was the prompt
answer. Mr.. Davis is not only
capable of making an address
worthy of any living statesman
that | know of, but he is the man
of all men we want to speak to our
body. Heis a wise man, prudent
man, and a just man-yet he is
man brave enough to despi3e syco.
phaney and yet great enough to
recognize the logic of the inevita.
BILE. 1t is a great mistake suppose
that Mr.. Davis is sour, disapoint-
ed politician. He rises TO u high.
er atmosphere, and as he loves his
country and the best interest of
his people he cannot nor will not
compromise either. AS far as |
am concerned personally, | have
never yet seen the day, or the mo-
ment of the day, that I had any
apology to make for the soldiers

Chairman Citizens Committee.

On Wednesday of last week the
citizens of our town voted on the
question as to whether the town
should be taxed to purchase the
right of way through the county
for tho Canton, Aberdeen and
Nashville railroad. Out of a vote
of about 400, 321 was cast. 32O
for and 1 against. 1t is supposed
that this one was a mistake; that
in the hurry to get to the polls to
vote-as there was quite rush
some one through mistake must
have picked mp ticket "against
the donation,r and voted for it.
At any rate this is the solution of
the matter.

Denver Tribune.
A survey is about being made
through the heaviest portion of
the Black canyon of the Gunni-
son. For long distance the walls
of syenite rise to the stupendous
height of 5000 feet, and for 1900
feet the walls of the canyon are
arehed not many feet from the bed
of the river. If the survey is sue
cessful, and the Denver and Rio
Grande is built through the can
yon it will undoubtedly be the
grandest piece of engineering on
the American continent. The
river is very swift, and it is pro-
posed to build a boat at the west
ern end and provision it for a
length oftime, allowing it to float
with theetrcam, but controlled by
ropes. Ifthe boat goes the chances
are that the baby road goes, too.

Wild Wan OF CamaS.
A CREATURE SLAIN IN DAuo.
bellevue SUM-

Bellevue SUM-
The celebrated wild man of the
Camas prairie was killed recently
by some parties travelling through
the prairie.
While the travellers were camp
cd in the foothills on the edge of
the prairie, one of them, named
Micklchancy, went few hundred
yards from the camp to kill some
ducks, taking with him shotgun
loaded with large shot. When
only u couple of hundred yards
from camp the Wild Man of
Camasn jumped up from his hi.
ding place, and after running a
short distance stopped and looked
at Micklehaney through his large,
clear eyes for a moment, then with
u shrek that struck terror to the
hunter and caused him to shudder
as the echo resounded through the
forest, the man with the forocity
of a savage beast of the jungle,
made for Micklehaney so ficrcely
that in order to insure his own
safety he emptied both barrels of
the gun into him, when he fell ap.
parcntly dead. Micklehaney went
TO him, when the strange being be-
gan to revive, and he put his foot
on the mans neck and called to
his comrades to bring him an axe,
which they did with all possible
haste. The man escaped just as
they arrived, and with . pitiful
moan regained his feet and started
to run. The axe was thrown at
him, and as he turned his heal to
look back it struck him In the cen.
tre of the forehead aud he dropped
lifclcss to the ground.
On examination he was found to
be rather tall, with full, clear eyes
and an extraordinarily large head
appeared to be about forty.Gve
years of age, although not a gray
hair could be seen. The wavy
black hair hung low down upon
his body, and his bushy beard was
about two and q half feet long.
The body was covered with a thick
growth of hair about two inches
in length. This was also black
and very fine. The finger and toe
nails were two inches long, and
rcsembled claws more than nails.
He was wrapped in a long robe
made of rabbit skins. These skins
were sewed together by sinews.
On examining the place from which
he made his appearance, it was
found that he had very comfort
able bed, which was made of the
soft bark of sage brush. 1t was
under an oyerhanging rock, and
well protected from the wind.
Near the bed were two rabbits,
which had most likely been killed
by stones. About ten years since
an insane stage driver left Boise
City, and has never since been
heard from. The "The Wild Man
of the Camas' may be the same
having taken up his abode in the
then desolate prairie. but seldom
visited by White men. The Wild
Man of the Camas" F" has, since
first seen in 1873, beer dreaded by
the lonely traveller and prospector,
who will be relieved to learn that
he is dead.
