Charles Foote, oolored, was recently
tried and convicted in the Criminal Court
of brutally beating his wife, which was
made a misdemeanor, punishable with not
more than forty lashes, by an act OF the
last Legislature. Foote was sentenced to
prison for sixty days, and to be whipped
with seven lashes. The case was taken to
the Court Of Appeals of Maryland to test
the constitutionality Of the Act of the AS
sembly, and that tribunal declared it con-
s~titutioual. Foote's term of imprison-
ment expired at Baltimore, Jan. 20, and
he sfssrward received the seven lashes.

PACIFIC COAST ADVICES.
ESPECIAL TO Il SENTINEL.
Steamer Rurned-EOss of life,

SAN Francisco, Feb. "a Seattle dis
patch says: The steamer Gem left this
port this morning, loaded with freight for
Fort Gamble, Seabresk and Union City,
and had four passengers on board. The
steamer called at Port Madison, and in the
afternoon started for Port Gamble. When
five or six miles out smoke was observed
coming from the hay. The Captain headed
the boat for the shore, dashed the wheel
and cot the lifeboat into the water, but it
went adrift in three minutes. At this time
all but the extreme forward part of the
boat was a mass Of flames. The Chinese
cook and two deck hands showed the re-
naming boat into the water and jumped
for 1t, but fell into the water and were
drowned. T. G. Fiekefy, a passenger,
a teacher at the Skohomish Indian Reser-
Walton, cried to his wife to follow him and
he would save her. He plunged into the
water and was drowned, and his wife fol-
lowed him and sank in a moment. The
deck hands lost were George Gowan and
E. Raybaok, and they, with Vickery and
his wife and the Chinese cook, camplete
the list of those drowned. Captain Will
hanson anchored and kept the crafts head
to the wind, to keep the bow free from
fire and themselves safe until taken off by
boats which were sen from the shore, two
miles distant. The Gem was a stern
wheeler, IS tons, and belonged to John
McCreary " Co., Union City, and was
valued at $50 900. No insurance on vessel
or cargo.

HOaArrO sEYMOUR'S VIEWS.

From his quiet home at Utica, Hora-
ito Seymour views the political situation
from the standpoint of a participant who
has retired from the field Of operations.
Mr.. Seymour is the one man in the
United States who can be said to have
refused a Presidential nomination when
the chances Of election were largely in
his favor. AT the time he declined a
nomination, he put in the plea Of old
age, and, with four additional years add
ed, Mr.. Seymour cannot have the faint
est idea Of coveting the nomination he
has heretofore declined to accept. His
views, therefore, may be regarded as
those Of a capable and dispassionate OBJ
server Of the present political situation.
In his recent article in the North Ameri-
can Review Mr.. Seymour takes the
ground that the reverses of the Repub!i-
can party in the November election were
brought on the party by the policy OF
Capitalization which its leaders adopted
as one Of the results Of the war.
The writer does not oppose the
opposite doctrine Of State rights to CEN
traligation, but strikes a line between
the two as the true one to follow. On
this point he saysi ''The American
people are divided into two parties; these
grow out of the form Of our Government;
each is needed for its preservation. All
agree that there is a division line be-
tween the powers Of the General and the
State governments. To enlarge unduly
the power of the States ~endangers the
Union. To extend unduly the jurisdic-
tion of Congress leads to corruption.
For a long time the Democratic party
had the direction Of affairs. The divi-
sion of our country into free and slave
States led the latter, out of fear Of Fed
eral interference, to carry the doctrine Of
State rights too far. Civil war was the
result. After the contest was over there
was a reaction against the doctrine of
State rights. A feeling grew up that
the stability Of the General Government
might be insured by giving it larger
powers. Jurisdiction was mistaken for
strength. This sentiment was carried too
far, for, while State rights have been I'm.
duly magniied, they still exist, and are
as sacred as the rights of the General
Government"

alias James Graham, a man about 26 years

RECEPTION.

On last Thursday evening there was a
pleasant Reception at the residence OF
Judge H. c. Miller, on Broadway Street
Fifty invitations were sent out, and the
Judges residence was we'll filled with
guests, in response. Mrs Sophia Miller
of Denver, was present, and this was Civ
en- as farewell reception to her, by the
Judges family, as she will start West in
few days.
The company began to assemble early
in the evening, and by nine o'clock the
house was full. To those who know OF
the intelligence and sociability of the
good people of Jackson, it is not necessa-
ry to say that the time was not permitted
to drag wearily along. After the usual
greetings had been exchanged, some of
the younger members of the company in
stituted some of the old-fashioned games
such as even the older persons present
had played in their childhood, and in this
way afforded fund of amusement and
mirth. When the older members of the
company talked, everybody listened; when
c. A. Atkinson, J. NJ. Trip, Will. H.
Miller, Ed. Poor, Elias Crandall, and 9TH
ers, enacted charades, everybody studied !;
and when Mark Sternberger played "Si-
mon says wiggle-waggle," everybody
laughed. Judge Longbon was in the jol-
liest humor imaginable, and felt as young
as anybody in the house-until Charlie
Atkinson wanted him to play "bun-
combe," when the Judge declared belief
that age was telling upon him, and that
he must leave the games to younger peo-
pie. However, the Judge enjoyed him
self. Between nine and ten o'clock Rev.
w. d. Cherington called the company to
order, and offered prayer, after which
Judge Miller, with lively corps of as
sistants began to pass around refresh
ments. After a splendid supper, there
were more amusements, and thus the
evening passed away, all giving them
selves up to the enjoyment of the occa-
sion.
1t was near midnight when the last of
the guests departed, bearing with them
as did all those who attended-recollec-
tions of the evening spent with Judge
Miller and his family, which will be a part
of their lives throughout the future.

A FEW days ago Mrs. Dora Inez Cal
vert, of Guyandotte, w. Va, was married
to Ex-Gov. Sprague, of Rhode Island.
Mrs. Calvert had but a few days before
been divorced from Frank w. Calvert, OF
Portsmouth. Mr.. Calvert was interview
ed by Portsmouth Times reporter, and
gave the new Mrs. Sprague rather bad
name, alleging that, among other short
comings, she was poor. We do not know
anything about the fair Inez, but we have
seen something of Mr.. Calvert's life, and
while she may have been all bad, he may
have been just a little bad, in fact, not
entirely love of husband, SO to speak.
Mr.. Calvert will be remembered as the
drummer who came here some years age
to spend his Spring vacation. and remain,
ed until the Spring election came on
when some of the young men, tired OF
seeing him around, and desiring te
play prank upon him, ran him for Jus
tice of the Peace, and he received, we be
lieve, 10 votes. Upon this he took his
departure, and Jackson has had no oppor
tunity to run him for Office since. Mr..
has the reputation here of being thor
ough business man, and an excellen
salesman.

Pleasant Evening Party.

On last Friday evening there was re-
ception given at the pleasant residence of
Mr. and Mrs Fl. J. Carr, half a mile east
of town. A large number of persons
attended, quite a number walking the
distance, as it was lovely moonlight
night. Mr.. and Mrs. Carr are happily
situated. having large and commodious
residence, beautifully laid out grounds,
and quite little farm of land. This is
the house built by Mr.. Vance, and was
occupied before the war by the late Peter
Powell, father of Mrs. Sophia Miller, of
Denver, who was present at this party.
Mr.. Carr is now, we believe, in his sew
enty-third year, and has resided on this
place about twenty-one years. He was
at home when the Morgan Raid come
along, and he gave us some interesting
"reminiscences of that exciting period.
He described an argument he had with a
garrulous rebel, in which "the abolition
preacher" sadly wound up his dirty-shirt
opponent, when the latter clenched the
argument by leveling a carbine at the
heart of the unarmed minister, and or
dering him to be still. Of course Nor.
gan's men stole his horses.
Mr.. Carr has lived to see wondrous
evidences, in his country's history, of the
wisdom and justice with which God
rules the universe, and he and his goo6
wife, as the shadows begin to gather
upon the sunset side of their earthly
| journey, rest serene in the love of one tt
whom they. have looked, and in whom
they have trusted, for so many years
The work and influence of such people a
these do not end with their earthly lives
This was a happy evening for all VIII
attended, and all left wishing for a lont
and prosperous sojourn yet in the worlt
for our old friends.

Walked on the Track

On last Wednesday deaf inmate of the
County Infrmary, an old lady, named
Rebecca Howenstein, was walking along
the track of the M. & G. Railroad, nearly
opposite Grays Foundry, when the mail
train came along. The woman was walk
ing along the ends of the ties, outside of
the irons, leading the engineer to suppose
that she would step out of the way when
the train approached her.
When coming close to her, and finding
that she made no effort to get out of the
way, the engineer blew the whistle to
warn her of the approach of the train.
Seeing she still did not move out of the
way, he reversed the engine, turned on
the steam, and made every effort to stop
the train in time to avoid striking her
but too late. The train ran up to her, the
beam of the pilot struck her, knocking
her away from the track, and throwing
her to the ground. The accident was wit
messed by several parties from the depot.
One of these describes it as presenting
the appearance of the woman's having
suddenly stepped off the track, falling to
the ground afterward She was severely
cut and bruised about the head, receiving
these injuries from the fall. So near had
the train been stopped that it ran but the
length of two cars after striking her. She
was taken on the train and brought to the
residence of family named Graham, near
the depot, where medical aid was sum-
moned. We called shortly after her arri-
val and found Drs. Ewing and Williams,
and Medical Students Grant Ewing and
Asa Messenger, at work. DR.. Williams
was engaged in sewing up an ugly-looking
cut on the top of the woman's head. The
scene presented in the room was sicken-
ing, horrible sight. DIR. Williams gave it
as his opinion that the woman cannot
recover from the combined effect of the
wounds and the shock to her nervous
system.
No blame whatever can be attached to
the engineer, as he did everything possible
to avoid striking her.
1t is one of the mysteries why deaf peo-
pie will walk on Railroad tracks. The
engineers of locomotives cannot be ex-
pected to know who are deaf and who are
not--neither can they be expected to stop
every time they see person on the track.
