Captain EmmeS Crawford is evil
IDENTIFY laboring under the impression
that general orders, No. 49, clothes
him with plcnary powers. His arrest
OF citizens, claimants, and residents of
the Deer Greek coal fields, and forci-
bly, eiecting them from the same, hold
ing them as prisoners for twenty-five
hoafs, and marching them under
guard to the San Carlos Agency build
ingS, q distance of twenty-five miles,
and finally treating them as if they
were malefactorS, warrants the con-
clusion that he fails to comprehend
The import of the order. 1t charges
him specifically with the duty of
keeping the peace on the reservation,
administering justice, furnishing re
factory Indians, and preventing them
from leaving the reservation, except
by proper authority In addition to
the foregoing, he is required to con-
troll, feed and care for all Indians,
prisoners captured by Gen. Crook, and
protect the Indian Agent in the dis
charge of his legitimate duties on the
reservation. Had the citizens been on
the reservation (Which is still a ques-
tion) and broken the peace, the action
Of Capt. Crawford in removing them,
by force of arms, might perhaps have
brought his action within the purview
Of Order No. Is, but it is not even
claimed that they offended in that re-
spect. The men referred to are in
every respect tho pocrs of Capt. Craw-
ford; are quiet, inoiending citizens,
who will not be slow in showing their
disapproval of the indignity placed
upon them. The order upon which
Capt. Crawford claims to have acted
was old, and mildewed, having been
issued over two years ago by the Sec
retary of the Interior, and had long
since been regarded as waste paper,
but nevertheless it was dug up from
among agency papers, and placed in
requisition by Capt. Crawford, not
withstanding preceding Agents had
failed to give it effect, not caring to
take upon themselves the questionable
duty and grave responsibility Of sum-
marily dcpriving of their possessions,
men who, to say the least, had posses
sery rights Of long standing, and had
expended upwards of $4,000 in de-
veloping the property at issue-and
now that The government, fer the time
being at least, holds possession, it is
pertinent errer-,irc-7rirrt t-propv5cs
to do with it? For all purposes Of the
indians it is absolutely worthless, pos
sessing neither wood, water or game.
The underlying coal is the only thing
that renders it desirable, but that, by
reason of the embargo put upon it,
by the expulsion of c,tizen claim
ants, must lie dormant, and those
so greatly in need Of coke must go
elsewhere for it; to the Atlantic
States, or to Europe, when there was
Immediate aud present prospect of
having enough, and to spare within
fifty miles of our mills and furnaces,
and at prices very greatly reduced
from what it has hitherto cost us.
Crawford's action is terrible blow to
Globe district, and rests like a pail
upon our mining interests.

Lightning's Freaks.

The Tombstone Republican of the
4th. contains the following: During
the heavy storm last Saturday evening
the electric fluid played some fantas-
tic tricks at the residence of Mr.. A. c.
Smith, corner of Fifth and Stafford SITS.
The lightning entered the house at
the top of the screen door in front,
splitting it into fragments; thence fol-
lowed the ceiling until encountering a
wire stretched across the room, when
it was detected, and striking the side
of the building knocked large frag-
ments from the adobe wall in several
places, and finally disappeared. The
top was knocked from a bird cage IN
the room, but strange to say the bird
was not killed. Several plants were
also destroyed. Both Mr.. Smith and
his wife were severely affected by the
lightning, it being nearly twenty-four
hours before they fully recovered from

THE FLOODS.
st. Marys Levee Breaks, submsrg-
ing 20, 900 Acres of Wheat.
Thousands of Families Living
In Floods or Fled to The
Bluffs for Safety.

ST Louis, June 26.-Advices from
Chester, Randolph county, Illinois,
say that St. Mary's levee, opposite
that point, in Missouri, broke Sunday
night, and the st Mary's bottom, a
large wheat raising region, is now
nearly all flooded. 1t is said that
10000 acres of wheat are under
water in this bottom alone. From
Chester TO Grand Tower southwark
on the Illinois side, distance of
twenty-five miles, with an average
width Of ten miles, embracing an area
of $50 miles, is nearly submerged and
the crops destroyed. entailing great
loss. To the north of Chester, nearly
all the way up to st. Louis, the bot
toms are said to be inundated, except
here and there high ridge, which is
out of water. Information from all
this region is of ageneral rather than
specific character, but it is safe to say
that ii all these bottoms are deluged,
as stated, thousands Of families are
either living in flooded houses or
have fled to the bluffs for safety, and
that the loss to crops and general farm
property will be almost incalculable
The American bottom extends from
Alton to Cairo, something over 200
miles, the large part of which is
pretty thickly settled. All this great
tract is subject to overflow in freshets
like the present one, and it can be
readily imagined that the loss Of prop.
erty and the distress and misery
brought upon the inhabitants must be
immense.
The town of St. Marys, on the Mis-.
souri, side of the river is partly sub
merged, and Kaskaskia, on the Illinois
side, is to be abandoned, the people
having sent to Chester for a steamboat
to carry them away. A levee three
miles above Cape Girardeau, Mo-, and
about fifty miles above Cairo, and an
Other at Prices landing, twenty five
miles further down the river, broke
Sunday night, and let large volume
of water over the bottom. Other points
on both sides Of the river below here,
particularly on Illinois side, are in
about the same condition as above de.
scribed, and it may be said that pretty
much all of the bottom land between
here and Cairo has more or less water
on il.

Important Mandate.

Several weeks or more ago the
United States Supreme Courtrendert
an important decision, favorable to
Mr.. j. ]. Wilkins, the we'll known
jeweler, and it saved him the trouble
of paying debt Of $6l82.95 the second
time. Mr.. Thomas Quarles, in
his employ, to whom he was
indebted the sum namsd, died
in Alabama, and one of the relatives
Of the deceased collected the amount
Of the debt. Later another party
entered suit for the money, claim
ing that the settlement to another
State was illegal and void. The case
was decided here in the Federal Court
several years ago, adverse to Mr.. Viii
kins. The Supreme Court of the
United States reversed this decision
as before remarked, six weeks ago, and
now its mandate comes to change the
record in accordance With this action
and 10 release the securities.

The President has issued an order
reducing the number of internal reve
nue. districts from one hundred and
twenty-six to eighty.two. Under this
order Of things Tennessee will have
two districts instead of three. One
will be known as the Second, with
James W. Melton as Collector, and
headquarters presumably at Knox
vile, where he lives. The other dis
trict will be known as the Fifth. with
A. M. Hodges, jr., of Nashville, as
Collector. This leaves out General
r. f. Patterson, who has so long held
the position of Collector in the Mem
phls or West Tennessee district. This
is not matter Of surprise or regret
to him. He has long been engaged in
the cotton business, and but for some
envious or i'll natured attempts made
to.get him out Of the way, he might
have resigned long since. He has
been faithful officer, and enjoys the
respect and good will of the entire
community, regardless of politics.
