ternoon, at her residence at Jersey City. She

Mrs Corbin was with her mother when she
died. Gen. Grant arrived soon after. Mrs

plain of any ndisposition until few hours
before her death. She has been from maiden
hood a member of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, and was member of Simpson
Church, Jersey City. She was unobtrusve
and shrank from notoriety; and though cher
ishiug maternal pride in the honors con-
fcrred upon her son she never seemed clatcd.

afternoon at the house of Mrs. Abel II. Cor
bin, on Pavonia Avenue, Jersey City
Heights. The Rev. Mr.. Henderson, pastor

TEWKSBURY LIES ExPLODED.

BosToN May 14.-The Tcwksbury hearing
was resumed to-day. Several witnesses tes
titled that no bodies of infants were disscctcd
at Harvard Medical school, Dr. Potter
demonstration of anatomy at Harvard Medical
school from 1869 to 1879 when he had entire
conlro! of the bodies for dissection, testified
that TO his knowledge there was not body
brought there which was paid for by the in
stltution. lie wos cognizant of all the trans
actions and never knew of Dr. Dixwell's hay
ing infant bodies to disssect out of school.
The remains were put into boxes and burn.
cd at Mount Hope cemetery. There never
mingled with the human bodies. The amounts
paid by students for bodies went to the jani-
tor. Some bodies come from Tewksbuty for
which was paid S14. He had seen but two
dead infants in the school, The Janitor
could not have dealt in bodies without
witness knowledge. He did not know of
any cases where the skin of subjects was
tanned. He did not know Dixwel had n
private dissectlng room as alleged. Witness
said the school got bodies from other sources
than Tewksbury. The Governor asked from
where. The witness declined TO answer. a
long discussion regarding the relevancy of
the question ensued.
In the Senate the amendment to the Tewks-
bury amshouse appropriation bill placing the
care and expenditure Of the appropriation
under the control of the Governor and coun-
Gil was defeated, II to 10.

INDIAN SLAVERY.
HE Francisco Captains slaves Set
free-A Murders Result.

Free-A Murders Result.
WASHINGTON, d. c., May 14-D. NJ Rior-
dan Of the Navajo In 1ian agency writes to
the commissioner of Indian affairs that he
was recently informed boy had been killed
by member of the Francisco Captains"
band. Investigation showed the boy was
slave Of the murderers. The agent says the
owners of slaves have always held they had
absolute power over them and thought as lit
tie of killing one of them as they would
dog. They beat and starved them and acted
toward them as slave drivers generally do.
81 learned from the Francisco Capt.
tains that the entire family of the
murdered boy and five others were held
as slaves that the original slaves were two
Moqui girls, bought for corn four genera
tions ago. All their descendants were con-
sidered slaves and SO treated all of which
the Captains considered perfectly natural.
Some time ago the father of the murdered
boy asserted his right to be free. The kill
ing OF the boy was to remind him of his de-
pendent condition. Knowing the expensive
and uncertain process of securing conviction
under our laws especially in the territorial
courts the difficulty of procuring witnesses,
etc., determined at least to secure the
liberation of all the remaining slaves,
and demanded that all those now among
the Indians held in bondage be tree. They
said 1t would completely upset them One
old villAin wanted to know who will take
care of Inc il my slaves are taken away"
Riordan insisted that all slaves be freed and
the Indians finally acceded to the demand.
lie estimates that about 300 persons were
held in slavery by this tribe, some of whom
are war captives while others are the results
of trades or purchases. The descendants of
these are always considered slaves. The In-
dian bureau approved the stand taken by
Riordan and will render him every as sist.
ance possible in carrying out his plans.

Coming more directly to the matter at is
sue the missionaries say to the officers in
Boston: You say the committee are not
responsible for this reduction. The commit
tee, of oouIsc, are not responsible for the de-
probation Of the rnrcc but when, owing to
this depreciation, they are enabled TO pur.
at, say thirty-six cents, and
then pass them TO us at forty.five ceuts, who
Is responsible y
The missionaries further charge that ian
average premium on their (Ihc society's) bills
for the year ending September 80, 1876, Of
twenty per cent was realized, and that the
officers were aware of this fact when they is
sued their circular. They quote from the
circular issued from the Office in Boston as
follows: "Thc rupee costs 4j.4 cents gold,
or nearly the exact amount the missionaries
now receive" and reply thus; at seems
to us that the only impression any one would
get from that part of your circular is that,
at the time, the rupee was worth In Burmah
454 cents in gold, and that the missionaries
were receiving the full equivalent OF the
$1,000 and $1,000 promised. This was twen-
iy per cent or one-fifth wide of the truth"
The missionaries conclude thus: "If,
therefore, the executive committee, while
continuing to cancel its pledges of $1,000
WIN SilOO; II, while insisting upon paying
us in rupees of diminished value precisely as
II they were of full value, and If, while al
lowing II 2640 rupees for the $1,000 promis-
ed, when $1,000 will purchase 5000 rupees or
more in The market, they have done tleil
full duty TO the missionaries in the matter OF
their salaries then nothing more needs to be
said. To quote from letter of an esteemed
missionary, AN that is left us is to 60 down
on our knees and cry for mercy"
The Charges More Plainly Stated.
In a communication from Rev. DIR. u. b
Gross, said to be one of the most distinguish
cd missionaries now in the East, dated Toun
goo, Burmah, July 20, 1881, and addressed
