The militia Fund 1yrongfully withheld.


The Militia Fund NyrongfnIly Withheld.
CHICAGO, July 7.--for the past six years
tax OF tenth OF a mill has been levied for
the support of the State troops, netting a
fund OF 1000 yearly for the support of the
States regiments OF infantry, cavalry and
three batteries of artillery. The collection of
this sum has been delayed one year in each
instance. and the troops in consequence have
had back Indebtedness 70 meet when the
fund is ready for disbursement, and in addi-
ton the claim is made that the amount is
not nearly adequate for the proper mante-
nance of the commands. AT the last session
of the Legislature the military code was
amended so as to give the troops fixed sum
of $50 900, payable in advance. In view of
that fact the State Auditor on July turned
the amount collected under the tax levy fer
the past year back into general fund. This
amounted to $75 00e, and all the State regi-
ments had incurred an Indebtedness to cover
this amount but which the auditor refused
to pay. The officers declare that it leaves the
troops in bad plight, and that the action Of
the auditor is arbitrary and unauthorized, as
the money levied was levied for military use.
Proceedings by mandamus will be instituted
to recover the fund

The home of Oscar Gilmore in Tinmouth
was the scene of terrible accident
Thursday morning. His only son, a boy

the little fellow fell into the sugar head

which he tried to break his fall, were ter

that he can live.
William O'Brien of Burlington, a freight
conductor on the Central Vermont, was
the victim of a shocking accident at Essex
Junction, Friday night. He was engaged
in coupling cars, when his right foot was
caught between the guard-rail and the
rail, and the car wheel ran over the lower
part of his leg, taking the calf completely
off, and then, as he was dragged under,
ran over his thigh, crushing the bone.
Mr.. O'Brien was brought to Burlington
and taken to the Mary Fletcher Hospital,
and on Saturday the surgeons amputated
the leg several inches above the knee.
The unfortunate man rallied from the
operation and strong hopes of his recov-
cry are entertained. He is about twenty
five years of age and has wife but no
children.

The dynamite investig ations in
London leave no doubt that the late
explosions were the result of deeply
laid conspiracy, whose plans compris-
ed still wider and more destructive
operations. Of the six conspirators
that were recently arrested, the prin-
cipal agent seems to be Gallagher,
who went not long since from the
United States to England, carrying
with him, 1t is believed, sufficient
money to accomplish his wicked de-
signs. His relations with the other
suspects" and especially with one
Whitehead, the dynamite manufac-
turer, at Birmingham, were of the
most intimate and secret character.
1t is likely that the single charge of
conspiracy against these mon will be
oi-""sea to conspiracy to murder, sc
that if they are convicted the penalty
will be the more severe. Whatever
the punishment is, however, it will
not be excessive. The dynamite
fiend, whether he be found in France

simply prepares the material or goes
to the extremity of exploding it, il

A South Carolina correspondent
declares that no adequate idea is en-
tertained by the North of the excite
ment which has prevailed in that
State over the election fraud inves-
tigation. One feature of the case has
been the threatened assassination of
x-Chief-Justice A. j. Willard, who
is of Government counsel in the pro-
ceedings, though he thinks the threat
only bit of bravado. The Gov
eminent, however, has much difficulty
in managing its witnesses. Every
form of intimidation is used, and
their services is not to be depended
upon. Though the cases have not
come to trial, the papers of the State
have of course pronounced the pris-
oners innocent. 1t is no crime to
cheat the black man out of his vote
in the judgment of the average South

Eighteen years ago Saturday
evening Abraham Lincoln received
his mortal wound, and the system of
the country has not yet recovered
from the shock. The recollection of
the nearer calamity of Garfeld's as
sasslnation does not awaken such
profound feeling. nor touch the ten
derest chords, as does the thought of
the amazement and regret to which
Lincoln's murder moved the nation.
Lincoln's death came when the coun-
try was worn with exertion and sor-
row; Garfield's when vigor and cour-
age had retained. The nation could
not throw off trouble in the war DAYS
as 1T did in a few months after Gar
fields pain was over. But above all.
the men were of different types. The
sympathetic heart of Lincoln diffused
an influence which proceeded from
no word or act of Garfield. important

THE STAR ROUTE TRIAL

The long drawn-out second star
route trial is nearing its end. The
testimony is all in and the lawyers
are clearing their threats and infa-
ting their lungs for two weeks
campaign of sound and wind. Both
sides appear to be confident of victo-
ry. The star-routers are reported to
be especially loud in their declara
tons. Dorsey is reported to be
hopeful of a complete acquittal and
another disagreement of the jury is
not unlikely. The government has
made out substantially the same case
as it did on the first Trial. Rerdell' S
testimony has not strengthened the
governments side to any great ex-
tent. This witness has not success
fully withstood the merciless dissec-
ton of the croSs-eXamination. Dorsey
and Brady have been on the stand
and told plausible story, and this
fact has helped their case notwith-
standing they were involved in some
damaging contradictions by the cross
examination. These gentlemen, it
is intimated, will bring suits against
several wealthy newspapers which
they allege have smirched their fair
fame. The tenor of news from
Washington would seem to indicate
that the country must prepare for a
disagreement of the jury and for a
third trial which counsel say will
follow.

staggering under defeat, or when
Lees army had been broken in
pieces, an expression which will sur
vive the most eloquent words of
Garfield, for it told of sensibilities
which were responsive to the faintest
pulsation of JOY or detection in the
breast of the nation. 1t does not
take away any of Garfeld's merit to
exalt Lincoln's personality, that al
most undefnable something which
has given him place in the country's
memory which no one can take
away.-Boston Advertiser.

THE MISSISSIPPI.

At the city of Cairo, upon the
southern extremity of the State of
Illinois, are gathered together the
waters of five great rivers, viz, the
Missouri, the Upper Mississippi, the
Ohio, the Cumberland, and the Ten
nessee. Between that point and the
Gulf of Mexico lies the Mississippi
River proper, ,097 miles in length
as it flows.
Its course is through an alluvial
plain. six hundred miles long and
from twenty-five to eighty miles wide.
In this basin is embraced an area of
Al 900 square miles, of which 80 1000
square miles are liable to overflow.
Behring'S made at eighty-three places
between Cairo and Vicksburg show
one hundred and thirty-one feet mean
depth of alluvial soil. From Cairo
to the mouth of the Red, the width
of the river between banks varies
from 1 900 to 1880 feet, the mean
being 4.400 feet. Below the Red
the width rarely exceeds $500 feet,
the mean being $3.50. Between
Cairo and Memphis its least depth at
low water is five feet; between Mem
phis and Red River, six feet; and
between Red River and New Orleans,
fifteen. feet. The variation in its
discharge is enormous, passing from
100000 cubic feet per second at low
water to 100000 at the highest
food. The range between high and
low water mark at Cairo is fifty-two
feet; at Memphis, thirty-five feet,
at Vicksburg, fifty-two feet; and at
New Orleans, fourteen feet. In its
greatest floods its water surface
stretches from hill to hill, across the
entire valley; at extreme low water,
it flows between banks from thirty to
forty feet high.
The depth of its inundation bears
no comparison with its area, being Oh
an average, less than three feet over
the arabic lands. In the swamps il
is much more. Its flood elevation al
Cairo is three hundred and twenty.
two feet above the sea. Its fall from
Cairo to Memphis is about six inches
to the mile. Thence to the gulf it:
fall steadily diminishes, being abou
one and a half inches per mile a
New Orleans. 1t is one of the mud
diest rivers in the world. The great
er portion of the sediment received
by it at Cairo comes from the Mis-
souri,, but this supply is constant.
