city without Government.

|
MrRs Cry, MoNr., Jan, 7.-The peo
pie OF Miles City continue to be stricken
with terror over the dreadful threats and
fearful dofngs of the lawless element in
their midst. Life and property are both
insecure. Since the murder Of DR.. Carlin
and his child the people have been tFem-
bling with fear lest the rough element
should gain the ascendency and enact ad-
ditional scenes OF assassination, riot and
arson. Two attempts were made upon
the life Of the editor Of the daily paper
published here on account Of its advocacy
oftlaw aud order. Some county authorii
ties are not only giving comfort and aid,
but hope and encouragement TO acts ot
lawlessness. They actually refuse TO en-
force the law, claiming that such action
would be unpopular. Through NUMEROUS
peculations, Custer county, OF which Miles
City Is the county seat, Is now carrying an
indebtedness Of nearly hall a million dol:
lars, and either bankruptcy or bonding Of
the debt must follow.
Little ranchmen and small cattle raisers
are perseented by the large cattlemen who
are oyerrunning the ranges. When man
becomes obnoxious to these people, the
regulators summarily lynch him and re-
mort another. horse thief hung. Twenty
todr men have been hung in this manner,
and for no other reason than this. 1t Is
said that an assessmentof So, 600 has been
levied among the larger cattle men for the
payment Of men who committed these
iynchincs. A system OF cruel persecution
exists in Montana. There are men in
Custer county who are actingin the double
capacity Of county officers and regulators.
Toincur their ill.will is TO invite persecu-
ton and assassination.
Miles City is without city government,
and is absolutely under the swayot thugs,
bIacklees, prostitutes and criminals. who
dictate 10 and control the officers of the
law. The killing OF DR.. Carlin and his
child on the night after Christmas rests
upon Custer county, which will unques-
tionably be mulcted in heavy damages.
The bodies Of the murdered man and
child have Just been shipped east. Indig-
nation over the atroclty increases as the
facts are fully CLEANED, in spite Of CLOSING
little little knots on tie streets and with trepi-
lation ask: "What enormity next" They
feel that their only successful saccer must
come from Washington, and through the
federal authorities making speedy inquiry
into the state OF affairs existing in eastern
Montana. Mrs. Carlin, the widow OF the
man, states that Sullivan, the
desperate, did not kill DIR. Carlin, as was
reported; that at the time OF
The shooting, Sullivan was aquarter Of q
mile away and running for his life. The
shots which killed DR.. Carlin came from
the the sheriff's posse.

CoIuaBus, o., Jan. THE State Con-
vention Of coal mines to-day had dele.
gates representing 5000 miners. Thecall
for the convention states nothing special
ly concerning the Hooking Valley strike,
but a limited number OF the delegates are
in favor OF reduction OF the mining rates
20 10 90 cents, which would be in the ma
ture Of a compromise with the operators,
who refuse to opayoyer20cents. A majority
OF the convention, however, are opposed
to this, so it is said by some that nothing
will be donein the matter.
To-day-was, spent in perfecting an or
ganization. The convention went into
executive session this afternoon, but did
nothing aside from listening to remarks
from President Mcbride, who urged the
convention to advise the miners to stand
tirm, MS the Trades Unions in all parts Of
the country had promised aid.

Tho Interstate Commerce Bun Calls Mr.
Reagan to the Floor. whoroupOn Ho Has
a Short Passage at Arms with Mr..
Howitt-Generaiw washing gton News.

wAsH1xoTov, D. c., Jan. 7.-In the
House to-day the discussion on the Inter
State commerce bill was resumed. Mr..
Reagan defended the measu re from an at
tack made upon 1t before the holidays by
Mr.. Phelps, and maintained that the
gentleman had never read the bill, or hav-
ing read it had not understood it. The
gentleman in his peroration had threaten
ed the House that II the bill became a
law the railroad companies would either
violate every provision Of 1t and block the
wheels of justice, or lock up silent loco
motives in, the round-houses. The gentle
man had chosen in this arena to menace
and attempt to intimidate Congress by the
threat il it passed Just and necessary
law 10 protect the great body OF the peo-
ple against the greed. rapacity andtyranny
OF n class here represented that class
would ostentatiousiy violate that law and
invite litigation.
Mr.. Hewitt, OF New York, said, as to
tho bill under consideration he for one
was tired Of this kind OF legislation and
this Indifference to the plainest facts,
which ought to be known to every man,
even the gentleman from Texas. L.
Mr.. Reagan inquired whether the gen
tleman pretended TO speak the voice ot
New York. The voice of New York was
better expressed by Its Legislature, which
demanded legislation on the subject.
Mr.. Hewitt-"For commission; ta-
vor a commission"
Mr.. Reagan-"I have no doubtthegentle-
man would take a commission that would
not do any thing good and would not be
expected TO do anything. II the voice OF
New York could be heard instead OF the
voice OF aggregate capital a very different
voice would be heard"
Then passage OF arms took place be-
tween Keifer and Reagan, the former de-
nying statement by the latter to the
effect that the Committee on Commerce Of
the Forty.seventh Congress was packed
against the bill, and the latter reiterating
his statement.
On the motion OF Mr.. Hopkins the
amendment was adopted, giving tho
United States Courts power to issue writs
OF mandamus compelling railroad COM
panies to forward freight.
Mr. Hammond offered an amendment
providing that no case brought under this
act in any State court Of competent juris.
dicdon shall be removed to any United
States Court. Agreed to, yeas, l24; nays,S9.
Mr.. Hammond moved to amend bypro.
yiding that the commissioners shall not
be appointed until the fifth OF March,
1885. Pending action the matter wentover.
Mr.. Gibson offered resolution de-
claring it to be the duty OF this Congress
to enact such laws, and make such appro.
priattons as will enable the Government
10 commence at once the construction Of a
navy suitable both for offensive and de.
fcnsive purposes in time Of war. Referred.

TIE hero Of Appomattox never appear
cd to better advantage than in this hour
of his misfortune. Bowed down by the
weight Of his woes, his good name used to
deceive and defraud, his sons stranded on
a coast strewn with wrecks his own means
swept away, he rises grandly and shows
himself every inch man. A Senator
having offered bill to pension him, Cen
eral Grant declares that he would not ae.
cspt pension. Friends undertaking to
raise a fund for his relief, he tells them
that he cannotacceptthe proGered bounty.
Ali this will only draw his ceuntrymen
more closely to the man whose fame as a
soldier is wide as the world.
General Grant in his time has been
much imposed on, for under the soldiers
rugged exterior he has a confding heart,
But in the hour of trial he has ever shown
himself a man. He may now decline
every offer Of aid, aud still his countrymen
will never consent that he shall want in
his old days They will find some way to
help him Il he needs help.

Ina suit before the City Court OF New
York the question was raised whether a
woman eau fill the Office Of notary public.
There was no question OF her cafability,
for among other things the woman notary
is described as good lawyer: Chief JUS
tice McAdam decided that the question
could only be tested in direct action
brought by the Attorney General to oust
the notary.
In his remarks the Chief Justice made
it very clear that he leans to the side Of
tho woman in the case. He said, for ex'
ample, that since it required the term
"male" in the Constitution to exclude
female citizens oflawful age from voting,
a similar limitation would bc required to
disqualify them to hold office. 1fawoman
