Southern Monument TO Grant.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 12.-The Evening
Times OF this city contains the following
novel editorial proposition this afternoon:
"Seeing that the people for whom he fought
have virtually refused to erect monument
TO the memory Of Grant, suppose the South,
against whom he fought only to be their

sorest needs, put her hand In her purse and
contribute money TO build a pile to the
memory Of the hero whose bosom contained
heart that felt for her woes. The Times
will freely contribute to such fund Let's
hear from the boys who wore the gray, and
ifthe thing is feasible, then let's take steps
to set 1t properly IN foot. What say you,

A CURIOUS CRIME.
A Man Hung by a Mob After He had Been
Murdered.

HoLLIsTER, Gala, Nov. 14.-Dr. Powers,
u we'll known resident of this place, was
found hanging to tree on the road near
here on September IS. At the time 1t was
thought to be case of lynching from q pop.
ular uprising against him, but later suspicion
pointed to murder.
Eighteen persons were arrested for alleged
completely in. the crime. Every effort 10
obtain convincing testimony In the prelimi.
nary examinations failed. Twelve persons
yet remain in custody. Richard Alexander,
one Of these, Saturday last made written
confession TO the detectives, the contents of
which has been kept strictly secret. Levi
Alexander, father Of the confessor, who was
present when bis son made the statement,
to-day made public its contents. This shows
the whole matter wes instlgated and exc
cuted by John Il. Prewitt, who, partly by
strategy and partly by coercion, inveigled
eighteen Others into becoming accessories to
the crime. Powers was shot on the evening
Of September 1lth by Prewitt while on his
way home In the presence of young Alexan-
der and Andrew Irwin. Later In the evening
q meeting at which nineteen persons were
present. was held with the avowed purpose
of Furnishing Powers on charge of incen.
diarism, brought against him by Prewitt.
When they came up Prewitt said: ave
needn't discuss the matter, / have settled 1t.
The old man Is dead" All present we're
then Informed they were accessories to the
murder aud were saorn to protect them
selves. To strengthen the oath they were
induced to 60 to the spot where Powers
body had been left and take part In hanging
1t where 1t was afterwards found. Prewitt's
enmity towards Powers was caused by the
latter having been witness In case which
deprived Prewitt OF some illegally held land.
Among those named by Alexander as being
implicated are s. P. Hascn>ft, Andrew Irwin,
Fred Fowles, Isaac Slavin and Marion
Thompson,

THE OREGON sENAroRsHIP.
A Newspaper Opens Heavy War on Mitchell

PORTLAND, Oregon. Nov. 15.--John II.
Mitchell having come out publicly as can
didate for United States Senator, the Ore
gonian to-day publishes chapters In DIS
career, which are given to the public for the
first time. 1t prints letters written oy
Mitchell in 1870 to Carrie Price, sister Of
his wife, making love to her in amost ardent
manner, and promising, If she remained true
to him, that he would get divorce from his
wife and marry heI. The Oregonian repeats
the charges made two years ago (when
Mitchell was o eaudidate) that he received
brides while he was United States Senator,
and urges Mitchell to sue it for libel, so that
1t may prove the charges in court. The
publication creates no little sensation
throughout, the State. What effect II will
have on the members of the Legislature
remains to be seen, and will not be devel-
oped until the first ballot, which takes place
next Tuesday. The Legislature adjourned
on Friday until Monday at 2 p. m. The
only pronounced candidates thus far are ex.
Senator George S. Williams and Mitchell.
Those opposed to Mitchell assert with posi-
tiveness that he cannot be elected, though q
strong effort they think will be made to in
duce the Democrats to vote for him. 1t
seems that the Republicans will not 60 into
q caucus OF the Senatorial question.
SALEM, Nov. 1.-THE Oregon Legisla-
tpre took the first ballot to-day for United
States Senator. The vote stood, John II
Mitchell, "a; George Ii. Williams, Is; the
remainder scattering. This was the Repub
lican vote. The Democrats voted solidly
for James II. Slater. There are 90 members
of the Legislature, requiring 40 to elect
Mitchell claims that he will be elected TO-
morrow. On the other hand, his opponent:
say he will meet the same determined oppo.
sition of the minority, which defeated him
three years ago after he had received the
caucus nomination, and that he cannot gel
enough Democratic votes to elect him. l,
Is not believed that Williams can be elected
and the opinion prevails that some sort Of ,
compromise will be reached by the contend
ing factions. Governor Moody Is everywhere
mentioned as the "dark horse"

ALTHOUGH nearly 100000 has been sub.
scribed for monument to General Grant
At Riverside and the Grand Army by 10
cent subscription from each member will
raise at least $50, 900 more for monument
at Washington, it is complained that the
people are reluctant and ungrateful and q
suggestion comes from "the boys who wore
the gray" to stand In aud make the monu-
ment matter success. That Is very good
10 the extent that monuments are needed.
But II seems to US enough has been sub
scribed for monuments. Would It not be q
great deal wiser to contribute TO some great
soldiers aud sailors home, hospital, asylum
or educational institution which will bear
the name of Grant? There is nothing
needed TO psrpetuate his mama and fame but
history. But great institution like one Of
these, especially II 1t we're Of high educa-
tional character where meritorious students
with slender purses would be encouraged by
the opportunities, would be a worthier com.
memoration than pi!ing up useless stones.
Beside, its professorships would doubtless
be endowed and ample support gi' en- 1t by
wealthy testators who would wish TO iden-
tify their leg acies with the name Of the great
General.

DELEGATE TOoLE being interviewed in
Washington November 18th in relation to
timber cutting In Montana, after reciting the
effect the ruling Of Commissioner Sparks
would have on Montana if it were approved
anil enforced added: "But aside from this,
1t Is questionable whether the courts would
enforce such regulation, as the law giving
authority to make such rules and regula-
tions necessary for the carrying out Of the
statute seems 10 me to 60 beyond constitu-
tional authority, In this that it al attempt
to confer legislative powers upon an execu-
tive department Of the government. The
true solution Of the question, 10 my opinion,
Is to have these lands surveyed and to pro-
vide some method by which the citizen can
acquire title, and this remains for Congress
to do" That is the true solution. Survey
the timber lands Of Montana, offer them for
sale and individual owners wi / protect their
property and use II to best advantage. The
5000, 600 Sparks asks for detectives and pros.
ecution money would survey enough lands
to settle this question and 1t would be paid
back into the treasury for lands.

. THE President on Monday reappointed
Peter Roman as Indian agent at the Flathead
Agency, Montana. We believe, all things
considered, Mr.. Roman is the best Indian
agent there has ever been In Montana and
we heartily congratulate him on his reap.
,pointment. The Indians respect him and
regard him rs their friend, aud although
some Of his wards have made trouble while
off the reservation, 1t has generally been
when they were supplied with whisky by
white men and Agent Roman has ever used
his best endeavors to prevent outlawry and
bring the perpetrators to punishment. We
do not believe any other appointment would
give such general satisfaction In Western
Montana, where the agency Is located.
