The Tennessee MOOnshiners.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July % Search for
the body of Deputy United States Marshal
Miller, who was murdered by moonshiners in
Sumner County, has been discontinued on
account of the danger to which the searchers
were exposed. The authorities are very reti-
cent as to their plans for the arrest of Illicit
distllers in Sumner and other counties. but
it is understood that they will use every effort
to break up the crooked establishments
Considerable comment is made as to the fail
ure of the Government to ferret out the muir
derers of several deputies and the men who
have fired upon and wounded others. The
distillers have every advantage of the revenue
forces on a raid, their knowledge of the
woods enabling them to make vigorous at
tack and a prompt retreat if pressed too close
" to a place where they are absolutely safe
from detection. Notwithstanding this, the
moonshiners in more than one county may be
treated to a 1sagreeable surprise shortly.

The following speech is reported to
have been made in the Georgia House on
Thursday last. when resolutions on the
death OF General Grant were under con-
sideration. A Mr.. Harrison spoke in OPP
position, and said:
Ii shall MT be said that | complimented
the services of man who deprived Georgia
of her rights AS she believed them. Never,
here nor elsewhere will |. under any circum-
stances. attempt to say on any occasion that
Georgia was wrong. that her sons were
traitors, and compliment the author of her
misery. will not do it,
Iuasmuch as the tone of the South in
general is much more noble and more
credtable to that section, it is refreshing
to see it reported that these utterances
found little favor. and his sentiments were
Indignantly repudiated by the leading
members of that body.

An American Shot in San Dom
lingo.
KILLED BY GOVERNMENT TRoOPs-A NEED
LESS AND INtxCUsABLE OUTRAGE.

On the steamer G. W. Clyde, which arriv-
ed here last evening. were several Americans
returning from San Domingo. They say the
greatest excitement prevailed in San Domin-
90 among the American and other foreign
residents over the shooting of John Plat on
June 90. Plat was a carpenter whose home
was in Yonkers. He had gone to San Dom
lingo to conduct repairs in the hotel San Pc
dro His wife and child had been with him
and had started for home OIL the last steamer
that left San Domingo before the shooting.
Plat was TO sail for New York on the Clyde,
which arrived last night. Elk President
Sesaro was known to be in the hotel and the
Government desired to arrest him. 1t sent
a detachment of guards to make the arrest.
Sesario made his escape, but Plat, who had
been aroused by the noise, stepped from his
room into the hallway and was mistaken for
the ex-President and shot dead.
Henry Mas and H. Nachtrieb, of New
York, no came on the Clvde, said that the
shooting was denounced as piece of mex
cusable carelessness.

they do not meet the requirements of the

opinion he would have learned that ac-
cording to the Attorney General there are
no contracts. The Government proposes
to treat Mr.. Roach as without any rights

COGLAN WINS.
The Supreme Court Declares that He
Was County Clerk.


The long-pending contested election case
of Coglan VS.. Beard-which in its latter
stages involved simply the question as to
whether Beard should have the salary for
two-year's term-was yesterday decided by
the Supreme Court Commissioners in favor
of Coglan, as we learn by telegram re-
ceived last evening. It will be remembered
that the parties to the suit were rival can
didates for the Office of County Clerk of
this county at the election held in Noyem-
Der, 1882. According to the first returns
Beard had plurality of Is votes, but the
count being contested decision was rend-
cred in favor of Coglan by the Superior
Court, the ballots being counted by the pre-
siding judge at the time. Beard appealed
the case and the decision was reversed, but
the new trial resulted as before in favor of
the contestant, Coglan, the ballots being
again counted. AS Coglan had, during the
progress of the second trial, been acting as
County Clerk, he of course had charge of
tie ballots, and upon this ground the sec
ond appeal was taken. 1t is held, how
ever, that the findings fully support the
judgment, and that Coglan has sufficiently
proved that the ballots were in no way
manipulated or tempered with, and his
title to the office is therefore affirmed.
The amusing part of all this is the fact
that Coglan long since served out that
term of office, and Beard has been defeated
tor the succeeding term. STILL decision
even at this late date in Beard favor would
be worth several thousand dollars to him.
