General Assembly.

The General Assembly Of the Cum
berland Presbyterian Church meets
at Bentonville, Ark, in May next,
and we are informed by Prof. Finney
that all that is necessary to have the
body meet in McMinnville in 1886 is
to extend them an invitation. We
heard the matter discussed some
time ago, and some of our people
seemed to think the town could not
entertain such a large body, which
numbers, of delegates and visitors

A Useful Invention.


Mr.. Frank B. Leach, of Chicago, Is
in town, introducing a very simple and
useful little lock for holding window
sash. 1t is neat, strong and durable,
and will effectually lock sash at any
point. 1t also prevents swinging sash
from rattling, and precludes all possi>
bic chance of raising sash from the
outside, Mr.. Leach is selling terrific
ry, and some young man who wishes a
good thing should see him. The lock
only needs to be shown to sell it to any
house owner.

The Election.

The proposition submitted to the
voters of the corporation for the cor
poration to take $500 stock in every
five miles of pike roads built from
town carried by vote of 144 to Z.
1t is rumored that if the authorities
ever attempt to take any steps in the
matter it will be contested in the
courts. The Era suggests that the
County Court submit the same kind
of proposition to the voters of the
county. We second the motion.

Eng eIish Bondholders Say They are Treate
Like PIckpockets.

English Bondholders Say They are Treated
Like PIckpookets.
RICHMOND, Va, Jnly 7.-Mr. William l..
Royal, counsel for the English bondholders
OF Virginia bonds, returned here yesterday
from London. In relation to his mission
he says that the council of foreign boudhold-
ers, as we'll as individual holders of bonds
are to man unslterably opposed to making
any proposition Of compromise to the State.
II any adjustment is ever effected, the move
toward il will have to come from the State.
The creditors have deep feeling of resent
ment at the treatment they have received.
They say they have had two settlements
with the State, in each Of which they great
ly reduced their just claims, and the
only return they have received is the
utter denial of their rights and such abuse
as is bestowed upon pickpockets. Mr.. Royal
believes that if the fatal policy that has
been adhered to, Of war upon the bondhold
ers, were changed into pacific policy Of
Cancellation and friendly negotiations that
some adjustment could be arriyed at; but 30
long as the authorities of the State maintain
their present attitude of defiance and pill
lsge, the State will get deeper and deeper
into the mire. The State creditors are de.
termined to test to its final conclusion the
question whether the institutions of this
Government are equal to sustaining them-
selves. ut makes Virginian hang his
head in shame" said Mr. Royal, ITO see
how this State is thought of in England. 1t
is enough to kill any measure dead in Lon
don to let the name of Virginia appear to
be connected with it.

ing Their Warlike Intentions.
WICHITA, KAs July 7.-Dispatches from
Fort Reno and Darlington, the seat of the
spprehended Cheyenne troubles, say: Six,
teen companies are now upon the ground.
The Indians, in speaking ofthe probability
of their being disarmed by the Government,
say they will die before submitting to that,
as it would be death in either event There
Is little doubt that white men have had a
hand in working the Indians up to the pres
ent warlike attitude. The Cheyennes were
considerably excited to-day over the quar-.
teriDg of some freshly arrived troops in a
vacated Arrspshoe school building, and
since the accidental killing of the Indians at
The lodge, their medicine dances have been
more incesssnt' The special says such
heathenish practices as are now going on
daily have not been witnessed in many
yesrs, and old Indian fighters say that the
renewal of those war dances is inexplicsble.
So far as the presence Of the sixteen com.
panies is concerned, the Indians seem to
care little, believing themselves able to whip
q much larger force.

eLARINe IRREGULARITIES

Discovered in the Books OF Messrs. Bumm
and Nilligan OF the Shackmaxon Bank.
PHILADELPHIA, July THE hearing of
George W. Buum, William 81. Bumm and
Samuel P. Miligsn, charged with conspir-
ing to defrsud the stockholders of the Shack
amazon bank of over s300, 900 took place
this afternoon. The testimony of John s.
Kuene, the expert, who was employed to
examine the books of the bank, was to the
effect that in 1888 Bumm & Sons checks
amounted to S7S3,67l. At the end of 1884
the firms account was oyerdrswn Sl44, 300
and notes amounting to $4,000
were drawn by two clerks IN
the firms employ to the firms order
and were deposited to their credit. In 1895
the firms oyerdrsft was $40,52l and the
only deposit was $3.50. The teller's books
showed glazing inaccuracies, false entries IN
one instance being as high ss $4,000.
Many false additions were shown. Joseph
ConkIn, contractor, swore that he began to
deposit in the bank about 1875, and about
two wears later he entered into an arrange
mt nt with President VIM. Bumm, now de-
ceased, TO get money from the bank. Mr..
Bumm simply gave him a note. and when.
ever he wanted money to settle for his con
tract work he took the note and got the
money. This continued until 1857, when
President Bumm advised him to draw the
money on his personal checks. which he
drew when he required it until the failure.
He dld not keep bank book and never
made any settlement
After Mr. Bumm's death Conklin went on
with his drafts the same as before. About
two weeks before the failure ne deposited
g GOO in bond with the wstchmsn after 1t

1882 about 100000 in bills aud warrants,
and in 1878 he had giTen confessed Judg-
ment for $50, 900 to President Bumm- DE

Arizona Settlers AK That the Rsdskins Bs

Disarmed.
WAsMSGToS, Jaly 7.-Ex-D Delegate G. q.
Uuray, Of Arizona, today fled with the Com
missioner Of Indian Affairs letter upon
the general subject Of Indian troubles in
that Territory. He says it is but natural
that the people Of the community who have
been 50 fearfully outraged in the past by
savage Indian tribes in loss of life and
property as have been the people of Arizo-
M, should become restless and disconten.ed
under governmental policy wh CD permits
dreaded and barbArous foe to be main
tanned in their midst armed and equipped
IN such manner as ID render them capable
OF dealing death and destruction upon inno-
cent and unofending citizens Whenever
their savage instincts may lead them 10 do
50. The people or Arizona are restless aud
olscontented under this state of things, and
appeal TO the government to relie1e theic
tears BY disarmlng the Indians on the reser-
Vanons IN the Territory, especially those oc-
cupyiDg the White Mountain res.
erystion at and near San Carlos
agency. These Indians have been the bitter
and implacsble foes Of the whites from time
in memorial, ever siace a. acqaisition of
! the counuy By me e'6i{ed States. Their
career in all the past years, except at inter
vsls, has been characterized by rapine,
oloodshed and destruction. They have
made for themselves history with which
every citizen Of the Territory is familiar
and which precludes the possibility of belief
in the permansnce of any peaceful attitude
they may assume so long as they
have the means of grsri-
flying their bloody instincts. These
Indians need no guns there is not sufficient
game in the country to make hunting an
object and if there was there is nothing to
drive them to the pursuit of it. They are
fed, fattened and maintained by the liberal.
ity of the government in style that few
poor laboring men in the country can af.
ford. There is no exertion required Of
them and If there IVES requirement would
be made in vain for
They VIII Not Work.
They have no enemies to defend themselves
against so long as they sbjure their inclins-
tion to plunder and conduct themselves as
other peaceable people. AT one time three
or four years ago, there existed band of
thieves and eut-throats that we're by some
miscslled Cowboys, but think l can safely
say that there is not an instance on record
showing that even these ever in
vaded an Indian reservation or killed
or murdered q single Indian. Many of this
gang were killed and the balance driven
away, so that the reports of their pistols are
heard no more in the land.
Mr. Oursy says that the only true solu-
ton of the Indian problem is to De found in
their removal from Arizona and their set
tlement in the Indian Territory, and con-
eludes as follows
The people Of the territory ask President
Cleveland TO recommend to Congress the
removal of the Indians as above suggested,
and hope your department recognizing the
Justice of the move will heartily endorse it"
