The Riel Rebellion.

WAsH1NGToN, April 25.-Consul Tay.
lor al Winnipeg, Man, has telegraphed
to the State department that Gen. Mid
dleton, commanding the Canadian forces,
had battle with Riel's force of Rebels
at Fish Greek, which lasted all day Fri.
day. The Canadian loss was IL killed
and AZ wounded. Middleton retired
about mile to an open space near the
East bank of the Saskatchewan, where
he was reinforced by a column from the
other side Of the river, but the number
Of troops still does not exceed 600. The
Rebel forces engaged are probably 300,
but there are rumors of hostile Indians
in the rear Of Middleton. The situation
IL very grave. The insurgents were led
by Gabriel Dumont. Their fire was most
deadly; nearly all who were killed were
shot through the head or heart.
MONTREAL, April pa public meet.
ing called this evening in the interest of
Riel and the Rebels had to be abandoned
owing to the hostile demonstrations made
by large number of English speaking
young men. A prominent supporter Of
Riel said the meeting would have to be
abandoned owing to an awakening of
public feeling by the news of fridays
battle.

Judge WyIie's Courage.

judge Andrew ]. Wylieof the District
of Columbia, who recently asked that the
President appoids his successor, twenty
years ago distinguished himself as bold
and fearless judicial officer by performing
an act which brought down upon his head
the censure Of many of his political
friends and associates at the time. 1t
was after the trial Of the assassination
conspirators, when all had been convicted
aud sentenced to be hanged, including
that ill.fated or unfortunate woman and
friend of John Wilkes Booth, Mrs. Mary
D. Surratt. The latter's counsel had
resorted to overy known method under
the law and by petition to secure a COM
mutation of Mrs. Surratt's sentence oil
death, but in vain. As all must remem-
Der who read the occurrences of that
day, the conspirator had been tried by
court martial, and even the counsel for
the defence of Mrs. Surratt (Hon. Rever.
dy Johnston of Maryland) had been
objected 10 by the prosecution. 1t was
Necessary to resort to desperate move
in order to save Mrs. Surratt, or TO even
have her life respited for few days.
President johnson was deaf; he even de-.
clined to give Mrs. Surratt respite for q
day to prepare to meet her God.
Not knowing whether Judge would
be found who would dare do such thing,
yet Mrs. Surratts counsel, having strong
case and new evidence. drew up pnper
and presented the facts, and determined
to pray for writ Of haJeas corpus.
TIE crisis was desperate one. The
counsel called at the residence of Judge
Wylie at z o'clock on the morning set
for Mrs. Surratrs execution. They rung
the bell. Some one came to the front
window OF the second story and grufiiy
demanded, "What is wanted3 ?" Judge
Wylie, partly dressed, came down stairs
and admitted the two lawyers, who stood
trembling in h:e presence. He, the
judge, turned on the light in the hall
and looked at the document they present
ed him. Standing there under the gas
burner, Judge w. read the document
through without word, and then retired
to rear room for q minute. The coun-
sci were in dread suspense. They could
hear their hearts beat. Prejudice ran
high in Washington, and it was not
thought a Judge could be found who
would issue a writ of haJeas corpus for
Mrs. Surratt. The Administration Pres.
ident johnson; the Secretary Of war,
Mr.. Stanton the Judge Advocate Gen
eral an excited army and navy, and an
excited populace, demanded the hanging
Of Mrs. Surratt. Judge Wylie had not
long been on the bench and had every.
thing to lose and nothing to gain by is.
suing writ. He returned to the counsel
and said quietly, but firmly: "Gentle.
men, your points are we'll TAKEN" He
signed writ to bring Mrs. Surratt before
him that morning.
After the writ was served President
johnson suspended the writ of ha5eas
corpus.
This act of Judge Wylie was one thai
places him in the character of one of the
boldest and upright Judges of modern
times" said Washington lawyer il
relating the incident.

For many years the building of q rail.

Raoul passed through Augusta in his
where he had a meeting with the officers
OF the Savannah Valley road, and stated
that he had closed the contract for the
latter road and it would at once be hur.
ried 70 completion. The Central road is
Carolina and this last addition to the
chain will be o golden link for Augusta.
The line extends from McCormick's, on
the Augusta & Knoxville Railroad, fifty.
eight miles TO Anderson, and traverses
the river valley, the richest section of
Carolina.
President Humphries, Of the Savannah
Valley road, accompanied President
iso'ui <hhuCtbOu VI bIGGuWOOu,
The latter seemed 10 he in exceeding
good humor and especially pleased at
the contamination of the agreement.
He says work will be begun at an early
day, and will be pushed steadily on to
completion. The road will be ironed as
rapidly as possible, and the crop of 1886
VIII be hauled over it TO Augusta. The
line has already been graded with the
exception Of about eight miller, and an
additional force Of rs conyicts has lust
been put 70 work, and the grading Is to
be completed by June 1st. The straight
road from Anderson to this place will
open up country most valuable as q
tributary to Augusta. The fact that i!s
building is now certain is cause for con-
graduation to the merchants, and they
will no doubt wish President Raoul
hearty Goa aIspeed in its completion.

he is candidate.
All predictions subject to revision and

Honey or Misery.

SCRANTON, PA, April 24.-That
portion of this city known as Providence
has been recently in fermeut caused by
the unseemly demonstrations of g blunt
old settler named Aaron Mcdonald, who
persists in annoying the family of W.
W. Winton, former President of the
Second National bank, and who owes
Mcdonald an old debt of about $4,000.
A few Sundays ago, during religious
revival at the church of which the Win.
tons are members, Mcdonald created q
scene by denoupcing Mrs. Winton
vehemently while she was extending the
hand of fellowship to some new members
Of the congregation. AS soon as the
sensation subsidized Mcdonald expressed
regret for it, and it was supposed that
the matter was ended.
But another, and even moro public
demonstration has just lead. to McDon.
aldo arrest, and he has been held to bail
for his good behavior. For some weeks
past the salvation army has been working
up the Hyde Park portion of the city
into religious frenzy. About twenty
members OF the army, including some
five or six females, invaded Providence,
and as soon as Mcdonald saw them he
offered them S. to accompany him to the
Winton residence and pray and sing for
the inmates. The salvationists would
no. accept IS, but agreed to take 81.
Then motley procession, headed by
Mcdonald, marched up the hill to the
residence of the banker.
The party stopped in front of the gate,
and Mcdonald, assuming command, ex.
claimed In loud voice "Now pray for
old Winton." The band began to pray
as directed, and hoped the Lord would
convert Winton and persuade him to pay
back McDonald's money. The Winton
family took no notice of all this, but
presently Mcdonald called upon them to
come out and be converted.
At last Mrs. Winton came ont on
the porch, accompanied by her son, and
begged that the "holy show" would
cease. Thereupon Mcdonald flew into
q rage, denounced the family as thieves
and threatened dire destruction upon
them unless they paid him bis money.
1t was useless trying to reason with him,
and his wild vituperation was interspened
with some equally wild psalm singing by
the salvation army. a great crowd con.
gregated about the place and loitersd
around there until the salvation people
dispersed.

was determined to postpone action, and
definite answer could not be then given,
his proposition was not made known.
From what we learn from some Of the
Laurens directors, there was good reason
for postponement, as between this time
and the next meeting-only about two
weeks distant-propositions are expected
from other parties. The postponement
will defer the matter but short time,
and we have no doubt some definite nc.
tion will be taken at the meeting next
month. While we think something
should be done very soon, and that the
completion of t'.a, road has already been
too long delayed, 1t is sometimes best not
to be in too great haste, and the present
may be one Of those occasions. We shall
await the action at the meeting with

Gen. GRANTS Condition.

| NEW YORK, April 24.-The Medical
| Record of to day ssays: Tho physical
condition of General Grant has markedly
improved during the past week. There
is no authority for the statement that his
physicians at any time prognosticated
speedy death or did not give the most
encouraging reports of the patients pro-
gress. The medical staff has also main
tained that the amount of the general
constitutional depression was out OF all
proportion TO the extent OF the local
disease that the latter would not OF
itself be the cause of the death unless by
the accidental erosion Of large artery
or possible strangulation from the sud
den separation of the slough. Both
these contingencies were guarded against
by every possible precaution Whlch conld
be taken. In the meantime, as the re-
suit of the most careful topical and gen.
eral treatment, the bodily strength OF the
patient was nurtured, his pain assuaged,
his sleep secured, and in this way his life
has been prolonged. At one time only
did death seem imminent from general
exhaustion and threatened heart failure,
and but for timely assistance would
probably have occurred. On no other
occasion has there been any cause for
alarm. The General has never been in
any danger from choking.
"General Grant is now stronger and
his physicians are neither dumbtounGed
nor surprised. 1t was as might have
been expected and all treatment has been
directed to that end. The slough has
nearly entirely separated from the throat,
and so far q source of immediate danger
has been removed, but the throat disease
is still there, although for the present it
is apparently quiescent. There is GER
tainly nothing in all this to prove any
error in diagnosis or prognosis, nor has
there been the slightest disagreement in
regard TO the management of the case.
The microscopic examination Of the
specimen removed from General Grants
throat has declared the disease to be
epithelioma.
"The representation of the appearances
has been widely published. has challeng-
ed every criticism from scientific sources
and not a microscopic in the land has
yet offered q protest Of the conclusion.
But epithelioma, barring accidents from
complications, is not very rapidly pro.
gressiye disease. It may continue for
months slowly eating its way into sur
rounding tissues without of itself killing
the patient.
ut must not be supposed that General
Grants physicians have neglected to
take into account every possible source
of error and have not treated the case
accordingly. Unfortunately the progress
of the throat trouble well.recogn ICED
methods of treatment has thus far not
been such as would lead them to believe
that the microscope was in error in con-
firming the original diagnosis"
That the General will survive the sum-
mer is the belief of those in position
to judge of the probabilities. He will,
it is thought, pass the summer without
relapse, but recurrence of cold weather
will perhaps effect change that il not
desirable TO anticipate at this time.

raE SAVANNAH VALLEY RAILROAD.

The contract which was concluded be.
tween the Directors Of the Savannah
Valley Railroad and President Raoul OF
the Georgia Central system in this city
on last Friday and Saturday, sets at rest
the doubts and fears which many of our
citizens have entertained upon the sub.
ject of the completion of the Savannah
Valley Railroad. The completion Of the
line from Anderson 10 McCormlck's is to
be undertaken by President Raoul at
once, and is to be concluded within three
Years as the limit, though there is little
doubt that the road will be running to
Anderson by tho first of September,
1886. Our people have worked faith.
fully, and done ali that was in our power
to compass this end, and it is q grea.
relief to know that after the burdens we
have assumed the benefts anticipated
are to be enjoyed SO soon. This contract
assures to our growing city competition
between two of the most extensive, pro-
gressive, independent and thoroughly
successful railroad systems in the South,
aud assures thereby The future growth
aud prosperity of our city, and the de-
velopmens Of the resources Of one Of the
most valuable and fertile portione of our
County and of the State. The conf
dencs which has been displayed in the
future of Anderson has not been mis-.
placed. The recent management of the
interests Of Anderson In this road has
been excellent. President Humphreys
and Col. Brown, who were specially
charged with the negotiation Of tho city
Of Anderson's subscription to tho road,
succeeded easily in placing onr bonds at
par, and close upon this President Hum.
phreys negotiated the contract for build.
ing the road. The Savannah Valley
road, which has been under contempla.
tion for forty !, 'rs, is now an assured
fact, and the city IF Anderson will now
turn her attention to other developments
necessary to keep pace with the wants
and capacities Of our business intereats.

Asking q Pardon For Ur. Davis.

Some comment has been made on the
report that the editor of the Meridou
Mercury has forwarded to President
Cleveland petition for tho pardon of
Jefferson Davis, which petition, it is
said, has been sent without consultation
with Mr.. Davis. Since the ratification
Of the fourteenth amendment, no pardons
of political nature have been issued by
the executive, congress having exercised
exclusive Jurisdiction in this respect.
The unvaring policy of congress has been
to pass no act removing political disabil.
tiles in the absence OF personal petition
to that effect. In the case of Mr.. Davis,
It has several times been contemplated
by his friends to bring forward a relief
bill, but the idea has after reflection been
abandoned as imrracticable.
