An OUTRAGEOUS Act.

The performance in the Ohio House
of Representatives yesterday, where
nine Democratic representatives were
expelled from their seats arbitrarily,
illegally, and without hearing, for no
other purpose than to make Republi-
can majority large enough to elect John
Sherman, was no more than what was
expected by the Plain Dealer.
The Republican party Of Ohio is now
controlled by desperate gang that has
neither sense Of justice, regard for law,
nor respect for decency. This gang is
in control Of the Legislature, and it will
perform according to its nature.
The Democrats asked for nothing but
a fair investigation into all the facts un-
der the forms Of law. They were re-
fused.
They were willing to allow the Re-
publicans to conduct the investigation,
and asked only fair hearing. They
were refused.
They asked that every allegation Of
fraud in the Cincinnati election might
be brought to light, and were willing to
abide by the result. They were re-
fused.
They only asked that the whole truth
in regard to the Cincinnati elections
might be brought out, and were willing
to stand or fall with it. They were re-
fused.
They were refused a hearing, refused
permission to present their case, refused
a defense, refused justice, refused their
rights. John Sherman distrusted his
own supporters. He feared his ma
jority on joint ballot would not hold
together. Right or wrong, justice or
injustice, John Sherman must have
majority large enough to make him Sc
cure. Everything must bend to that,
and the infamy was perpetrated.
The Republican majority in the
House by this act has made precedent
that the Republican party in Ohio may
come to repent in bitterness. 1t has
said that the end justifies any means,
and majority may do anything that it
has the power to do.
1t is a dark precedent that. 1t means
that any revolutionary proceeding may
be justified to secure partisan ad-
vantage, that minorities have no rights,
and that there is no force in precedent
or in law to prevent a majority from
doing anything that it may expedient
to do.
That is Republican doctrine and has
always been, but never before so openly,
so brutally svowed. 1t teaches disre-
gard for law and contempt for authority.
1t is the spirit that leads to revolution
and anarchy.
II is dark and dangerous doctrine

NEWS FROM ILL POINTS.

The Thrilling Adventure OF an Aged Eastern
shore Fisherman, Three Nights on TOP or
His sbaniy.
(Corresponden ofthe Richmond Dispatch
ONANcoCK, January Is, 1886.
Among the many incidents Of the
recent high tides in the northwestern
part Of Accomack may be mentioned
the remarkable escape Of an old fisher
man named Edward Mister, who lives
on Chesconnessex creek, some miles
north of this place. On last Friday
the old man went to his shanty on the
beach of Pocomoke sound. When
night came on he anchored his boat
and went into camp, having only enough
provisions to last till the following eve
ming. About III o'clock at night the
wind shifted to the southwest and began
to blew a gale, while the tide continued
to rise at frightful rate. Soon the wa
tiers came up into his shanty, putting
out the fire and dashing everything about
in wild confusion. He was finally forced
to climb up to the rafters, where he
spent the night in dreadful suspense
and momentary expectation of death.
Daylight dawned, but the storm con-
tinued to rage and the waters
refused to subside. Looking out
through the cracks in his shanty, he
saw that his boat had been broken in
two by the water. 1t was now in
tensely cold, and all hope of escape
seemed to be gone. Saturday passed
and still no help came. The whole
country seemed to be covered with one
vast sheet of water, and the wind was
blowing fiercely from the northwest.
Saturday night and Sunday were passed
in this lonesome shanty, and the old
man was about to give up all for lost
when he conceived the idea Of crossing
over to the land on the ice which had
now formed over the water that
lay between him and the shore.
But the ice would not bear him,
and he was forced to return and spend
Sunday night in his dreary shanty,
which had almost succumbed to the
power Of the water. Early Monday
morning, nearly frozen and half fam
ished, the old man made his way over
the ice and walked seven or eight miles
to his home, where he is now enjoying
the pleasure OF his fireside, and relating
to bis friends his miraculous adventure
and escape.
Mr. Mister is nearly seventy years
old, and has braved the perils of the
deep for more than half a century, but
be says that the tide on the bay side of
Accomack last Friday night was the
highest that he has ever seen.

Hon. EDWARD ATKINSON, of Bos-
ton, said recently in speech on silver,
&C., as to silver dollars;
"They are silver greenbacks, equal
for the moment to the purchasing pow
er of gold, because they are practically
redeemed in gold by way Of the Urea
sury of the United States. How long
can you keep them at par? That is
the question. This is the doubt which
to-day stops all enterprise and leads
men to wait"
Letus settle that question. Authorize
silver to be coined free as gold is now
coined-that is, everybody who owns
gold can take it to the mint and have it
coined into money-and we shall soon
settle the question. 1t could be done
in q month if Mr.. ATKINSON is not
mistaken in his theories on the SUBJ
ject, and then business could 60 on.

Of Detective ALI. Burnett, Of
Charleston, to investigate tho sx-
act state Of the young lsdy's
affairs and Of Blanc's connection with
them. Before Captain Burnett would
accept this piece Of work he exactsd
from Mile. Paula contract giving the
entire right and authority to settle her
business with Blanc to him. The Sc
quel proved the necessity OF this pre-
caution. Captain Burnett has secured
from Mr.. Blanc the admission that the
young lady is to receive small annuity.
He argues that it is strange that Mr..
Trafford, after supporting her in life
of ease and luxury, and educating her.
as a lady, should cut her off with q
mere bsgatelle in his will.
An intimacy grew ur between DIR.
Niles and Mile. Paula, and one evening
she left the Mount to come to the city,
ostensibly to remain over night with one
Of the pupils. Instead Of this, she
went to DIR. Niles's Office, leaving her
companion, the pupil referred to, in the
drugstore below, where she waited until
her patience was exhausted. She then
went home and informed her father,
who very commercially caused the
facts to be communicated to Bishop
Kahn.
TAKEN FROM THE OFFICE.
In the meant time DR.. Niles had regis
tered his fair visitor at the Mcclure
House, but after she was assigned a
room she again left the hotel with DR..
Niles. At q late hour that night Bishop
Kahn, accompanied by prominent Ca
tholic gentleman Of the city, visited DR..
Niles's office and demonstrated with
both upon their indiscretion. The young
lady professed to realize her folly,
and went with the Bishop to the St.
James Hotel, where she remained
until morning. OF course her return
to Mt. de Chantal was impossi-
BILE. The next day she left for
Pittsburgh, ostensibly to visit Mr.. Hop
kins's family. A week or so later she
returned and boarded at Mrs. Patter-
sons on Main street. Her conduct
there was more than circumspect, and
she impressed all by her ladylike de-
pertinent, and almost child-like simpli-
city Of character. From here she again
departed, going to New Comerstown,
Ohio, and from their to Uhrichsville, at
both of which places she was visited
by DR.. Niles. From the latter place
she went to Pittsburgh, where she was
married by Rev. DR.. Nevin Woodside,
one Sunday night at the stroke of II,
to DR.. Niles.
DR.. Niles attempted to bride Cath
Ollie clergyman from here to 60 to Pitts
burgh and marry him, but his offer was
rejected with Indignation and scorn.
Lack Of space forbids any elaboration
upon these strangely romantic details at
this time. Doubtless, however, the case
is destined to take up good share OF
public attention before the matter is
finally lost sight of,

CLARKsvILLE, VA, Jan. 9, 1886.
At meeting of the taxpayers of
GAINESVILLE, Mecklenburg county, held
on the 9th day of January, 1886, for
the purpose Of expressing their views
with reference to the sale of land for
back taxes. on motion of Thomas Viii.
liams, Mr.. T. +. Humphreys was
called to the chair and Mr.. Thomas
Easley made secretary. The meeting
was composed Of gentlemen represent
ing nearly all of the business interests
Of the town, and they but voice the
universal sentiment Of the people of the
town and vicinity in passing with one
voice the following resolutions:
l. Resolved, That the people Of this
town and vicinity have been proverbal-
ly prompt in paying their taxes, and
that it would be the very maturity Of
injustice to hold their property liable
for taxes which in many cases date back
ten or fifteen years.
2. It would be an intolerable hard
ship should our lawmakers allow these
back-taxes to be made out Of parties
who have already pail the same, or
who have purchased property subject
to this encumbrance without any know
ledge Of the same, or any adequate
means of finding out that it existed.
3. That it would be wrong and I'M
just to saddle this liability, not IN
Cured, upon prompt taxpayers, IN
consequence Of few laggards who
may not have paid their taxes.
4. That it would be but placing q
premium upon the negligence of our
collectors of taxes in this Common
wealth, at the expense of the prompt
taxpayers, to let these matters, that
have slept to forgetfulness, DO now
brought up.
5. That in the judgment Of this meet
ing the most glazing feature Of the IN
iquity is heapipg the measure Of WRONG
by adding interest on these tax sc.
counts as a reward to faithlessnesS Of
those who should have but who failed
to collect the same.
6. That this meeting, with one voice,
would most respectfully urge upon our
senator to DO all in his power to pass a
bill providing, at least, that no back
taxes shall be collected that were as
sessed previous to 1850, as the period
of five years lisa long as person would
be reasonably expected to keep his tax
receipts.
:. That a copy Of these resolutions
be sent to our senator and to one or more
of the county papers and to the Dis
patch and state, of Richmond, with ;
request that they publish the same.
Upon motion, the Chair appointed
Thomas Williams, w. ID. Blanks, Phil
Allcott, John r. Leigh, A. W. Magee
and Thomas Easley committee to con
fer with taxpayers of the county al
to unite and cooperate with them II
