THE LOWRY PASS.

The special which our New Or
leans correspondent sent us last
night, and which we publish in
another column this morning,
sweeps away all doubt as to Gov.
Lowry's having a pass over the
Illinois Central Railroad. E. T.
Jeffery, vice-president Of that road,
says he has such a pass as the Gov
ernors Of Louisiana, Illinois and
Iowa also have. Mr.. Jeffery
makes in this a very naive comics,
sion, in view Of the statutes Of the
several States through which his
road passes and with the penalties
Of the interstate commerce law
staring him in the face. But Low.

While we are not in sympathy
with tho war wsged on the Indus

Frank Burkitt, of the Chickasaw

some friend of the College, who in
his zeal 10 belittle Capt. Burkitt,
has slandered his daughter, by
purportng to give conversation

military affairs, reported bill author.

mont as major-general.
On the private calendar, Peel, CT
Arkansas, called up, and the House
passed a bill for the adj Indication OF
claims for all settlers on the West
| Cherokee Indians claim. The amount
involved is $40, 900.
The House then proceeded. in COM
mittee of the whole, in the considera
ton of the Oklahoma bill.
Payson, of Illinois, offered an amend
ment providing that the rights of hor-
orable Union soldiers to make homes
on public lands under the existing
homestead laws, shall not in any degree
be impaired by the bill, and that their
rights under those laws shall extend to
the lands open
TO SETTLEMENT UNDER ITS PROVISIONS
Weaver inquired who was to pay for
the land.
Payson replied that the government
would pay for it. This was the first
time IN lana leglslaIlOnS tnaC Ine rlgnts
of soldiers under the homestead law had
been sought to be impaired. He made
the prediction that if a Yea" and
may" vote were taken on the amend
ment the 5gentleman from Illinois
(Springer) would not dare vote against
it.
SpRINGER-I will vote against it, anG
on a YEA" and may" vote. [ nevel
heard proposition more demagogica
and inconsistent than your proposition
is; and you know it.
Ryan said his colleague was glib il
imputing motives to other men. H'
J must insist on the rights, not only o
the Union soldiers, but
OF THE 1ANDLEss POOR
Everywhere, to have a free home if the,

endured the privatIons which they
would have to undergo in settling on
land; but he insisted that before the
general question was passed upon,
| Union soldiers should have free homes
upon this last great body eff laud to be
opened to general settlement.
Weaver yielded to no member in his
! devotion to the men who carried The
| flag in the late war, but this amend
ment was proposition to stab the bill
in the name of the Union soldier. He
protested against dishonoring the
Union soldiers by placing them in
THE ATTITUDE OF MENDICANTs.
Warner, OF Missouri, believed the
men who fought the battles of the
country simply asked justice at the
hands of Congress. They were not here
as beggars, ana ne hoped TO God they
would never be. Democratic applause
Cutcheon, of Michigan, inquired
whether the gentleman was opposed to
granting the Union soldiers the same
rights in Ok ahoma IS they enjoyed n
other p u tions of the public don. ain.
Warner replied that when the Sioux
reservation bill was before the House he
had not heard the voice of the gentle
man from Michigan (Cutcheon) raised
in bshalf of the Union soldiers. He
was opposed to the amendment. In the
interest of the Union soldiers ne was
opposed to it.
Peters, of Kansas, said he had
LARGER SOLDIER CONSTITUENCY
than any other member of the House,
and he had never heard a request from
any soldier that such amendment
should be placed on the bill.
Henderson, of Illinois, thought the
soldier did not understand the provi-
sions of the bill, and would be dis.
appointed if the bill passed in it's
present shape, to find they would be
prevented from going on the Oklahoma
lands, as they did on other public
lands. 1t looked to him, sometimes, as
If land spectators had more to do with
this bill than bona tide settlers did.
Springer thought the amendment
came from those DESTROYS of keening
the land for cattle syndicates. Finally.
without action on the amendment, the
committee rose, and Dockery, retiring
chairman, called on ButterWorth to
preside as speaker. This was the sig
nal for round of applause from both
sides OF the chan Der, which was re-
newed when DockeIy, in making his
report. addressed Butterworth as Mr..
Speaker. The House then adjourned
and Democratic caucus was announced
for to night.

Despite the warnings ~
Qiven.the negro ex -convicts, doubt
iuatigated ~ their white radical
bosses, have taken the registration
oath. thereby knowingly and viii
liuely committing ths detested and
dets6iable crime Of perjury. Every
rect ID Buncombe is known,
and when one Of them takes the
fegi Ration oath he may depend
u5o Ii that he will be psosecuted
Is ths full Sc the .saw. Those
that have already taken the oath
and registered will be arrested as
soon as they can be found by the
officers of the law, and their prelimi-
nary examination held before some
committing magistrate~of the coun>
ty. The first arrest made because
Of a violation of the registration laws,
was effected yesterday, and James
Porter, colored, was the unlucky
wight who was scooped in. Porter
is an ex-convict from Buncombe,
and was sentenced to one years i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary by
Judge Avery at the November term
of Superior court, in the year 1873,
for larceny. Mr.. Thos. A. Jones
represented the State, MIR. P. A.
Cummings appeared for the defense,
and Justice c. B. Way heard the
testimony in the case. Col. J. NJ.
Israel, G. w. Malone, N. A. Rey'
nolds and T.C. St. rms were the
witnesses introduced by the
State. The records of the court
was also introduced as evidence
The defence introduced no evidence
a. all. Mr.. Jones explained the law
ON the subject in very clear and
forcibIe speech, and Mr.. Cummings
labored hard to convince the Justice
that James Porter had no intention
of committing perjury. The evil
dence was clear that James had
committed perjury, and Justice
Way bound him over in tine sum
of two hundred dollars for his ap-
pearance at the next term of the.
Inferior court, to answer to the |
charge of perjury. Up to the time
this article was written none of Por-
ter's white republican brethren had
to go on his bond, thus
again establishing their undying
love % for their negro brother. AS |
we said before, other negro ex-
convicts who have taken the regis
tration oath will he arrested as soon
rs thy can be. found. Wkrrasi'e:
have been sworn out against theGs.
and James Porter will have plenty
OF company in his hour of trouble, |
brought about by the dirty schemes
of the white radical leaders who
profess to be such steadfast friends
ofthe blessed, down-trodden color5d
man. The negroes OF Buncombe
have another lesson On the subject
of white radical hypoc isy set be-
fore them in this matter. Will they
profit by it? We shall see. |
Again, we warn registrars of cleo
ton to be on their guard against all |
lowing ex>convicts, white or black,
to register.
