UNDER THE OLD CHARTER.
The People OF Clarksviile, Indiana, In
a State Of Mind.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. 1.-The people
of the town of GAINESVILLE, Ind. which is
situated between Jacksonville and New
Albany, on the Ohio river, are in great
state of agitation from various causes.
One is the seizure of their streets by rail-
roads, the State and other paI ties. They
mean to protest vigorously. A move
ment is now on foot to organize and hold
an election to send delegates to the Ma
tional Congress and demand admission as
Territory or district under the old Vir-
ginia charter, which they hold is still in
force. GAINESVILLE, next to Vincennes, is
the oldest town in Indiana. In October,
1888, Virginia caused a town to be sur
veyed on the north bank of the falls of
the Ohio, described as being situated in
the county of Illinois. This was to be
laid off in a reservation of 100, 900 acres,
granted to General Roger Clark and his
men and officers, who marched with him
and reduced the British posts of Kaskas-
kia and Vincennes. The fee simple,
together with the government of the
town, was vested in ten trustees. March
/, 1884, Thomas jefferson. Arthur Lee,
James Monroe and Samuel Hardy, in be-
half of Virginia, executed deed trans
ferring to the United States all the title
of Virginia to the Northwest territory,
but especially excepting the rights of set
tiers under the grant to General Clark,
known as the Illinois grant. II is main
tanned that the claim will have a strong
showing before the Supreme Court

relative to the discovery OF grave defects

Harner aorgeously Treated.

Columbus special: Considerable ad-
verse criticism is being INDUCED in con
corning tho royal manner in which Il.
Harper, the convicted vice-president OF
the defunct Fidelity bank, is being
treated by the Ohio penitentiary au-
thorities. The prison rules are being
arranged, it seems, for his special
benefit, and he endures but few OF the
rigors of confinement. Contrary to oil
custom the distinguished criminal has
not SO far been compelled to feel the
disgrace of having his hair and mustache
clipped, and they remain as luxuriant AS
when he was at the head If the Fidelity.
The officials say the shaving will not be
done for some time. He INDUCES but
little in the coarse fare of the prison,
but is supplied from the good tables OF
his family in Cincinnati and to all out
ward appearances does not in the least
suffer from his condition. He has the
run OF the institution, gong whittier he
will, and in order that the time may
not be too heavily upon his hands, he
does a bit of clerical work in the office
of Secretary Clement His cell is fitted
no in royal style, although when he was
first admitted he was informed that he
would be allowed nothing beyond what
was furnished all prisoners by the state.
Why such discrimination should be
made in his favor, both as to food and
treatment, is question generally being
discussed by those who know OF the un-
usual proceeding.
