called her home, leaving him with two
sons and one daughter, The sons both
soon followed their mother the daugh.

Again, on the 18th of December
1857 at Block House, Va, he was
married to Fannie r. Anderson, who
died the 4th of July, 1874, leaving him
with two daughters and one son, all
of whom survive him. His last wife
was a sister Of the late Joseph r, An.

He was a man of quiet, retiring
disposition, a devoted husband and
kind father, ever patient and gentle
in his family a man of pure moral
character and Of spotloss integrity
His neighbors ever found in him an
obliging and true friend, ever ready to
extend helping hand. He was ener.

Mr. Hughes was an exemplary
Christian, having been a member Of

That Three C,s Suit.

News and Courier.
The report that suits had been en-
tered against the Three C's Road
which would effect its ownership was
published for what it was worth in
the News and Courier The question,
however, was asked in the News and
Courier whether it was a hoax ora
bluff.
1t appears to have been both, with
dash of something else. A telegram
received yesterday by Mr.. W. S. Bird,
OF this city, from Vice'P President Bent
ley, Of the Three C's Road, in Cincin-
natl, stated that there was nothing in
the report, and that he considered it
"bluh." 1t appears that the suit
contemplated does not in any way
affect the ownership OF the road, be-
ing merely claim for compensation.
EVERY INDICATION THAT THE ROAD is
ALIVE, VIGOROUS AND ACTIVE.

Ar Address to the country.

Memphis Ayelonche.l
The Northern Democratic members
of the House Of Representatives have
issued an address to the voters OF the
United States without regard to party,
on the subject Of the Federal election
bill pending in Congress. After re-
viewing the bill and the constitution.
al objections to it, the address con-
cludes;
In view Of the great danger to the
rights and liberties Of the people and
principle Of seli-goyerment involved
in this bill, we respectfully appeal to
American ireemen, without regard to
party, to enter timely protest, by way
of public meeting or otherwise,
against this consolidation Of govern
ment, the destruction Of popular rights
and the very foundation Of American
liberty, for we indulge no rhetorical
flourish when we solemnly affirm on
our loyalty as citizens and on our
honor as representatives that the var
ious and unpatrioic measure ID n
most serious menace to the very lie
of the Republic.
The issue is, shall political party
elect itself and keep in power by paid
agents who are to- control the pOlili-
cal elections in all the States?
1t is in fact, a measure Of the deep
est concern to the whole American
people, without respect to party, be.
cause it is blow at liberty, when
the liberty Of all is in danger 1t is q
matter Of right and justice and civil
lization. The passage Of such a bill
would he gross wrong, unjust and
an attact upon civilization. II the
situation was known and appreciated
in the North, our faith in the An.
glo Saxon race is strong enough 70
make us believe that there would be 4
protest so loud and deep against this
infamous measue that the Republ
cans in Congress would vie with eacl
other in opposing it.

San Francisco Chronicle,
The salt mountains located on the
banks Of the Rio Virgin, an ailluent Of
the Colorado river in Lincoln county,
cover an area Of twenty-five miles, ex-
tending to within seven miles of the
junction OF that stream with the Colo
RADIO. The salt they contain is pure
and white, and clearer than glass, and
it is said that a piece seven or eight
inches thick is sometimes clear enough
to see through to read newspaper.
Over the salt is layer of sandstone
from two to eight feet thick, and when
this is torn away the salt appears like
a huge snowdrift. How deep it is has
not yet been ascertained, but a single
blast Of gun-powder will blow out tons
Of it. Under the cap rock have been
discovered charred wood and charcoa
and mating made of cedar bark
which the salt has preserved, evident
ly the camp Of prehistoric man.
