AMNESTY To DEsERTERs.
The Obiect Of the Law Passed 10y Cong

NEW YORK, July IA scsndalous
story is printed by the Mail and Express
from it's correspondent at Washington
This correspondent alleges that the OBJ
ject Of the law recently passed giving
amnesty to deserters from the regular
army was to clear up the record of
certain wealthy gentleman formerly in
the army, but who deserted a generation
or more ago, and has since been in con-
slant terror lest he be apprehended and
imprisoned. The journal continues:
''Ihere are thousands of others to whom
the law is great relief and who could
not have commanded influence to secure
such legislation. In the early days of
the gold excitement it was difficult to
keep men in the army and many enlisted
solely for the purpose of free transporta-
ton to California, Nevada and Colorado,
and soon deserted and took refuge in the
mining districts. 1t is said there are
thousands of such men in the West.
wealthy and prosperous, and some are
worth large sums of money. who have all
their lives been in constant danger of
arrest and have been the victims of
blackmail. An old artillery officer told
me he met in California not long ago
wealthy man who formerly had been
member of his company and deserted in
1850, went to the mines, got rich, and
was now highly respected, but lived in
terror. The same officer knew another
rich man in the State whose circum-
stances were similar He had paid
thousands upon thousands of dollars in
blackmail, Some of the richest and best
men in Arizona are down on the army
records as absent without leave. These
men can now 20 to the nearest military
post. surrender themselves. and get a
discharge without anybody being the
wiser"

THE FEDERAL ELECTION Law.
More Republlcans opposed Go Il

More Republicans opposed Go IL.
WASHINGTON. July In the House
Dickinson, Of Kentucky, successor to
Carlisle, was sworn lie.
Debate on the Federal Election bill
was resumed, Herbert, of Alabams, be
ing accorded the foor. Herbert dwelt
on the history of the reconstruction pc
Rod and said at that time the negro had
been taught to distrust the Southern
white men. The negro was now learn
ing that it was not for his interest to ar
ray himself solidly against the white
man was doing everything in bis power
to teach the negro this lesson. II the
South was allowed to work out the prob
lem for itself the time would come soon
when the negro, being educated as the
white man was, would be able to take
care OF himself, both as a taxpayer and
as citizen.
Houk Tenn said his advocacy of this
national election law did not grow out of
any supposed emergency or necessity,
notwithstanding there were variety of
reasons Why the power of the government
should be asserted. 1t is claimed that
harm would result from honest election.
Had the Democrats from the South prac-
ticed dishonest elections so long that it
would break their hearts to have to stop
them /! II was said that the bill was
caused by race prejudice. 1t was not
race prejudice. The Democrats who
were combating it were doing so from pc.
litical prejudice. The objection was not
that the colored man was black but that
he voted the Republican ticket.
Coleman, of Ls., announced himself
Republican, both from conviction and
principal. A Southern man by birth,
education and association, he opposed the
enactment OF the Federal Election law at
this time. He would heartily support q
National Election bill if be thought it's
enactment would secure an honest ballot,
but the supposition that the passage of
such measure at this time would have
this effect, was based on false impress
sions and on ignorance Of the true state
of affairs 10 some portions of the South.
He did not wish to stimulate any trouble
and be was as certain that trouble and
bloodshed would follow the enactment of
this legislation aud that the law would
fail in its purpose. as he was that he
would vote against it in this House. He
wanted TO see the soidity of the South
broken and there were signs of disinteg-
ration in the Democratic party of the
| House. Pass the Federal Election law
and men who were now ready to sepa-
rate from the Democratic party would
go back into what they were told was
the white mans party rather than risk
negro supremacy.

CALIFORNIA SHEEP COMING.
Are They Like Drummers. Exempt From
Taxation

8
Taxation ?
The papers published 10 the California
counties on the eastern slope of the ST.
ezra Nevada say more sheep have been
started up the mountains on the Califor-
MIA side than ever before. They will de-
scend into the valleys on this side in the
latter part Of this month eating every
thing before them and when they have
laid bare the border counties of Nevada
they will be driven back to Winter west
of the Sierra Nevada.
The question suggests itself, Is there
not some way Of taxing those focks that
are driven from another State here to
pasture in the Summer! 1t is hardly
possible that sheep, like drummers, are
exempt from taxation under the ruling
of the Supreme Court, though 1t would
not appear any more illogical to exempt
from taxation California sheep coming to
Nevada than to compel home merchant
to pay license for selling what q New
York. Chicago or San Francisco travel
ing salesman is permitted to do without
q license.

the three resulted in a unanimous
opinion that they had a case of genuine

at once taken 20 prevent a further

Hamilton has no idea where be con-

must have been IN contact, somewhere,

theory Is that the infection was taken
from one OF the freight cars in which
