Alliance Mon Against Palmer.

SPRINGFIELD, H., Jan. 15.-The
standing Of the three farmer members
of the lower house OF the General AS
sembly in the coming Senatorial fight
is no longer one of uncertainty. While
it is not yet known who their candi-
date will be, it is certain that it Will
not be John NJ. Palmer. Representa-
tive Cockrell says that under no cir
cumstances would he or his colleagues
support Palmer. They had no objec-
ton to Palmer, except that he stands
on the old Democratic doctrine that
the government can make nothing le-
gal tender but gold and silver. We
say. added Cockrell, that gold and Sill
yer as circulating medium for the
development of our country is made
quate. What We desire is a per capita
circulation. and we want an American
system Of finance. We have come to
the conclusion that money IS neither
silver nor gold Dor any other material:
If Palmer is elected he would spend
his six years in Washington fighting
the tariff measure, while the money
trust is squeezing our values and profits
into their incomes and robbing US all
of our homes. We will elect our man
or force the Democratic or Republican
party to adopt our policy.

January 10 and the latter that of Jan

uary I.
Gen. Bonham telegraphed for Col.
Aldrich, his brother-in-law, and he ar
rived on the night train from BarnWell.
He was met at the depot by Gen. Far
ley and taken at once to the Executive
mansion, where he held conference
with the Governor.
After the consultation Col. Aldrich
called at the Bureau and stated that
Gen. Bonham would tomorrow give to
the press full statement of his side
of the case. He will no doubt make
frank acknowledgment of the use OF
the money and assume the conse-
Quences.
In an official way the above is COM
plete statemen of the whole case, and
there was little more to add. The
matter In some way became known
among many citizens this afternoon,
and it was freely discussed in all its
bearings.
Gen. Bonham was visited at his resi-
dcnce tonight by The News and Cou-
rier's representative, and the columns
of the paper offered him to make any
statement he might desire. He was
found in bed, and said he was suffering
from the grip. When told that the
Governor had given the statements
out for publication he seemed very
much surprised. He thanked the Re.
porter for calling, but said he had
nothing more to say.-NeWs and Cou.

ys sprrennd The Indians.

PINE RIDGE, Jan. 9.-Yesterday
evening all the commands in the field
were ordered to march from three to SIX
miles nearer the hostiles. Last night
the order was putin effect. 1t OF course
attracted the attention of the Indians.
At intervals of two or three days the
Gordon will be drawn more tightly round
the hostiles until they agree either to
come in peaceable or be whipped into
submission.
The reluctance they display to accept
the overtures of General Miles are sus-
ceptible of but one Interpretation and
that is that they propose to surrender
and retain their arms or die IN their de-
fence.
This is backed up by the tact that the
majority ofthose who have come in from
the hostiles are squaws and children,
who it is desired to get out Of the way.
Some bucks come in occasionally. They
domesSicate with the alleged Friendlles
and at the same time retain the feeling
of hostility which impelled them to flee
from the agency.
The coming in Of Red Cloud is varl-
ously interpreted. His good faith is
doubted by many because it is well
known that he could not have stolen
away at night, for the hostiles desired
to retain him In their midst.

A Negro Colonization Project.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Senator Teller
of Colorado to-day introduced bill, by
request, in behalf of the African.Amer-
lean Colonization Society Of the Dis
trict of Columbia. Accompanying the
bill is long petition setting forth 9
desire on the part of a large number Of
colored people to settle in Lower Cali
fornia, and they ask the government to
lend them money for period Of forty
years, at the smallest rate of interest
possible. In Lower California the petit
TONERS believe they have at last dis
covered their Utopia, and have aband-
oned the Liberia-Congo colonization
proposition. They claim that it is diff
ficult for them to get along with the
white people, as the latter insist upon
keeping them down and preventing
their progress. They cite Hayti and
Jamaica to show that the negro can
prosper by himself if afforded sufficient
opportunity. The bill and petition was
referred to the committee on foreign
relations.

culosls cure Of DR.. Shurly, of Detroit.
He has fifteen patients under treatment,
and during the two weeks he has been
using the cure he says signs eflmprove-

tonight that unless he was mistakes DR..
Shurly had discovered specific for the
most dreaded Of all known diseases.
Some OF his patients, he said, were in
the last stage of the disease, all of them
having tuberculosis in a pronounced
form. One patient who two weeks ago
was wasting rapidly, now coughs great
deal less. Another patient. who ten
days ago was breaking down very fast
and losing flesh, besides exhibiting
other terrible signs Of disease, has gained
two pounds under the new treatment.

The Fight for Connecticut.

HARTFORD, CT: January l3.-The
Senate this afternoon took the action
that has been so long threatened, and
swore in the Democratic candidates to
the State offices.
The Senate sent special committee
to Governor Buckley inv::::aas nlm to be
present at t!l..S Inauguration of his sue
cessor. He told the committee that he
would not recognize the authority Of one
branch of the Assembly to actin the
matter and warned them that they do so
at their individual peril.
Senator Shumway protested against
the resolution Of the Senate which de-
clared the officers elected, for the yeas
and nays. The vote was l6 yeas, all
Democrats nays, Republicans. Sem
ator Cleveland, of Hartford, a Demo
crat, retired from the Senate at the time
of the vote, and it is understood that he
did not favor action at that time.
After this was done the Senate ad-
journed to meet next Tuesday. The per-
sous who had taken the oath visited the
different offices and made demand for
them. but the incumbents re-
fused to give them up until it was shown

THE CLEMSON COLLEGE.
The Agricultural Department to be
Brought Closer to the People.

ANDERSON, S. c., Jan. ll.-In its
last issue the Peoples Advocate pub
lished the following: In the course OF a
personal interview with Col. r. W.
Simpson, the President of the Board OF
Trustees of the Clemson College, he
said that it is the purpose ofthe board to
to bring the Agricultural Departmental
more direct contact with the people, and
make it medium Of communication
with the people, in keeping them post
ed on all matters pertaining to agricul-
ture and the experiments Of that rature
conducted at the college, and that it will
be the aim Of this department to put it
self in close touch with the people by
holding farmers Institutes during the
summer vacation.
1t is a well known fact that the items
of board and tuition is what debars
many poor youth Of ability from en-
tering college. and it is OF this line that
Clemson proposes to offer superior ad-
vantages 10 the sons Of poor men by
reason oft handsome income of about
$4,000, not a dollar Of which is raised
by taxation, and the handsome real es-
tate property which it owns. consisting
ofan immence body of the finest lands
il the Piedmond belt, upon which it IS
proposed to raise the larger part of the
supplies ofthe mess hall table and thus
furnish beard to the students at a min
imum cost, it is thought not to exceed
So or ST per month. In addition to
this, provision will be made for students
to pay part Of this by laboring a GER
tain number Of hours daily in the field,
and furthermore it Is proposed to keep
large number Of sheep on the farm,
from the sale of the wool Of which 1t is
proposed to furnish clothing fund to
aid poor young men in supplying them
selves with clothing. No young man
who wishes to acquire a chronological
training will be permitted to leave the
college without having his education
developed along other lines which go to
make up well rounded, practical man.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Board is somewhat embarrassed, by
reason of the failure of the Legislature
to appropriate the 100000 asked for to
complete the buildings at once, it IS con-
templated to fill the faculty in June and
open the college for students on the first
Of October, using as class rooms and
dormitories such buildings as will them
be completed, and erect the NAN build
inc during the following year.
Col. Simpson also stated to US that
despite certain publications to the con.
trary not single member OF the board
has received Or will receive a single
cent as compensation for services rem
dered, they being entirely gratultous,
and it is a matter Of great surprise that
the statement should have been made n
certain papers that the Board Of Trus-
tees had voted to pay the three mem,
bers Of the Board of Control salary Of
$4,000 each. There is not a syllable ol
truth IN the entire statement, as they
give their services to the college.

SUING ON CONFEDERATE BONDS.
The Wild Goose Chase Of Hollander
Living In Glasgow.

BALTIMORE, January S.-JacQues
Van Raalte, native Of the city Of Rot
terdam, Holland, but residing and doing
business in Glasgow, Scotland, where
ne also represents the Netherlands as
consul, to-day instituted suit in the Cir
cult Court of the United States for the
district of Maryland by w. Starr Gep-
hart, his solicitor, against James G..
Blaine. as Secretary OF State o. the Uni-
ted States Of America.
The bill sets forth thatIEm II. Sc
ward, when Secretary of State, issued
on July %, 1868, proclamation which
recited that neither tho United States
nor any State shall pay any dept or OBJ
legation incurred in aid of insurrection
Or rebellion against the United States,
but all such debts shall be held illegal
and void"
Prior to July %, 1868, the plaintiff
purchased for theic full value 1925, 900
of negotiable coupon bonds issued by the
Southern States as joint and several OBJ
legations, and he contends that the proc
lamation was illegal. in that it included
past debts Or obligations, and Secretary
Seward's proclamation contained an I'M
piled admission that without such pro-
hibition the States referred to would owe
just and valid obligation.
The plaintiff seeks an entrance into
Court TO prove, first that the proclama-
ton obliges the Secretary Of State to
take the curious position that although
the States never lost their status in the
Union, yettheir obligations could be an
nulled as if they had, and second that
the State obligations already incurred
could be thus repudiated and vested
rights taken away.
The plaintiff also claims that belng-a
citizen of Great Britain and Holland
such acts on the part Of tbs-Secretary OF
State were also illegaland void, because
1t was interference with his rights as a
citizen Of a foreign country, between
which and the Gnited States treaty stlp-
ulations existed that protected him.
Ths>suit is to recover for destroying
, the value of negotiable bonds and their
coupons. Interest is also claimed on
the bonds, amounting to the same as the
principal, the total amount being $780,
1000. Gephart says that as the Govern
Emept OF the United States cannot be sued,
| it was necessary to proceed against its
officer, the Secretary of State. In that
respect he thinks the suit involves the
same principle as some Of the recent
suits against the officers of the State OF
| yr;-oioio

Tho Ruiaed Cities of Yucatan,

CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-There are between
sixty and seventy ruined cities in Yu-
catan, so far as they have been discover
ed. Within a radius of one hundred
miles from Merida are such magnificent
examples as Mayapan, AXE, Chicken
liza, Rabah and Labna, but none is
more interesting and grand than Uxmal,
about seventy-six miles by road travel
from Merida.
BY far the finest building in the city,
both from its commanding position on a
lofty eminence and the completeness of
its preservation, is the Royal Palace,
otherwise known as the Casa de GOber-
nador in Spanish 1t stands on the top
most of three terraces of earth-once,
perhaps, faced with stone, but now
crumbled, broken and in state OF hetero-
geneous decay. The lowermost and lar
gest is 57l5 feet long; the second 545 long,
25O wide 25 feet high, while the third
and last is $50 feet in length, 80 in
breadth and IS in height, and supports
the building, which has front OF 322
feet, with depth Of only 80 feet and a
height of but 25 feet.
It is entirely of stone, without orna-
ment to a height of about ten feet, where
there is a wide cornice, about which the
wall is a bewildering maze Of sculpture.
The roof was flat and once covered with
cement, in the opinion of some travel,
lers, but Is now covered with tropical
plants, trees and yerdure There are
three large doorways through the east
ern wall about eight feet square, giving
entrance into series of apartments, the
largest Of which is sixty feet long and
twenty feet deep, divided into two
rooms by thick wall. The ceiling of
each room is a triangular arch, capped
by that flat block at a height Of twenty
three feet above the floor The latter,
like the walls and jambs of the doorway,
is Of smooth faced stones that have once
been covered with cement.-Tribune.
