GOV. Brown Replies.

Gov. O'Ferrall has received from
Gov. Brown, of Maryland, reply to
his letter recently sent by Col. Coward
in with reference to the oyster contro-
versy. After acknowledging the re-
ceipt of the letter and expressing his
qualification that the committee and
the Governor had decided to restore
the captured vessels, Governor Brown
says:
81 accept with pleasure your express
sion of regret that the Chesapeake in
the pursuit of these vessels invaded the
Maryland territory and captured these
vessels within our borders. And | cor.
daily reciprocate the expressions OF
YOUR desire that this occurrence shallin
no wise disturb the cordial and friend
lv feelings that have so long existed
between Virginia and Maryland. the
continuance OF which is so important to
the best interests of both of these Com
monwealths.
"Inasmuch as you have decided to
surrender the two vessels in question, |
do not see that am called on to dis
cuss the point as to whether any cir
cumstances can arise under which the
pursuit into Maryland waters and the
capture there of Maryland vessels can be
lawful: but in order that this waiver
on my part of discussion OF this
matter may not be misinterpreted,
it is due to candor to say that cannot
admit the correctness of the general
doctrine upon the subject which you
announce. Upon the general question
at issue between Maryland and Vir-
GINA, it is proper to say, in justice to
the citizens of Maryland, whose con-
duct you so severely denounce, that in
dredging the waters of Tangier and
Pocomoke Sounds they have been only
exercising right which has long been
claimed BY them, and which had not
been finally decided against them at
the time of the seizure of the Price
and stevenson"
"Since then in the cases of Wharton
and Nelson and Marsh, to which you
allude, the Supreme Coult ofthe United
States has finally settled the question
against the claims of Maryland, and l
express the hope that hereafter this de-
cision will be respected and that no
further collision shall take place be-
tween your oyster police force and the
citizens of Maryland. You may rest
assured that all proper efforts shall be
made by the authorities OF Maryland to
enforce the letter and spirit of that fl
nal judicial determination of the ques-
ton which has SO long been in contro-
versy between the two common
weallhs."
In conclusion Governor Brown says
that he has designated Benjamin f.
Marsh as the States agent to receive
the captured vessels.

BLUE-EYED INDIANs.-Ina mountain

aristocratic Indians called "los Griegos"
(the Creeks. They are light complex

in two shades of blue and their cloth

" ornamented with beads and silk en-
broidery of which Indians are so fond.
Their houses are better built and furn-

many have pianos and other musical
instruments, upon which they play
with considerable skill. These "Grie-
gosn have no commercial or social con-

from even those who live at the base of
the mountain on which their village IS
situated. They raise their own food,
do their own manufacturing, have their
own schools, churches and social insti-
buttons, and seldom or never marry
outside of their own tribe. There is said

Two OF the so-called Independent
and unsectional newspapers of Wash
ington have come out in their true COL
ors during the current week. One
saws: 1.-THE democratic party has done
nothing to commend itself to the re-
spect and confidence of the country. 1t
has succeeded in convincing US that it
inclines to foolish and vicious legisla-
ton, and it has frightened conservative
citizens in all quarters" That's for
politics. The other, abiding to the
English committee sent over here to
investigate and report upon negro
lynehing in the South, says; at may
be questioned whether Gov. OFerrall
and Gov. Northen are pursuing the best
line of policy when they abuse the
committee and the forces which brought
the committee into being" 1t also
speaks of the "forces" referred to as
missionary and well meaning efforts, ,
and says "the lynching mania is con
fined to gradually narrowing portion
of the republic" That's for sectional
ism. But most men like to be on the
strong side, aud it looks now as if that
side is the republican.

berry was not discovered until the Off

LONDON, Sept. ia dispatch from
Shanghai says that three Chinese war
ships which were ordered from Annoy

arrived at NYeihsiwei. y number Of
torpedo boats from the south have also
reinforced the fleet. The whole north
ern squadron is now at Weihaiwei in
readiness to cope with the japanese in
the event of their appearing in the
Gulf of Pechi Lii. Another dispatch
from Shanghai says report is in circu-
lation that there has been two days
fighting near Kai Cheng, in which
neither side gained any advantage.
The Kirin division of the Chinese
army has crossed the Kulin river and
occupied the city of Stunning, where it
will await the advance of the main
army before attacking the japanese
right. About $4,000 troops from the
provinces of Chih Ii and Liang and
Kiang have been ordered to the de-
fence of Tien Using. OF these $4,000
men have already arrived and the re-
manner will reach Tien Using at the
end of the month. These reinforce
ments are due to the fear of an inva-
sion by the japanese.

LONDON. Sept. 13.-The semi-annual
meeting of the directors of the Bank of
England was held to-day. The gov
ernor announced a slight decrease in

cane has passed over the southwest

BOMBAY, Sept. ia serious riot has
occurred in the city of Poona, in the
Bombay presidency, which may lead to
further outbreaks. a congregation OF
Mohammedans were praying in a
mosque, when a procession of Hindoos,
accompanied by native bands of music,
passed on their return from their tenn
Pile. The Mohammedans became in
censed at having their devotions dis
turbed and attacked the Hindoos. The
latter were quickly reinforced, until
they numbered about 1000. A terri
fic fight ensued, which resulted in the
defeat of the Mohammedans. The Hin
docs then sacked the mosque and at
tempted to burn it, but were finally
pacifed, and the building was saved.
In the melee one man was killed and q
large number were severely hurt.

JUDGE NIcoL is right when he says
the democratic voters in Virginia are
under the impression that they have
been deceived. And that they have
been, there is not the slightest doubt, and
that, too, though warned that they
would be, by the wiser men among
them. But that they have been, ID
surely no reason at all, let alone sui
ficient one, for abandoning their old,
and helping their open and avowed
enemy, the republican party. for the
populist and prohibition parties amount
to little or nothing, and really are only
intended, in the South, to hurt the DEM
ocratic. There is no sense in biting of
your nose to spite your face. but less
for a Southern democrat to vote
against his party, as, by doing SO, he
will assist those who are striving to re-
enact the Mckinley bill, with its high
tax on nearlyeverything Southern peo-
pie have to buy, and, worse still, to re-
vive and pass the dreaded force bill.

AT Yesterdays session of the an

ex.Confederate, General Gordon, the
day before, was responded to by the re-
mort of the committee on legislation, as
follows: "AIen who fought to destroy
the Union, now dominate and controi
in both legislative branches OF the ma
tional government. No successful ap-
neal can be made to enemies OF the
country-mapy of them as much so
now as they were in the war, and we
NAV be permitted TO say here that
those not now reconstructed never Will
be, for justice to the soldiers and sailors
of the Union. Such men do not under
stand-they never did-the meaning OF
patriotism. For them odd Glory has
no charm; home and country no signlh'
canoe. They are not Americans"

decoration day, "every thing possible
