Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

HUNTINGBURG, Ind. May i2.-Two
young colored toughs in this city fired on
the whites yesterday evening, fatally in
juring Corwin Jeffrey and precipitating a
state OF excitement here that threatened
to cause lynching until the two negroes
were hurried to Jasper for safety. Trouble
has been threatened for some time between
the white and colored boys who have been
making headquarters around the depot.
There was a free-for-all fight yesterday
afternoon, when Chris Pinkston was beaten
up by the white boys. Later Pinkston, with
Mort Pendleton, secured a revolver, pur-
chased cartridges. and returned to the depot
in the evening for chance to make trou-
Bile. A pop bottle was thrown at Pinkston
and Pendleton handed him the revolver.
Pinkston fired at a white boy and missed.
He then turned and saw young jeffrey and
shot him twice. The two colored boys then
ran away, but were captured this morning
after chase. The town people are greatly
worked up over the affair and older people
may take hand in the race war.

NEW VOLUNTEER ARMY
ONE MORE PHASE of THE STATES
RIGHTS DOGMA WIPED OUT.
Far-Reaching Effects OF the Recent
LegisIation-The Regulars, the
Volunteers and the Militia.


W. 3. S., in St. Louis Globe-Demoerat.
Supremacy of State rights died thirty odd
years ago in all parts of the country. But
national life is now obtaining vigor and
recognition it never had before.
There is more in this war than the Gu
ban question" high official of the govern
ment said the other day. I'VE are getting
many good things in the way of legislation
for defensive and offensive preparation,
which we have wanted a long time. but
never would have secured until some trouble
with a foreign power spurred Congress to
act"
The new law for raising an army is one
of the good things. 1t is such a departure
from the old way of doing that the country
finds difficulty in realizing all it means
Confusion and friction have resulted from
the want of understanding. Even Govern
ors and adjutant generals of States have
gone amiss in the Interpretation of the new
statute. The War Department itself has
stumbled on some points. Now the simple
fact is that for the first time in its history
the United States possesses full authority
to raise an army directly from it's citizens.
The mediumship of the States is merely a
matter of form, not of principle. In the civil
war the national government called upon
the States to furnish troops; it does not do
so under the new law. While the call goes
to the States for the proper proportion of
citizens to serve, it does not recognize the
state government as having any part in the
raising of the army. The States are simply
geographical divisions to facilitate the col
lection of the volunteers. A state govern
ment might ignore the call. In that event
the government would simply open recruit
ing offices in that State and take the num-
Der called for. The fact is that the state
camps designated by the War Department
are simply great recruiting stations, one for
each State, to which the Governor invites
citizens who are willing to volunteer to
come, in order that they may be examined
individually as to physical condition and
may be sworn in as individual volunteers
in the volunteer division of the regular
army.
This is the spirit of the new law. 1t is
the basis of all of the provisions. When
so to provide that the Governors might
appoint officers of regiments from the
colonies down. This means only that the
privilege is conferred on the Governors to
| select certain subordinate officers Of the
| United States volunteers. The provision
state pride in the volunteers. Its chief rec
| ommendation was the argument that
| through it organizations of the National
| Guard might be induced to come into the
| volunteer army almost bodily. The Cow
| eminent does not accept National Guard
| ally desirious of drawing into the volunteers
| as many men as possible who have been
| drilled, and who may have seen something
| of camp and field service.
