The mastering out Of a portion of
the Second Minnesota cavalry has
resulted in meeting of the men of
Company A, Independent battalion,
at Fort Abercrombie. They claim
to be entitled to release from service
first, as they were mustered in prior
to the Second cavalry. On Nov. IL
eighty men decided to pack up their
knapsacks, load them on the tran
sportation wagons, overturn the
guns into the river and start for
home. COL Adams, getting word of
their designs, surrounded them in
their quarters, loaded the guns with
canister and planted them in posi-
ton, covering the mutineers. A
lieutenant was then sent to request
them to lay down their arms. This
appeal was met with boots and wells
from the men, who threw down
their sabers, pistols, etc., in the
middle of the room, and reiterated
their determination not to do duty.

showed an increase in the size of
the crop; the market was democrat
lied and rs result the farmers of
the South lost thousands of dollars.
The complaints against the gov
eminent reports became so gener-
al that an investigation was set on
foot and as a result Il scandal has
been uncovered. 1t has been dis
covered that Edwin 5. Holmes,
the assistant statistician in the De-
partment of Agriculture, has been
Juggling the official reports, and
has also communicated advance in
formation to a number of the New
York brokers.
Holmes dealings were prinei.
pally with L. {. Van Ripper. and
it was proven that Holmes not only
sold information to Van Ripper and
other brokers, but that he also de-
liberately faIsilied the reports 50
as to manipulate the markets.
Holmes made Il small fortune
from the transactions, and his pro-
fits from his dealings with Van

IT LOOKS ROTTEN.

1t looks now like the Doodle in
yestigation at Little Rock is going
to uncover more rottenness than
was ut first suspected. Coyington,
it is true, was acquitted, but the
people believe him guilty. In
fact he was proven guilty by the
evidence of his accomplices, and it
was only the Judges instructions
to the jury that saved Covington
from term in the penitentiary.
Not being a lawyer nor the son
of lawyer, we are not in a posi-
ton to criticise the Judges instruc.
ton from IL legal standpoint, and,
if we were such, considering our
unfortunate penchant for getting
''pinehed, > it might be we'll to
play mum.
But The journal calls attention
to the fact that, regardless Of
whether Judge LEAFS instructions
to the jury that a man cannot be
convicted on the evidence of ac-
completes were right or wrong,
men have been convicted and even
hanged on such evidence, and it
looks a little strange, to say the
least of it, that if such is the law,
it was not discovered before now.
The ELEPHANT train robbers
were convicted and hanged at New
port on the evidence of an accom-.
plice who turned states evidence,
and if a train robber can be con
vieted and hanged on such evil
dence, why cannot a boodIer be
convicted on the same evidence

SALE OF THE BEE.

The Batesville Bee has been sold
by =. II. Wilkerson to the News
Printing Company, and the new
owners took charge last week.
Mr.. Wilkerson attempted to
lead the public to believe only a
short time ago that he had sold the
Bee to the editor of The Journal,
and about the first of May he pub
lished a statement of what he
termed the sale Of tn Bee in
which he stated that he had sold us
the plant; that we had made Il
part payment Of $50 on same and
he had delivered Us "A bill of sale
of the office. He was 50 deeply
an earnest about the matter that
he threatened To sue Us if we did
not go on and carry out the deal,
and upon our refusal he filed suit
against us with the clerk of the
circuit court
Mr.. Wilkcrson has never asked
nor obtained our permission to sell
the Bee, nor returned our $50,
which he stated we paid him as a
part payment on the plant, and it
seems to us that he has thereby
placed himself in very unenvi-
able attitude, especially for man
who is preparing to enter the min
lStry.

The journal notices that Con
gresham Brundidge stated in a
recent interview with an Arkansas
Democrat reporter that he would
be a candidate for reelection, but
that he would decline to do any
campaigning now. He is too bus
lily engaged in the practice of law,
he says, to discuss politics now.
The practice of law, it seems, is
Mr.. Brundidge's fayorite pursuit,
and one of the greatest objections
TO his record rs congressman is the
fact that he has frequently left his
seat In congress for several days
at time in order to come home
and defend some man In the courts.
Mr.. Brundidge may find, after the
campaign is over, that he can de-
vote his entire time to the prac-
tice of law. At any rate he can t
stay at home and practice law and
beat Will Oldheld it will take
