The Eagle. OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE COUNTY. DECATUR, IADIA.VA. FRIDAY, NOV. ft, 1869. itews Items.Three thousand Chinamen in California are out of employment, and more are returning to China at present than are coming here. The report of the commissioners appointed to examine the Union and Central Pacific Railroads is completed and was submitted to the Secretary of the Interior Monday. At the Womans’ Suffrage Convention at Hartford, Connecticut, Mrs. Dr. Losier, of New York, read an essay on the health of women, and addresses were made by Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Burleigh, and Mrs. Lloyd Garrison. The attendance was good. The Tennessee House adopted the amendment to the Convention bill providing that all citizens of the United States, twenty-one vears of age, having resided in the State six months prior to the election. shall vote for members of Crnvention. The bill as amended passed to the third reading. Col. T. A. Green, who killed Gen. Early, at St. Joseph, last fall, was tried at Plattsburg, Mo., on Wednesday, and acquitted. Gen. Butterfield’s resignation, as Assistant Treasurer, will not be ' accepted until his successor shall be appointed, which will take place in a few days. Genera] McMahon was in conversation with Secretary Fish, iu Washington, Thursday, on Paraguayan matters. It is reported that Minister McMahon's course in Paraguay is approved by the ; State Department, aed it is even { intimated that he may be returned j to his late position. His recall , was ordered by Mr. Washburne, it is said, while Secretary of State, in retaliation for being appointed to succeed C. A. Washburne, the late Secretary's brother. Minister Low has not yet received his instructions as Minister to China, but will in a few days, ‘ and will sail for Europe immedi- j ately. Mr. Wade, English Charge d'Atfaira, who succeeds Mr. Allcock in China, is reported to have said recently that J. Ross Browne was in error in staling that the I Chinese had made no progress, They bad recently established a foreign office, and provided for i the education of the youth abroad. ! and this, with the appointment of' Mr. (hirlingaine's mission, indicat- I ed considerable progress. Mr. Wade thinks all Mr. Burlingame’s treaties will be ratified. The Administration has advices that there will be no difficulty in disposing of the Cuban privateer Hornet, that the evidence will be sufficient to hold the vessel for violation of the neutrality laws. There arc nineteen contested | •lection cases to be considered by i tho House of Representatives, 1 when it assembles. The House committee* through their clerks are busy preparing evidence. James Deputy , Sheriff of Vaadcrburg county, Indiana, was shot in a saloon bv one of the Evansville police last Sunday. France is about to send an envoy to Russia to confer with the Czar i.i regard to a general disarmament of the great powers. The Richmond, Va , revenue of- ■ fleers report to the bureau at Washington that they recently dis-1 covered that counterfeit tobacco ! •tamps have been sent to all parts of the country and they warn deal-1 era to carefully examine all stamps on Virginia packages of tobacco Vice Admiral Porter, who has had charge of the navy department since the present administration came into power, is getting.up the annual report. In a financial way the department will make a prettv good exhibit, as it has to its credit the proceeds of a large amount of sales of vessels and refuse war raa- _ terial. though some of the ironclad* have been sold at ruinous prices. The Algonquin, which coat orer $500,000, did not bring more than $30,000.

The Elections. On Tuesday elections took place in New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Kansas. In New York the democracy have elected their candidates by increased majorities. The State is claimed democratic by from 10,000 to 20,000. Wisconsin is claimed Republican by from 7,000 to 8,000. So far as heard from the Democrats have gained largely m Minnesota. In the city of Chicago the people’s ticket elected all their candidates, over the regular Republican candidates. State News. The colored masons have a flourishing lodge in Terre Haute.. A sale of twenty-three Washington county mules, to be delivered at Louisville next Tuesday, was made at Salem Thuasday |t 8140 per head. The Express says Terre Haute is deficient in church edifices. There is a greater deficiency, however, in church goers.— Terre Haute Joyrnal. The Fort Wayne Democrat has a copy of the Fort Wayne Sentinel of January 1, 1835, containing among other things, an admirable carrier’s address, written by Hon Hugh McCullough, late Secretary of the Treasury. The Covington Friend says it was shown, a few days ago, a spec imen of pure copper dug up by the railroad hands on the Anderson farm, just over the river from Covington. If it should be discovered |in paying quantities, it will be a . valuable acquisition to our known mineral wealth. The farmers in this locality have fairly commenced gathering their corn, which promises a larger yield than was anticipated a few months ago. Ezra Patterson, who is tending about 150 acres of Squire Watts’ land, expects his crop will average about the same as last year.— Lawrenceburg Register. ! Franklin now has an extensive ' pork house. During the last eum- ■ mer new buildings have been added I and the facilities for killing, dressing, packing, etc., greatly increased. The company slaughtered some two hundred head of hogs the latter part of last week as a commencement. They are now paying eight dollars per'hundred gross, we believe.— Jeffersonian. John B. Norman, the veteran ! editor of the New Albany Ledger, i the oldest daily in Indiana, was suddenly stricken with apoplexy ; Sunday (afternoon, and died in a short time. Mr. Norman has occupied the editorial chair for a period of 22 years, and was conced j cd to be one of the best campaign managers in the west He was be loved by political friends and foes alike, for the purity of his eharaci ter and his social and moral worth. I His age was 45. Another River Disaster. Cairo, Oct. 28.—The officers of the Sub Marine No. 13 and Olive : i Branch report the steamer Slone-I I wall, heavily laden, from St. Louis ; to New Orleans, entirely destroy-! ed by fire last night at Tea Table Bar, eighty miles above Cairo. The best information says 320 persons were on board, crew and passengers, of whom only forty are believed to be saved. All her officers except Pilot Ed. Fulkerson, 1 Engineer Frazier, and the carpen- | ter are lost. Captain Dowty, cf j Red River, is lost. Only six la-I dies were reported on the boat,' : three of whom were saved. The engineer saw a passenger I going aft with a candle, and order ! jed him to extinguish it, but he would not do so. Before the en-{ gineer could send word to the officers, the passengers rushed forward hunting buckets, but giving no alarm. Suspecting danger, the engineer rushed aft and saw the flames burst out iu the deck room among the hay. The alarm was ■ given, and the boat headed for the shore, but she grounded one huni dred yards from the shore. A Chicago man returned premaI turely from a business trip, and was met at the door by his wife, I dressed in summer clothes, who | kissed him all around his face be- ' 1 foro she discovered her mistake, j I She was intensely mortified when she found she had been I husband. ° ■, Everything was lately in readii ness for the marriage of a Cairo , lady, but the groom came not. . | After hours of waiting, a dispatch was received which read : “Have to wait till next week—my wife ha* I overhauled me!” f i Johnstown, New York, mannI factures five million dollars' worth -<of gloves a year—mostly from ’ deer, sheep, horse and calf skins.; 1 j The families for nearly twenty I mile* around the town arc nearly all, to some extent, wnrraged in the ' manufacture

The Tennessee Senator Elect —The Coopers. The Louisville Courier-Journal says of the newly elected Senator from Tennessee: Judge Henry Cooper, the sue cessful contestant, .is a gentleman of ability, culture, unimpeached character, and excellent address. He is the youngest of three brothers, each of whom has made his mark in Tennessee. William Cooper was one of the Judges of the Supreme Court when the war began, and is now the foremost member of the bar at Nashville. Edmund Cooper has been for ten or a dozen years a leading and active politician in Middle Tennessee. Henry Cooper has devoted himself to legal pursuits, and, excepting a brief service on the bench and in the State Legislature, never, we believe, occupied official po- • sition until he was elected a Senator from Nashville, whither he removed a year or two ago from Lebanon, where hehad been a law professor. His promise is considered first-rate, and we may fairly* regard him as a rising man. He is certainly a fortunate man, and may be congratulated upon having obtained at a very early age in life, and under circumstances which are in themselves somewhat distin guishing, a most advantageous position tor future usefulness and distinction. He enters the public service when the country needs a fresh relay of able leaders; when the old leaders are gradually passing away ; when peculiar phrases of politics call for and are calculated to develop peculiar talents. He has, moreover, two years of prep •ration before him; and, as the Democratic party is engaged in a fight against time, they ought to bring him, as they will surely bring it, many profitable lessons. His election will doubtless have a moderating effect upon the political elements in Tennessee. He is himself a moderate man, and, being a member of the Legislature, the increased weight which the rusuit of yesterday will add to his influence can hardly fail to produce good fruit. The Public Debt. The statement of the public debt, which will be published Tuesday, will show a decrease of 87,633,88375, making a total decrease of the debt since March 1 of 862,332,0T0-65, 65, the principal of the coin debt remaining the same. The interest of the coin has increased $9,811,183 25. The lawful money debt has decreased §3,905,000. Inter est has decreased 830,362 50. The natural debt has decreased —principal, 8135,710, interest, —19,781. Demand notes have decreased 81,385; fractional currency has increased 84,034.143 88; gold certificates have increased $1,318,800; the coin in the treasury has increased 88,190,052 88; currency in the treasury has increased $689,291; the sinking fund has increas--82,134,843; bonds awaiting the action of congress have increased 811,394,584. Currency balance, $7,248,29524; coin balance, $116,994,711 69. I ’. _ _ Prohibition a Failure. — Complaint comes from Boston i that the prohibitory law is virtual- ; ily a dead letter in that city. What-1 ever the number of convictions, the penalties are not enforced. This acquiescence in the breach of law is a bad feature. It indicates the defeat of the champion of temperance, and for the reason that they made-choice of bad weapons and entrenched in an untenable position. We believe failure is the , rule throughout the State. A Bos- ; ton correspondent of the Spring , field Republican says “an extra I prohibitory law is now a demon , strated failure in Massachusetts,’’ ' and in the next Legislature the ex- . isting statute will be modified. The experience ought to be considered decisive, and remove finally from the arena of politics, a ques- ! tion which should never have been introduced at the ballot box. —« ■ —I ■ ■ - In the Democratic procession in New York Wednesday night, the Sixth ward carried a magnificient banner, on which was inscribed “Our National Disturbers—Past,. Present, and Future,’’ represented as follows: The first by_ a man and brother of the colored persua ■ sion : the second by a sharp, vin-egar-visaged woman, typical of the • woman's rights woman of the pe- : riod, and the third by a Chinaman, as the disturber of the future. The last wickedness of the women is shown by the women of Cairo, Illinois They have united j to lock their doors at ten o'clock each night, whether their husbands j are in or not. The quession is, can they “hold out faithful to the end ?” A Rochester lady wants a law prohibiting second marriages, on account of the bad feeling they must cause iu the next world, in case all the partners go to the same place. The Duke of Genoa is now the ! most prominent candidate for the I'panieh throne.
