Hfeefl in the Detroit Honse of Correction, under tantence from the United States District Conrt of Arkansas. He was tried and found gnilty upon an information which contained a count under the Revised Statutes for “having in his possession, with fraudulent intent, an obligation engraved and printed after the similitude of an interest-bearing coupon bond of t’tfe United '&tatee.” The question raised by the petition for habeas corpus is whether the petitioner was guilty of an “infamous crime” within the meaning of tho fifth amendment to the federal Constitution. which p.-ovidps that “no person shall he held to answer for a capital or otherwise infamous crime, unless on presentment or indictment by a grand jury.” This court holds that a crime liable to infamous punishment is within the meaning of the words “capital or otherwise infamous crime,” in the fifth amendment, and cannot be lawfully prosecuted in the United States without an indictment or presentment by a grand jury, and that imprisonment at hard labor for a term of fifteen years is infamous punishment. The prisoner is therefore entitled to be discharged, and the petition for a writ of habeas corpus is granted. A decision of interest to banks and bank stockholders was rendered in the case of ihe First National Bank of Xenia, 0., plaintiff in error, against Daniel M. Stewart and Martha N. McMillan, administrators. This was a suit brought against the bonk by the administers of one McMillan, on account of alleged appropriation and sale by the bank of certain shares of its own stock which were in the bank’s custody. The bank justified its action upon tho ground that McMillan was its debtor to an amount greater than the stock, and that the stock was put in its hands as collateral security for indebtedness. This court holds that the verdict of tho jury in the trial below legally established tho fact that the bank did not hold tbe stock in question as security for McMillan's indebtedness. “The contention of the bank, therefore,” the court says, “comes to this: That a creditor who has possession .of the property of his debtor, as his agent, trustee or bailee, may, without reducing his debt to judgment, and without process or order of any court, and without the consent and against the will of the debtor, sell or otherwise dispose of property and apply its proceeds to payment of his deUt. We do not think the law gives a creditor any such right. The judgment of the court, below, in favor of McMillan’s administrators, is affirmed. A decifeiou was also rendered in the municipal bond case of J. Addison Kayqs, plaintiff in error, against the mayor and aldermen of the eity of Holly Springs, Miss. This was a suit brought upon the coupons of a series of bonds issued by the city of Holly Springs in payment of subscription to the stock of the Selma, Marion Sc Memphis Railroad Company. The court holds, first, that the intention of the Legislature to confirm and ratify the subscription could not be ascertained with certainty from the language of the act; second, that the bonds were void for waut of power to issue them, notwithstanding any recitals on their face or any acts “in pais” claimed to operate by way of estoppel. The judgment of the court below is affirmed. MINOR MENTION. The Cincinnati Colic clorship an Alleged Victory for McLean. Washington, March 30. —The appointment of William Caldwell as surveyor of the port of Cincinnati is claimed as a victory for the PayneMcLean faction, he having been indorsed strongly by Senator Payne, who is said to have personally urged his nomination. His most formidable competitor for the place was Theodore Cook, who was a Pendleton man in the senatorial contest n year ago, and who led the bolt against the McLean legislative ticket in Hamilton county, in the State eletftion in 1884. Although Mr. Cook has been a life-long Democrat and an effective worker for that party, his action in bolting the ticket in 1883 was used against him by the Payne men in the contest for the collectorßhip. „ _ Can Silver Coinage Be Stopped? Washington Special. Another very curious point has been raised by IMr. Jordan, the imported bank expert who intends to upset the Treasury style of bookkeeping. but it may be doubted whether the suggestion is to be seriously insisted upon. It is tbat the law appropriating a sufficient sum to purchase silver bullion to coin 2,000,000 of standard •ilver dollars monthly technically wa3 of effect for only one year; that the language of the law is such that it does not operate as a continuing appropriation; and that consequently the Secrotary of the Treasury may decline to make further purchase of bulliou and discontinue the coinage of the standard silver dollar. The point upon which this claim is based is wholly technical. The appropriation clause in the original silver-do!!ar law provided that tho money necessary to execute its provisions was to be taken from any monev in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated. It is maintained ihat the appropriation, if it was to continue indefinitely, should "have stated ihat the amount appropriated was to he appropfiated annually. The omission of the word “annually,” it is argued, takes this appropriation out of the category of what are called (permanent appropriations, and limits the appropriation to one year. McClellan Declines the Russian Mission. 'Washington Special. On Thursday last Secretary Bayard sent a message to Oen. McClellan, asking him to take /the Russian mission. So many of our commercial interests would be involved in the event of war between England and Russia that tho importance of this post just now is much increased. JBut Gen. McClellan promptly replied by tele>graph that he could not accept. It is explained that his business interests in New York would not permit him to leave the country, except at great personal sacrifice. He is president of a copper mining company which is developing an extensiye deposit in the “Pan handle” of Texas, and he has a*lso just been appointed a member of the reorganization committee of the West Shore railroad. Rumor that Mrs. Garfield Will Marry. Washington Capital. I seo that it is reported that Mrs. Garfield is contemplating a change in her name, and I hear at the same time that the managers of the Garfield hospital, finding tbat this lady takes no apparent interest in their enterprise, are thinking of changing its name also. The name of “Garfield” does not seem to have brought good fortune io a worthy and much needed charity. People .naturally wonder why an institution*which was ’ \ntended to be the most enduring monument to .he deceased President should receive no encouragement from Mrs. Garfield, who was given a fortune of nearly $600,000 because her husband was shot while holding the office of President. The rumor that she is to remarry seems to excite no surprise among her frieuds. Officers Who Remain. Washington, March 30.—1 tis not generally known that the commission of the Comptrollerof the Currency ruus for five years, and tho law provides that he can only be removed by the President “upon reasons to bo communicated by him to the Senate.” It is not probable, therefore, that Comptroller Cannon will be removed. Secretary Manning has made it known that he doe* not propose to make any change in the sur-geon-generalship of the Marine Hospital service, And that Dr. Hamilton will be retained. Information for Postal Clerks. Washington, March 30.—Postmaster general Vilas has authorized the statement that railway postal clerks wuo have become efficient and valuable men, against whom uo just complaint can ibe brought, and who have not turned their attention to political labors during their term of ‘worries, need have no fear of being disturbed. I Mil ■ I——^ •*— Mr. Cleveland Did Not Go to That Church. , Special to New fork World. Appropos of Mr. Cleveland’s avoidance of the 'New York-avenue Presbyterian church, where all hearts were palpitating in eager expectation ,of receiving him into that fold, it crops out that -the vulgar officiousness of a former pastor of the church was the cause of tho President’s action.

This pastor went from here to Buffalo, and there became intimate with the Rev. Ball, of malicious memory, and joined hands with the clerical blackguard in his crusade against Mr. Cleveland. Naturally, and very properly, the President, when he came here, was averse to casting his spiritual fortunes with a congregation to which his defamer had at one time ministered; and by which wa3 supposed still to be held in cordial remembrance. General and Personal. to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, March 30. —John F. Regan and John J. Williams, of Terre Haute, are at the Riggs. They have come to see about the appointment of postmaster at their home. Regan is a candidate for the place and Williams came along to help him. It is believed the matter will not be settled till after the spring election. J. Matisankey, of Terre Haute, says he came a little too late to get the collectorship of internal revenue in his district, and will return home a wiser but sadder man, after seeing the capital. An impression prevails among Indianians that John S. Williams, of Lafayette, will be Fifth Auditor of the Treasury, as soon as a change is made. So far, however, no intimation has been made to D. S. Alexander, the present incumbent, that his resignation is desired. Governor Gray to day communicated with Major J. H. Stine, historian of the First Army Corps, informing him that the Legislature bad passed a bill providing for erection of lines of stone tablets on the battlefield at Gettysburg, Pa., to mark the positions held by the Indiana troops, and expressing the belief that the lines would be completed by May, or before the regular annual visit of the soldiers, on May 4 and 5, when the war Governors, the President and his Cabinet are expected to be present. Lieutenant John M. Stotsenburg, of the Sixth Cavalry, who has been at New Albany, on leave, is here. Gil Sbanklin, of the Evansville Courier, is now visiting his sister, Mrs. Justice Harlan. He intends having an operation performed on his eyes, which are afflicted with cataracts. Some of the Indiana Democrats who have been here some time waiting for appointments are very much discouraged; yet they refuse to go home. It is not believed likely that those whose names have figured so much for places outside the State will get them. The sentence of the Hazen court martial is simply a reprimand, and is not yet approved by the President. Among the nominations confirmed by the Senate to day was that of Aquilla Jones, sr., for postmaster at Indianapolis, and Mrs. Lizzie H. Ficklin, postmistress at Charleston, 111. PIGEON-HOLING. A File Clerk in the Texas Legislature Makes a Business Proposition. Austin. Tex., March 30.—-Tho House to-day, by the adoption of a report of the investigating committee, dismissed J. W. Tryon, of Houston, clerk of the judiciary committee, for conduct unbecoming an employe. About a month ago Alexander Sampson, whom the Senate, on Saturday, summarily dismissed from the office of calendar clerk, wrote a letter to a well-known bucket-shop proprietor at Galveston, stating that a pending bill in the Legislature, known as the “bucket-shop bill” (which prohibits speculation in grain and stock futures), could be suppressed if the bucket shop men would pay Tryon $1,500. In this letter Sampson said: “Between us. Tryon can pigeon-hole tho bill so it will never see daylight, if the introducer is quieted.” Representative Tankersley, of Houston, introduced the bill. The reading of Sampson’s letter, on the floor of the House, by Representative Fisher, of Galveston, created the greatest sensation among members and speculators. Mr. Fisher, in a vigorous speech, exposed the doings of the board of clerical black-mailers who, he said, had infested the legislative halls since the opening of the session. Mr. Tankersley, at to-night's session of the House, will demand an investigation of matters connected with the use of his name by legislative clerks. GENERAL ANSON STAGER. A Memorable Night Passed in the Old Capi~ tol Prison at Washington, Washington Special. £ Wm, P. Wood, who had charge of the old Capitol Prison during the war, publishes over his own signature, in the Washington Gazette, today. the following incident, which is recalled by the death of General Stager: “The death of General Anson Stager during the past week brings to mind an episode which occurred at the old Capitol Prison, in the early part of our fratricidal strife. Mr. Stager had been appointed Chief of the United States Military Telegraph, and was assigned to duty at the War Department, with the rank of colonel and aide-de-camp. He called upon me semi-officially, and requested to be shown around among the rebel prisoners then in the old Capitol prison. I asked his purpose. He stated that it was merely curiosity, as he desired to see how live rebels took their imprisonment. I rather bluntly informed nita that the prison was not a menagerie whoso occupams were on exhibition to inquisitive curiosity seekers. He did not relish my refusal, and said he would obtain Secretary Stanton's order to visit the prisoners. I assured him that an order from that Secretary would be obeyed to the letter. lat once took the precaution to forward a note to Mr. Stanton stating that it was injudicious to allow the old Capitol prison to be opened as a menagerie, and that if any of the officials of the department should request tbe privilege to visit the establishment for that purpose only one admission in my judgment should be granted. “In two or three days after the application of Stager to see live rel ‘ls he again presented himself at the old Capitol Prison with a pass from Secretary Stanton to admit the bearer to any room in the prison ho should select. I required Colonel Stager to choose a room, and aided him in selecting a large front apartment on the second floor in the northwest corner of the prison, occupied by Georgians and Marylanders, who were a lively set of rollicking fellows. Into this room Mr. Stager was introduced as an official of the War Department, who was desirous of seeing how live rebels conducted themselves as prisoners. I told them I hoped that during his stay’ they would do their best to entertain him. “Colonel Stager was ushered into No. 4, but soon got tired of the novelty of seeing live rebels and wanted to leave. The guard would not allow him to pass out of the room, except as a prisoner and under the same restrictions. Col. Stager sent for me, and after inucb#delay I called on him, desiring to know what lie wanted. He asked why he was detained in the prison. I assured him that that was none of my business. I only know that he would require an order from the same source that brough to take him out. He became furious. The “rebs" took in the situation and made it- lively for Colonel Stager. They \assured him that his only way out was to sectfce Secretary Stanton’s order for his release. Ct Stager spent that night in th 9 old Capitol prison, and fared and slept precisely as other prisoners. “The next day an order came from Secretary Stanton for tho release of Colonel Stager. It is unnecessary to state that no official of the War Department ever again desired to visit the prison while I had charge of it. General Stager’s experience enabled him in after years to entertain his frieuds with his interesting recollections of one night in the custody of the superintendent of tho old Capitol Prison.” Wants the Facts Known.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOUmSTATu, TUESDAY, MARCH 31, 1885.

AGITATOR RIEL’S REVOLT. A ’ Band of Five Hundred Indians Threatening the Battleford Barracks. Every White Man Enrolled for Duty and Prepared to Resist to the End—Departure of Troops from Toronto* The Danger at Battleford. Winnipeg, Man., Mach 30. —A Battleford despatch jnst received, says: “All the Indians of this district have gathered at Poundbreaker’s reserve since Saturday. They are now about 500 strong, and were encamped one mile out of town. They are threatening to take the barracks, and all settlers and families are in the barracks. Every man is enrolled for service. The Indians threaten to burn the town. They are expected to come to day to a pow wow with tbe agent, which may be made to last a day or two.” A Medicine-hat special, just received, says the Indians are on the war-path and the the settlers are preparing for an attack. The Indians held a pow wow yesterday, from which the government interpreter was excluded. There are only six police at this post The settlers have applied to the government for arms, ammunition and reinforcements. A Qu’Appelle dispatch says it is reported that the Indians at File Hill reserve. 300 in number, have risen and killed Michael, the instructor. Three companies of rifles and a detachment of a battery, with one guu, left this morning for Fort Qu’Appelle. A general advance will not be ordered till the troops arrive from the East Departure of Troops from Toronto. Toronto, March 30. —Never in the history of Toronto has there been such intense excitement shown as this morning. Orders had been given for tbe troops to parade at 10 o’clock in heavy marching order, but long before that hour people began to assemble around the drill-shed, and very shortly the structure was densely packed, the crowd extending from the shed, along West Market street, to King. Others took up positions on the sidewalks on King street, and by 11 o’clock pedestrianisru was impossible. Every upper window along King street was filled with ladies. In tho drill-shed the men were put through the several movements and addressed by their colonels. At 11:30 the doors of the drill-shed were thrown open, and the Grenadiers’ contingent inarched out, preceded by their band, playing “The Girl I Left Behind Me.” The Queen’s Own followed, headed by a bugle band. Immediately on their appearance ringing cheers went up from the crowd along the route, and the ladies waved their handkerchiefs. Along King street the wildest excitement prevailed, the cheers being continuous. At the Union Station about 10,000 people were assembled. As the train slowly steamed out of the station the people grew wild with excitement. Cheer upon cheer was given, and responded to by the troops. The contingent comprises 500 men from the Queen's Own and the Grenadiers, and eighty from the Infantry School classes. It is reported that tbe deputy adjutant-general has received orders to call out the remainder of the Queen's Own and the Grenadiers. The report lacks confirmation, but it is genorally believed such an order will come shortly. A movement is on foot here to get twenty young men. who have means and courage, and are willing to undergo hardships, to band together for guerilla warfare, and to bring in Riel, dead or alive. They will go through the United States as civilians, and will procure an outfit costing about SBOO, in Winnepeg. They will style themselves the Toronto Rangers. The Locatiou of the Rebels. Washington Special. The following table of distances will enable readers to form some conception of the country in which the rebellion is going on, and give them an idea of the line of march for the troops: From Winnepeg to Qu’Appelle Station, on the main line of the Canadian Pacific railroad, 324 miles. Qu’Aappello to Fort Qu’Appelle, 15 miles; Qu’Appelle to Hudson's Bay post at Touchwood hills, 45 miles. Touchwood hills to end of Great Salt plains, 44 miles. End of Great Salt plains to Humboldt, 30 miles. Humboldt to Batoclie’s crossing, 57 miles. Batoche’s crossing to-Cnrleton, 17 miles. Qu’Appelle to Carleton, 208 miles. Battleford to Carleton, 80 miles. Batoche’s crossing to Duck lake, 5 miles. Duck lake to Carleton, 17 miles. Duck lake to Prince Albert. 5 miles. Batoche's crossing to Prince Albert, 50 miles. The country between the north and south branches of the Saskatchewan river is slightly undulating, with groves of wood here and there. The banks of the river are fully two hundred feet in height, and sloping a mile distant on each side. The country from Qu'Appelle to the northern end of Touchwood hills is partially wooded. Then comes the Great Salt plain, thirty-fivo miles without wood. From Humboldt to Batoche’s crossing the country is partially wooded and very much broken, and would offer great advantages for an ambush. Fully one half of the French half-breeds arc buffalo hunters, good riders, and well armed with six-teen-shooters. The half-breed settlement extends twenty-five miles from Dumont's crossing to Prince Albert crossing, mostly on the east side, and from Batoche’s crossing to Carleton, seventeen miles, passing through Duck lake. Beardie’s reserve lies west of and adjoining Duck lake. Beardio is a Cree Indian, who has always given a good deal of trouble. He was taken prisoner once for stealing horses and cattle. There are about eighty mon in this band. St. Laurent is the name applied to the half -breed settlement referred to, The center of it is at Batoche’s crossing. There is a Catholic church four miles down the river and one at Duck lake. Fourmound is the priest at the first named place, and Father Andre at Duck lake. Hughes’s store is near the Catholic church. Riel is understood to have made his headquarters at Batoche’s crossing. Dumont is the ferryman at the crossing which bears his name. Dumont is thought likely to be the leader, as he was a captain in the buffalo hunts for many years. He is a bold and energetic man. To within two years he was in the habit of going buffalo hunting across the line, and had many encounters with the Santee, Piegan and Blood Indians on the American side, ty is estimated that there are at least one thousand male adults amor.g the half-breeds in this section. They raise cattle, farm a little, and are described ?|s being generally in good condition. Foremost among tl em are Gabriel Dumont, Louis Schmid, the member for St. Vital in tho local Legislature until ISSI, Batoche and C. Noliu. A large number of good shots in the troops which have been forwarded have, upon order of General Middleton, been supplied with Martini-Henri rifles, to enable them to act as sharpshooters. Nearly all the rebels are sharpshooters, and it is expected they will commit deadly havoc with tho troops when they meet. Being familiar with the country, they can conceal themselves and do a great deal of sharpshooting. General Middleton, while here, sanctioned the formation of anew battalion organization, which is now going on. The officers havo been elected. The Outbreak of Fourteen Years Ago. Louisville Courier-Journal. In response to the reporter’s inquiries Mr. George H. Kellond stated tbat he went out with the Red-river expedition, under command of Col. Garnet Wolseley, now Lord Wolseley, commanding the English forces in the Soudan, as a lieutenant of the Second Regiment, Quebec Rifles. The expedition left Quebec in May, 1870, and in the following September reached Fort Garry, the site of the present city of Winnepeg. The place then contained not more Uiau 200 in-

habitants, and. with the surrounding country, was held in subjection by Riel. Tho route of the march, after leaving the western terminus of the railway, was through a wild and unfrequented country, and the advance was retarded by obstacles of the greatest magnitude. Rivers and lakes were navigated, and rapid3 and forests traversed which the rebels thought could not be overcome in so short a time. Hence they were greatly surprised at the arrival of troops so early in the fall. Riel and his followers retreated before the troo the Win*®*'**? river and cutting loose the pontoon. Riel escaped, and crossed the frontier into the territory of the United States, where he remained several months. Ambrose Lepine, one of his lieutenants, surrendered, and was tried and sentenced to imprisoement for one year, and after serving out his term became a useful citizen, and is now a representative in the Dominion Parliament. Another confederate, named Donahue, who had been a clerk for the Hudson Bay Company, went with Riel and died in Dakota. Riel's followers were half-breed Indians, some of them being of Scotch and French fathers, and had settled on small grants of land made to them by the Hudson Bay Company. Riel is a native of lower Canada, and was given a good education, and after reaching manhood became an adventurer and went West, where he became very popular with the half-breeds. He claimed for his object the establishment of a northwestern republic, but ho was never considered a man of any character, his whole ambition consisting, in the opinion of those who knew him, of a desire to control the half-breeds and become their leader. After remaining away from the province a year or two Riel returned, was elected to Parliament and went to the seat of government to assume his duties, but was not permitted to do do so. The authorities, through political motives, did not arrest him, however, and after remaining in the East a few years he returned to Manitoba. That province was filling rapidly with immigrants, and Riel’s followers found themselves surrounded by a more civilized people, and determined to go further west They sold their lands back to the Hudson Bay Company, and took other lands in the Saskatchewan valley and among the Touchwood hills, at the foot of the Rocky mountains, about 1,000 miles northwest of Winnepeg. Riel went to them about a year ago and began to stir them up against the government again, and the recent outbreak is the result of his visit. The Canadian P’aciflc railroad has been completed to the foot of the Rocky mountains, and was about two hundred miles south of „the present habitation of the rebelious half-breeds. The province of Manitoba contains a large population, and Winnepeg is a flourishing city, surrounded by a fertile farming country, which the inhabitants consider the garden spot of the world. The climate in the Saskatchewan valley is more temporate than that of the sections much further south and east of it, hence its selection by'the half breeds. Col. Irvin, the commander of the troops in Manitoba, who will march against Riel, was major of the Quebec Rifles in the Red-river expedition, and is a thorough soldier. Riel will find that his chances for success are not half so good as they were fourteen years ago, and will doubtless be quickly subdued. He cannot escape into the United States, because the railroad runs to tho south of his country, and his retreat will be easily cut off. Mr. Kellond does not thinK tho autbreak will bo at all serious, and says the rebellion will be short lived. Mr. Kellond retired from the service at the close of the Red river campaign, and resided in Winnepig until last August, when he came to Louisville. He states that the police which the papers mention are really mounted riflemen, whose duty it is to protect the Western frontier from the ravages of the Indians and half-breeds, and that they will make short work of Riel’s army.

This person who has been appointed postmaster at Indiadapolis is said to be the oldest human living male being on the American continent, having originated among the mountain fastnesses of North Carolina some time prior to tho dawn of the nineteenth century. His name is Aquila Jones. Aquila is a Latin word —a common noun of the first declension, feminine gender. Originally it was written Aquilla, but about the time of the invasion of Britain by Maj. geu. J. Cower the name dropped the

One Aqaila Janus was a centurion in Caesar’s Roman army, and such was his valor that his effigy is to the present time introduced in all the stirring mimic battles in which Lawrence Barrett, Tom Keeae, and other classic actors utilize a Roman army. Old Aquila Janus — or Aquila primus, as he is called by Latin historians—was she greatgrandfather of the new Indianapolis postmaster. As the centuries rolled on, Janus became corrupted to Jon us and anglicised to Jones. Among his family relics Aonila Jones has a sword and scabbard which his greatgrandfather captured from Ariovistus, King of the aboriginal Germans, and subsequently used with conspicuous valor against the heathen Britons.
