COMKADES MEET ONCE MOEE

The Seventieth Indiana Veterans Spend a Day Together at Irvington, And SurvlTors of the Third Indiana Cavalry Iiold'l'heir Annual Keonion in This City What the Veterans Talked About. Tho people of Irvington, particularly the ladies, took great interest in the reaaion of the Seventieth Indiana veterans, which occurred in that place yesterday. The exercises were divided between out and indoors, the speeches and music taking place in the University chapel while the dinner was served under the campus trees. At the coon hour the day was bright. One better for an out door feast could not have teen desired. The soldiers of the Seventieth, wno were known as Gen. Ben Harrison's regiment, have always paid great attention to their annual reunions, but this year, with the welcome the good Irvington folks extended them, and a renewed desire to meet old comrades once more, the attendance was unexpectedly large. Of the veterans there were 250, and with the most of them were wives and children, so when the exercises began in the University chapel that spacious room was filled in every part. Business in St. Louis prevented General Harrison, the president of the association, from attending. Col Samuel Merrill, the vice-presi-jdnt, therefore took charge and in response to an address of welcome by Prof. Scot Butler, spoke feelingly of the people's kindness to the veterans. They would, he said, long treasure it a one of the heartiest welcomes they ever received. Comrade John A. Ward, of Princeton, delivered an address on the trials of soldiers, in which he referred to the pension agitation. Soldiers were not panpers who required an indiscriminate pension system. Every deserving znan disabled in the service or through the effects of wonnds, long marches and exposure, , should be given proper recognition, but there wore thousands who did not need the assistance of the governments By this time the ladies of Irvington and Indianapolis who had agisted in preparing the bountiful dinner were ready to receive the veterans at the feast under the trees. The eatables included everything that was palatable or delicious. An hour was spent in the enjoyment of the spread, which a veteran said was more like a banquet than a picnicdinner. After the feast the soldiers and their eeveral hundred friends returned to the chapel, when Colonel Merrill affectingly spoke of the dead comrades. Short speeches followed, Major Geo. W. Grubbs leading the series with an interesting talk on "The Duty of the Country to the Soldier." The Seventieth was a typical Indiana regiment. It was not better than many others, but its ranks were filled by the vigorous youths from colleges and farms, whose guiding spirit was patriotism. They thought nothing of the material recompense for themselves alone, but answered unselfishly and patriotically the call for troops. He named many of the survivors who, since the war.Jiad held, or were now holding, honorable rank in the professions and business circles. The old soldier had been, abused in his desire for recognition for a want of patriotism. Such a charge was undeserved and ' uncalled for. It was the duty of the government to provide for its disabled soldiers, men who had put tbeir lives in jeopardy to save it from its enemies. A government was not worth iivin under that failed to give full recognition of such service. Rev. J. H. Matter, of Sullivan, amused the audience with a speech on "Camp and Hospital." It was full of auecdote and witticisms on the little trials the soldier experienced. Major Z. S. Iiagan came many hundred miles from hi home in Missourito meet his comrades once more. The last time he saw them together v. ten years ago, and he would not have come this year had not bad health warned him that he would probably have no other opportunity of enjoying a reunion with the Seventieth. lie tried to speak, but his feebleness did not permit of his speaking above a whisper. While lie was attempting to tell bis comrades of the p'easure their kindlv greeting gave him there whs not a dry eye in the large audience. Major James K Mitchell spoke of the "Lights and Shadows of Camp Life." The lights were when going forth to the war there was the joyoasness or. an excursion, and in camp when the fishing, berrying and sports relieved the tedium of a soldier's duties. The shadows came with the weary marches, the mud, the bivouac, the hospitals, the skirmishes and battles. John E. Cleland delivered a fine address on "the G. A. R. Boys." He paid an eloquent tribute to the soldier as he was in war and as he is in peaee. In lb62 the Grand Army of the Re public was organized for war. It performed its duty. Now it is organized on the broad basts of friendship, chanty and loyalty. It looked after 'the interests of comrades, eared for the needy and brought comfort to many a home that would otherwise be comfortless. Dan Kansdel told of "The Mnsie of the Blinie Ball." His speech was replete with good stories. and in its close be described the sensations one frit when going into battle. Following this the several committees on routine affairs made tbeir reports and after that the old officers of the as ociation were re-eleceed as follows: President Gon. Ben Harrison. Vice president Col. Samuel MerrilL Secretary Moses. G. 51c Lai a. Treasurer Maj. James L. Mitchell. The soldiers and friends then separated to meet again on the second Thursday of next

tJctober, at Clayton in Hendricks coanty. The Third Cavalry's Reunion. The annual reunion of the survivors of the Third Indiana Cavalry, whioh began yesterday fvftcrnooa in George H. Tnomas Post hall, promises to be the largest attended, and most interesting meeting the regimental association has ever held. The roster shoves that there are about three hundred of the members of the regiment living, and of that number over one hundred were present at the opening session yester day afternoon. The survivors have become scattered over all parts of the country, and quite a number of those present came from distant States. The New-Denison Hotel is the headquarters for the veterans, and the visitors are being royally entertained by the resident members of the regiment. Pollard Brown, of Kokomo, who was always a conspicuous figure In the regiment, is present. He is known to the veterans as "Pap" Brown and is receiving a great deal of attention from many of the survivors who had not seen him since the close of the war. He Was the owner of "Old Boo," the war horse which he rode through every battle in which the regiment participated. The old horse died only a short time ago. George Spahr. president of the regimental association, opened the reunion with his annnal address. It was in its nature historical, and contained many interesting facts. At the close of Mr. Spahr's address the association took up its routine business. There was considerable discussion over the selection of a place for holding the next reunion. Invitations were extended from Muncie, Columbus, Franklin and this ritr, and, after discussing at length the hospitality of the various towns. Franklin was chosen on account of its accessibility to the greatest numberof the veterans. The second Thursday in Octooer was the time decided upon. A communication was presented from the committee appointed by several other cavalry regiments to make arrangements for the orcanizatiou of a State cavalry association, but the project met with but little favor from the majority of the comrades. George J. Langsdale said he believed the organization of a State cavalry association would result in the absorption of the recimental organization, and, as he looked upon the regimental reunions as moch more desirable, he opposec the State organization. By an almost unanirrous vote the communication was laid on the table. The elt-ctioi of officers resulted as follows: President Cenraje W. Ilerriott, Indianapolis. Secretary 0. li. Wearer, Indianapolis. The sealing capacity of Thomas Post Hall was not sufficient to accommodate the audience that attended the cam pftre at night. Amoue those present were many of the members of the Seventieth refiment. who had spent the day at Irvineton. Thecamnfire was opened by the linging of several old army songs, which was entered uto with much spirit by the veterans. A quartet of colored einsers created much amusement and considerable enthusiasm by fi;iraphsing .'John Brown's Body Lies Molding u the Tomb." and "Denny is Ejected and Edenharters Beat" Tbe address of the evening was by Ref. Charles N. Le, pastor of Edwin Ray E. Church. It was prepared with care, and eras svery abl effort. IU dwelt upon the result of the war. He said he hoped to fce pardoned for bringing politics into his remarks, but be warned to express htficondemnatio'i of the party that was continual crying about the great public debt the war hionght on, ana the great expense the governxonot incurred in keeping so many soldiers uptm ; 1 ..- " : ' . :

the pension rolls. The soldiers, he said, could not be sneered down. Their service was of value beyond estimate, and to be called goveromant paupers by the men who during the war pleaded for peace, should be taken as an insult, lie referred to the rebel-flag incident, and said the revocation of the order borei that the soldiers of the country had to be respected. H thanked God that tbers were Governor Forakers in every state in the Union, and as long as they lived tho rebel flags should never be returned to those from whom they, were captured. MOSEY OF INSANE PATIENTS.

Phil Gapen's Impatient Dasire to Get Hold of $1,900 Held by Ex-Sapt. Fletcher. It seems to be Phil Gapen's opinion, and it is no doubt identical with that of Dr. Harrison, that the trustees of the Insane Hospital are the proper persons to care for the cash that patients may bring with them, or have sent to them at the institution. This money ha been in charge of the superintendent and Gapen since Dr. Fletcher turned that office over to Dr. Galbraith. He has beeu exercised because the retiring superintendent did sot at once settle with the trustees for the patients' money in his case. In explaining this matter Dr. Fletcher very clearly shows that the trustees are using it to reflect on his honesty. The Doctor says they caver made a formal demand ou him for the mouey. Dr. Galbraith came to him a week ago saying that be wanted to settle accounts. "I told him," continued Dr. Fletcher, "that I had cot time to examine the books and the checks, the only record I have, and that I had written the trustees that as I could do this, which would be within ten days, I would settle in full All I desire is to fix the amount correctly, and without doing that I do not think I would , be acting in a business-like manner." In the mean time Gapen wrote to the Attorneygeneral, intimating that Dr. Fletcher had betrayed an important trust, in that he "bad failed and refused to pay over between $1,800 and $1,900 belonging to the patients." He wanted to know if the trustees could bring suit for recovery. But Gapen did not state that this $1,900 or less represented the money credited to the female patients, while there was only $12 to the credit of the male patients. He perhaps could have explained the reason for this great difference in cash coming into the ex superintendent's hands from the two departments. Dr. Fletcher, since the trustees are so anxious for litiration, will no doubt accommodate them, as he said yesterday: "Since this action of the trustees iu threatening suit and tbeir refusal to answer my letter and demand for payment for personal property used by them, which as tbe record will show they agreed to purchase, I will submit the whole matter to my attorney for future action." Gapen is laying great stress on his statement that the patients are needing their money and cannot get it. Dr. Fletcher says emphatically that this is not true. "Before leaving the institution," be continued, "I told Miss Smith, who keeps the property record, that in case any patient desired his money he could have it at once by calling or sending to me, and I am ready to do that now. During my service in the hospital over $430,000 passed through my bands and I have not beard of any complaint or error, and there shall be none now. It is curious that all the money accounted for on the property book (except in four instances) belongs to women. I can't understand it. The meu must neither have money nor friends, or those who receive them fail to find it. Gapeu yesterday was somewhat exercised over cot finding the Attorney-general iu his office. That official was in Jeffersonville looking after the cases against Jack Howard. The Insane Hospital trustees, be intimated, wanted to know the law in regard to the patients' money, and he thought there could be found some statute that would give tbe trustees the right to take charge of it. FKTJITS AND FRUIT TREES. Statistics Relating to the riant and Product in Indiana Baring the Last Year. The State Bureau of Statistics has compiled t'ae returns from ail tbe counties in the State on tbe subject of fruits and fruit trees for the year ending June 30, 18S7, and the several tables show the following totals: Bearing Trees Apple, 5,252,290: peach, 454,738; pear, 317,974; quince, 25.010; cherry, 541,C70; Siberian crab, 89.331; total, G.C81.313. The total of these varieties in 188G was 6,842,548, a fallicg-ofZ this year of 1C 1.235. A comparison of each of the several totals for 1886 and 1887 shows that the apple, peach, quince and cherry trees decreased and th'e pear and Siberian crab trees increased, the decrease iu the number of peach trees and the increase in the number of pear trees being very marked. Non-bearing Trees Apple, 3,289,835; peach, 350,375; pear, 102,489; quince, 40,093; cherry, 209,424; Siberian crab, 97,709; total, 4.503,925. The con-bearing trees in 1886 aggregated 3,443.756, and the total for 1887 slows an increase of 1,126,169. A comparison of the totals of bearing and con-bearing trees for the two years shows that while the former fell off 161,235, the latter increased 1,126.169. making a net gain iu the total number of trees of 964,934, and this increase, being confined exclusively to the nonbearing class, may be regarded as the result of a generally increased re-plant. In collecting statistics on death and replant of fruit trees, the efforts of the bureau have been confined to three varieties apple, pear and peach trees, the first and second of which may be said to represent the hardier, more vigorous growths, and the third, that class moat sensitive to climatic changes. The total cumber of these three varieties dying in 1887 was 464,806 and the number planted 546.264. while in 1886 the number dying .was 832.531, and the cumber planted only 494,782. From these totals it will be seen that the cumber dying decreased nearly 50 per cent., and the number planted increased more than 10 per cent, in 1877, when compared with the previous year. The loss by death in none of the varieties was overcome by rep'ant in 1886. but in 1887 the loss in apple-trees was overcome and 17 per cent gained, and the loss in pear trees also overcome, and 120 per cent gained, the loss in peach trees alone being greater than the replant The table devoted to dried seed, canned fruits and cider, wine and vinegar, shows the following total products for the State: Bushels dried apples, 67,170; bushels dried pears, 1 964; gallons canned fruits, berries, etc., 1,970,340; gallons cider, 4,596,187: gallons wine, 93,587; gallons vinegar, 635,046. Each of these totals, except dried pears, shows considerable increase over the corresponding product for 1886. PUTTING UP PRICES ON COAL. The Dealers Say There Is Not Five Days' Snpply Iu the City and None iu Sight. The effects of the limited coal supply in the yards.. and the difficulty to get transportation from the mines, caused an advance yesterday. Anthracite is 50 cents higer, and block and all soft coals have been advanced 25 cents. Coke is selling at 15 cents, an advance of 3 cents. George Branham said, last eight, that there was cot five day's supply of coal in the city and that he saw nothing ahead promising an early change in the situation. During the sixteen years be has been iu business he never knew ccal of all grades to be so scarce. Some of the entailer dealers are entirely out and the larger ones can oiler no help, for they have barely enouga to meet the demands of their regular customers for the next few days. The same conditions prevail in nearly all the towns and cities west of Pennsylvania. The dealers are inclined to place the responsibility upon the railroad companies, who, it is said, are using the lareer part of their cars for transnor tiog merchandise, which i more profitable. This has been doneince midsummer. Frank Dell contracted for . 100 cars of anthracite, July delivery, and has not received them yet, nor does he know when they will reach this mirket . Shooting at Burglars. Last night between 12 and 1 o'clock the clerk sleeping iu the drug-store on Illinois street, near Michigan, was awakened by burglars breaking glass in the front window. lie slipped from his bed and quietly crawled along behind the counter to near the window where the men were at work. He waited until one of th era reached through the broken glass, and then shot at his arm twice. The men ran, and the clerk opened the front door in time to send two more shots after them before they got out of range. lie is of tbe opinion that he struck the arm of man who was reaching for the goods, as he was eloie to him, and took deliberate aim.

THE LEAGUE CLUBS WIN

The Indianapolis Team Again Defeats the Association Tail-Enders. The Detrolts Shut Out the St. Louis Browns at Pittsburg News of the Base Ball and Sporting; World. The last of the series of games between tbe Indianapolis and Cleveland clubs on the home grounds was played yesterday iu the presence of between two and three hundred persons, and resulted in another easy yictory for the Hoosier team. It was not a spirited or interesting game, and there was no very fine playing, but the Indianapolis team did as good work as there was any need of. The Cleveland players were weak at the bat and there was a great deal of blundering in their fielding. Healy pitched again, and improved on his splendid record of the day before, allowing the visitors to make only one safe hit, in addition to which he sent two men to first base on called ba'lla. Oberlander pitched for the Cleveland club, and, with the exception of his inability to oontrol the ball, did very good work. Of the nine hits credited to the Indianapolis team only three were legitimate. Two of tbe errors charged to Shomberg were excusable. The Indianapolis players ran bases pretty much as they pleased and won the game without seemingly making much of an effort The one run scored by the visitors was on errors by Shomberg and Brown and a hit by Strieker.

Detroit won the fourth game of the world's championship eeries, played here to-day. Three thousand people were present. The victory was an easy one for the League champions, who, nevertheless, played a wonderful game, shutting St. Louis out. King pitched for the Browns and was batted very freely from the start, Detroit scoring four runs in the first inning. St. Louis made only two hits off Baldwin. Magnificent fielding cut off many hits of the Browns. In the first inning Richardson's liner to left passed O'Neil and he made second. Ganzell and Howe went out, but Thompson' hit past Robinson for a double and Richardson scored. Dunlap made a one-bagger and stole to second, and on Bennett's single to left White and Dunlap scored. Hanlon retired the side. Latham, for the Browns, fouled out, Gleason died on first, and O'Neil hit safe past Dunlap, butComiskey struck out. Detroit scored again iu the second on a hit, an out, a passed ball and a wild throw of Gleason's; in the fifth, on Dunlap's three-bagger and an out. and twice in the sixth, on Dunlao's three-bagger and an out, an error of Gleason, a steal, a three-bagger by Rowe, a ; passed ball and Thompson s single. 1 no Browns got only one man as far as third Busbong in the fifth inning. The fielding of White, Dunlap, and Rowe, and Thompson's batting were the features of the game. Score: ST. tons.

Lexington, Ky., Oct. 13. This was a day of fine sport at the trotting races. The race between Belle Hamlin, owned by C. J. Mamlin, of Buffalo, N. Y., and Prince Wilkes, owned by George A.

At tbe start of the first heat, the mare led to the quarter in 33 i- seconds, and the half in 1:06 flat Wilkes came alongside Beile at tbe three-quarter in 1:40, and then she led by a few inches, but lost her feet, and Wilkes jogged under the wire twenty lengths ahead.

Miss Howe, of the ".Natural Gas" Company, Said to be the Wife of Congressman Bliss. An Associated Frees dispatch from New York states that Miss Katherine Howe, the lady who appears in the role of Daisy, in "Natural Gas." now being played at the Grand Opera-house in this city, is the wife of Congressman Bliss, of the Fifth district of New York, And that "she has entered the theatrical pro fession, following the example set by MrF. Langtry and Mrs. James Brown Potter. Mr. Bliss has served nearly twelve years in Congress, and was one of the commissioners of the old water-board.'-He became a widower twenty years ago, and his friends iu Brooklyn all profess to be ignorant of the fact that ha has remarried. He was in Brooklyn to-day and he is represented to have said: "I don't see that it's any body's business. If the story is true it concerns me alone, and if it is untrue there is no need of my denying it" He did not seem to be mnch exercised over the story, for he made his accustomed trip to the Jerome Park races. A Journal reporter sought an interview with Miss Howe last night, regarding the Associated Press story, but she refused to talk about tho matter, as she had been advised by Mr. Russell, the manager of the company, to say nothing rel ative to the report Mr. Russell siated that the lady had beeu greatly annoyed by the report. which was first published in Detroit "We know her," he said, "as Miss Howe, and are not aware that she has any other came. She Bought an engagement with us at the opening of the season, and as she gave satisfactory evidence of possessing . exceptional talent she was engaged, bne is Handsome, presents a remarkably fine stage presence, is a good dresser, and has an extraordinary voice. She really belongs to opera, and wo cannot expect to hold her long. I know nothing about her past life further than that sne has plaved brief en gagements twiee before this. She has no desire for any snch notoriety as sh is receiving and for the purpoa of suppressing the talk I have ad vised her to not encourage its continuance by haying anything herself, because I am sure it would do no eood." "I there any foundation for the storyH 'I don't know of any." "Does Miss Howe contradict it?" "She neither contradicts nor confirms it." Other members of the company sneak highly. of the lady, but claim to know nothing of her rast life. It is evident, however, that she is ac customed to moving in fashionable society, and it also seems apparent that she is not lr-ihe the atrical business for tne sake of the money it will bring her. She dresses extravagantly and wears diamonds of great value. Some of the company have intimated that they believe there is some truth in the story. . AMUSEMENTS. GRAND OPEKA-HOU&E "NATURAL O AS." The Grand Opera-house was crowded last night with an audience that laughed almost continually. The occasion was the first perMforraance here of the new comedy success, "Natural Gas," which was presented by a com pany composed of exceptionally clever comedians and popular singers. Tbe comedy has no other purpose than to afford the individual members of the company an opportunity to do their best toward pleasing tbe audience, and that this was done was evidenced last night by roars of langbter, hearty applause and frequent re calls. Miss Amv Amen ns "Kitty Malone" and Miss Rachel Booth as "Jimpsy." both of whom have been public favorites since their appear ance in a "Tin Soldier." are remarkably clever and pleasing, while Miss Katherine, Howe, a very beautiful lady with a fine contralto voice and graceful stage presence, and Miss Jessie Oyler, a native of this place, who is rapidly rising in the profession, did some very fine sing ing. John Gilbert, Eddie Gerard and Henry Donnelly fnrni6h an endless amount of fun. The company is thoroughly good, and affords a great treat to people who want to laugh and hear some good singing.

To the Editor of the Richmond Telegram: Bv the accompanying resolutions you will see that the Orthodox Yearly Meeting of Friends, recently held here, took very decided ground in reference to the management of the benevolent institutions of the State. This, in connection with the action of the recent meeting of those in the civil-service movement, it is hoped, will add at least a mite in showing the demand of public sentiment for more hnmane treatment of inmates in these institutions, and especully the inmates in the Insane Hospital. That these perfectly helpless, irresponsible citizens should be the victims of political treach ery, and oe subject to orutal treatment at the hands of attendants. appointed without regard to qualifications in any sense, is a crying evil of which both politi cal parties when in power ought to be ashamed. Think of these unfortunate men abused, and the women's members, often of the best fam ilies of the State, placed under the charge of any girls picked up because they can to had cheap and are out of employment And cases of cruelty are often reported to others that the victims dara not report to' the proper officers for fear of greater suffering at the hands of these ward attendants. It is to be hoped, for the sake of these suffering fellow citizens and for the honor of the Slate, that persons will be appointed as care takers who have at least enough of human kindness in their hearts, as well as other qualifi cations for the place, to treat the insane with tbe common humanity that tbeir situation demands. - For the right. M. F. Thomas. ' " THE RESOLUTION. Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends.as a branch of the Church of Christ, protests against the cruel and inhuman treatment sometimes inflicted upon those placed in the State benevolent and reformatory institutions, eipscially upon the helpless inmates of the insane asylums. e would raise our voice against it. And we call ou all other Christian denominations to join in the protest against the enormity of cruelty and crime practiced in some of the charitable institutions; and in striving to bring to bear whatever influence the church possesses to have tbe management of these institutions placed in the hands ofChristian men and women without regard to party affiliations. This was adopted almost by acclamation. An Inadequate Phrase. rittsbure Chronicle.

GEORGE A. TELEPHONE 725. CONGREGATIONAL WRATH. Plain Words of Warning; from a New Ilaren Minister. few Ilaren Special. The liev. Dr. Newman Smyth preached today in Centre Church oa tbe doings of the American Board at its recent meeting. Among other thine he said: " "The majority may not hare realized fully what they were dointr, hut there can be no question of the record which they have made and sealed. A caucus was held upon the morning of the day opon which the board was to assemble, and selected corporate members receired tickets of admission to it. In the report of tbe prudential committee and in the discussions which followed it there was an arraignment of our Congregational policy and a Tote by whicrf the board virtually says: 'We come as your asrent to your churches for your contributions, but we can not trust in matters of doctnue either you or your ministers, for we discredit tbe councils by whicn they are ordained and your fellowship is determined.' The practical problem is whether, under our Congregagational polity and by the customary agencies of our Congregational churches, any way can be found by mutual agreement and mutual toleration in which our churches and our ministers ran live aud work together in preaching the gonel of our common Master and in saving the world from its sin. The Congregational board's evil is that it is possible for the board to become the agency of a party for such pumoses as they may be pleased to employ it, and that it is not so organized as to be the representative of the churches. The wrong brought to licht is that the board has at last been possessed and med by a party, and that party once in ascendancy, can keep iteelf in power indefinitely. "Our Congregational churches support the board, but are not represented in it or by it. Hitherto we have paid into the treasury of the board a voluntary and loyal tax, but now we cannot submit to taxation without representa tion. Congregational polity means notlung if not unity of the spirit in the liberty of tbe gospel. Our churches have final power and authority. Whatever boards, committees or caucuses may do, they will, when they uaderstand the matter, never consent to the domination in the very heme of the Puritans of a religious oligarchy. Is a division to take place, a schism to be run through the religious life of New England?- By the grace of God, no! No men or body xf men,can force a division in our churches. I venture no prophecy about tbe American Board. Time will show. The Amer ican board must ere long pause in its present policy of exclusion. A body which has been drawing on its legacies, as was stated at Spring field, at the rate of if -Ut), UUt per annum beyond its income is very near a precipice. It must come back to the churches for advice and counsel. The end was not reached at Springfield. " The President's JefTersonlan Simplicity. Milwaukee Sentinel. It has" been doubted whether President Cleve land possessed true Jeffersonian simplicity, but there is no longer any ground for question upon the subject. When banqueted by tbe 31 ad i son anglers last Saturday, at the Merrill Spring club house, one of the party asked: "Jlr. President, will you take wine or whisky?" ''Whisky is good enough for me," was the prompt reply of the creat man. This remark, like Jackson's, "Tbe Union, it must and shall be preserved, will go thundering down the ages in the collec tion of the memorable utterances of American Presidents. It forever settles the question of Mr. Cleveland's' Jeffersonian simplicity. A Thing That Will bometlrae Happen. Chicago Times. Some day it may possibly occur to the sur vivors of such atrocities as those of Chatsworth and Kouts that the first thing that ought to be done, after rescuing the bruised aud mangled living and the remains of tbe dead, is to catch the authors of the shocking tragedy, lead thera to the nearest telegraph pole, and hang tbem. One such irreenlar but energetic administration of justice would probably do more to insure the safety of passengers on railway trains than has been accomplished by ail the statutes araint criminal negligence that have been enacted in the last fifty years. The Virginia Bond Case. ( Lieneo Journal. Here is as complete a system of rebellion against the United States as can be instituted short of an appeal to force. Tbe State officers of Virginia, including the judiciary, are actiutr in open aud flagrant violation of the orders of the United states juaces, based on a decision of tbe Supreme Court of tbe united States. ith a rebel eeneral as Governor, and its State aud local offices filled with rebel soldiers, nothing else was to have beeu expected. The treasonable doctrine of State's richts is as firmly held by those in power in Virginia aom as it was in 18GL The Defeat of Coy. Chlcasro Journal.
