It would commence la small white uro which would have a silvery appearance, but were not deep ; but If I attempted to teal them, or soon after their first appearance, tbey would burn and run together until there was a complete dry, red Ecalo. which would become to InCuned as to craeü and look, fiery and angry, and the burning sensation would be almost intolerable. I wss a, times so lame that I could scarcely get about, and could not dresa myself without awiistcre. 1 ba7e tried many remedies, and have paid f 100 in a tingle instance to a physician, but have ever obtained only temporary relief. Although helped for a time, I soon re'apred again to be as badly trontled aa ever, and during the winter of 1"1 and 1SS2 I sufiered eo much as tobe entirely dinoouiftßtd.

American Courts for Mohammedan and Pagan Couttries - Bartholdi Statute Pedastal About Grant's Retirement. Whisky Tax Extension Bill Recommended by Secretary McCulIoch Notes. AMERICAS COURTS ABROAD. A Proposal to Establish American Courts in Pagan and Mohammedan Countries. Special to the Sentinel. Washiogion, Jan. 1G. It is proposed that perfect system of courts and laws be proTided lor the protection of American citizens residing in various countries outside of the United Slates, such us China, Japan, Turkey, and other places where Pagan or Mohammedan lawspievaiL Heretofore and now judicial powers hive been granted to courta from this to other ccuitrie3, and they have sat and do sit es Courts where Americans are on trial; bat their powers are considered too vaguely de&ned. These Consuls are gen erally not roen of knowledge of jurssprudence, yet they have held judicial power of life and death. Their ordinary duties ta Consuls are not judic'al, but require entirely different qualifications commercial knowledge and business tact yet they ara called upon to sit in judgment where very impartant law matters are at Issue. It has long been held by the Department f S'ate tl.at there should be established, in he extensive American communities existing in these countries, tribunals purely judicial to pass upon the high questions, involving life, commercial relations of vast interest, etc It is proposed to giye these courts jurisdiction in civil cases involving $000, and there shell be no appeal. In the principal cit:e3 of Japan. China and Turkey there Ehall be Judges, appointed by the President of the United Stater; also Clerks of the Courts; and the former ehall receive $3,000 a year and the latter 2,500 and traveling expenses. Interpreters, etc, are to be employed. The Courts sball be in continuous session. Trisons are aieo provided for. Representative Hitt, of Illinois, late Assistant Secretary of the Department of State, ha3 made a study of such matter?, and says this is a subject cf very great importance, and that there is no doubt whatever that theae courts will shortly be established. "A great many of cur citizens dwell with thsir families in those disiant countries, generally etg.-,i in cGinmeicIa- enterprises," faj8 he. "So American living there indeed, no citizen of any Christian nation is willing to have his rights of person or property subjected to pagm or Vohammedan laws and tribunals, or to the arbitrary method of dealing with foreigners, f closed by the local authorities. In Turkey the Koran is part of the law, in fact Its foundation, and religious notions enter into a sr-'it part cf the municipal Uw of the criaital countries. They c'Jen provide harsh punishments or tots we df,em harmless. They prescribe fantastic rales cf evidence. For example, in Mohammedan countries, a Christian is not a competent witness agiinst a Mussulman, and the testimony of a worn m counts but for half, two women witnesses being required to equal in weight the testirr ony of one man." THE B1RTII0LUE STnTUE. Tie Appeal to Congress to lay for tli Itulldltig of Its Tedestal. Special to the Sentinel. .Washington, Jan. 1G A good defl has bceneaidin Centres'! about the BartboUt Statue, and it i3 probab'.e a great dea! iudm will be tald, ai Sunset Cox has asie.l icr an appropriation of flOO.COO to aid in ita erection. The statue is to be placed in the middle of the Sew York harbor, and is senerally known as the Statue of Liberty Enlightening tie World." The scene of its location was that of many of the earliest battles for Independence. Tho movement for the monument was-begun In France in the summer of 1S75, waen a society was formed to take part in the then coming commemoration of the one hundredth anniversary cf the National independence of the United States. The society was called the "Union Franco-Ameri-caine de France," and the way in which it proposed to emphasize its sympathy in the great event about to be celebrated in the Ubited States, was the erection of a colcesal statue in the harbor of Sew York. It was conceived and desunodby M. Eartholdi, an eminent French iculptor, and hence its name of "Eartholdi Statue." France was strongly appealed to aid in the erection of this statue, and the alliance made between the French and Aaaerican people during oar struggle for independence was recalled, and the further good it might do in bringing the two people together pointed out eloquently. The work was recognized and eulogized by Congress. The statue when finished cost the French $250,000. It9 pedastal cost an equal amount. Of the latter some $130 000 is unpaid, and about that there is eo much talk here and in Sew York. The structure is to be 313 .feet high and cn ornament to Sew York, and

there is an impression that, although the statute represents a National subject and world-wide principles, the city of New York ought to help pay the debt without going to the Treasury of the United States for it. GRANT'S RETIREMENT.

The Trouble in the Iloae in RfCird to It Mors on Arthur's Action in the Porter Bill Than Asralp&t Grant, Special to the Sentinel. Washington, Jan. 1G. ' If the Orant Retirement bill does become a law by the default of Treeident Arthur, I should think that the Executive would feel pretty gmali," said General Rosecrans to-day. "What do jou? ' was asked. "Why, it looks as though lhe House would finally paes tha original bill and lerca the Senato to back down, ta usual, from its position, ff it becomes apparent that the Edmusd3 bill can not ba rsed in the Ilouse, and tho bill passed at the last session by the Senate, which names General Grant for retirement is adopted in the latter body it will be permitted to become a law by the failure of the President to sun it after ten days. This is to maintain the dignity of the President on the Fits John Porter bill." "What effect will the pa-sage of the Grant bill have upon the case cf Poitei ?" "Oh, it will almost insure in fac it will insure the passage of a bill restoring General Porter to the rolls of the army. I think that will ?' one of the first acts of the next Congress, l he Democratic party is willing, I guess, to nme all of the responsibility now, as Mr. Cleveland will sign the bill.'' NATIONAL NOTES. Indian Appropriation Bill Reopert for iZxTiee President Scltujler Colfax Washington, Jan. 1G. The Indian Appropriation bill, agreed upon by the House Committee on Appropriations, provides an appropriation cf $5,0X1,130; th9 estimates amounted to 7,323 013.

The bill provides for fine and imprisonment whenever any person thall furnish any Indian guns or ammunition, except the civilizsd Indians of the Indian Territory. The President is empowered to disarm such Indians 3 in his judgment may seem best to preserve lb peace and prevent depredations.

Interesting Testimony in the Cincinnati Investigatlon Case - Indianapolis Furnished Ten Deputy Marshals. Auother Unsuccessful Effort Start a "Double Header" at Fort Wayne. to THE WRIGHT INVESTIGATION. Harry S. New, of This City, Took Ten Men to Cincinnati, All of Whom Were Appointed and Acted as Deputy ?karhals. Cincinnati, Jan. 1G In the Springer Committee investigation to day, B. T. Sprague W83 the first witness. He told cf being assaulted and severely beaten by Deputy Sheriffs because he protested against the brutal treatment of a colored man arrested for illegal voting. J. J. Gleascn, Deputy Marshal of the Nineteenth Ward, denied thot he shot at anybody or intimidated any one. He had a difficulty with Moran end threatened to shoot him, but did not. On cross-examination he said he had killed two men during his life. He was indicted in one case, but was never brought to triaL In the other the Grand Jury ignored the case. Mr. Fletcher, an attorney, told of a case where a negro cifering to vote in the Eighth Ward was forcibly dragged from the polls, bfaten and driven away. Anderson Bennett, colored, testified that he was challenged and immediately slapped in the face, and was pulled from the polls and aira.Ud by a Deputy Sheriff and bused and beaten on the way to the station 1 o .Be. He was soon release upon showing that he was a legal voter, and was afterward appointed a Deputy Marshal and gent to the Eighth Ward. Before reaching the polls he was attacked by a mob and driten to a house, where be was ehot by one of the mob, and afterward taken to the hospital in a patrol wagon. He ehot twice at the crowd after they began the pursuit. Jamea M. Gieu te3tified to two cases where negroes were arrested for non-reeidenc, whom he ascertained were legal voters, and had tbem released. One refused to go to the pells to vote and the ether was Mleassd too late to vote. Mr. Soran J. Lewis, Republican Jude of the Sixth Ward polls, said the trouble started at that plac-3 by & Democratic colored itan challenging a colored voter, and immediately striking him. The witt)fS3 was tbre&Uned by tha crowd for his action as Jcdpe. Henry Kessler te?tintd to cases of ccbred rxien irr-properly arretted on election day. David Kinney, ecl jrel. testified that he was arrested, though he had lang beea a resident ann votr. Mr. Follett introduced Mr. Barbesug'ti, City Marshal of Tans, Ky.. who teätiäed t f-piE r. number of car-loads of colored paopie coming to Cincinnati, a few days before tl e election. Some came back afUr ti e election, and ecite never cime back. Oa crcis examination he said some of the men wore rtc.al;a. J. C. Harper, United States Comuiisf.ioner, testified that no such warrant as the one presented in evidence by the other side was ever issned by him. The warrant presented lad no names and no ofTenee charged, but simply authorized the Deputy Martshai bearing it to arrest "certain persons to bo pointed out." Witness presented the affidavit upon which the warrant wes irsued, nnd also tha warrant afterward issued by him for the arrest of police cfiicars who had amsted Deputy Marshals, frcm which he wai crta n the warrant he issued to the Deputy Marshals ccntaiced tte haruei of six or eight persons, and dfscribpd the oilense cf conspiiiEg to vote illegally. Harry S. New, city editcr of an Indianapolis paper, testified that lie came to Cincinnati with ten men. whom he brought at the request of E. G. Rathbone, for the purpose of spotting Indianapolis repeaters. He gave their r ames and described the men as reliable for the pnrpose required. He had information that suspicions meu were coming here frcm Indianapolis, and thought it necessary that men should ce sent to watch them. On cross examination he said hig men all acted as Deputy Marshals. They received no lay from Marshal Wright. The witness received money from W. 8. Capeller, of the Lincoln Club, to pay the expenses of the-fe men. Both sides expect to close the testimony to-mo: row. STRIKING IHUKEUEX. Tbe Situation lucLaojed-Another Un. enece fteful Attempt to Take a Train Uut-What the Leader Says ItegHrriins tbe Strike. Fort Wayne, Ind., Jan. 10 The situation of the striking braketnen against the doubleheader system of the Pittsbars, Fort Wayne and Chicago Bailrcad, remains unchanged. The only incident of note to day was aa effort of the City Marshal, accompanied by three deputies, to serve warrants cf arrest on seven of the leaders of the strike. A large body of strikers assembled and wonld not allow the men to be taken, andjthen tbe Marshals withdrew from the scene. The Mayor has called upon the entire night police force to report for duty this afternoon, when another effort will be made to move a freight train from the yards, and the authorities w:ll attempt the arrest of all the Btrikers who interfere with the movement of tbe train. The pay car arrived this morning and paid off tbe employes as uttial. with no disturbance. At 3 o'clock ttij afternoon a third unsuccessful attempt aa -ade by the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railway officials to "move the freight trains blockaded here by reason of the brakemen'a strike aca:nst the double header system of running freight trains. Superintendent Law, together with Master Engineer Polhamus, attempted to take an engine from the round hcuse to attach to a freight train tbey wished to eend east. The strikers allowed tbem to take the engine and run it cuUide, when one of the several strike npcu theengine laid hold ol the whistll

and blew it vigorously. This signal for aid as responded to quickly by the other strikers scattered in and around the yards cf the company guarding switches, etc. They compelled Mr. Polhamus who had hold of the trottle of the engine, to give place to a striker, while others assisted Mr. Polhamus to dismount, a striker holding his hands over Mr. Polhamus's eyes to prevent him frcm seeing who laid hands upon him. The engine was returned to the round house and her fires drawn. A Associated Press reporter called upon the strikers this afternoon and interviewed their leader at their headquarters in car CO. He said: We are peaceable men who desire to destroy no property or to harm any one, but we will not allow a 'double'header' to leave Fort Wayne under any circumstances. If we submit to 'doubleheaders,' it throws many men who have families dependent upon them out of work, and those who do work can not live upon the wages they can earn. Business is light, and a brakeman under the 'double-header:' system can not make more than one round trip per week, which would make his pay $4.80 per week, and that will not pay his board, to say nothing of his family. Each of our rren have signed a pledge not to toucb. liquor while the Etrite las:?. 1; any ma a treats his pledge 2 tave a pohce force of our own wtovvill arrest him and place him In oar jail and keep him for twenty four hours il need be. lre machine bends and workmen in lhe several Kreo factories and chops will aid us, if need be. in our e3oits to maintain a principle, In.'an hour 1 c in call to me aid 1. 400 men. 1 do not thick this will be nccespary, but it will te done if en attempt is made to use force in Marlin? the 'Mouble-neaders." We have received many offer ol pecuniary aid, but have declined them eo far. 1 understand warrants have been sworn out for five of our men. The City Marshal and his deputies called this afternoon to serve them, but the men are not here and will not be found. Thay have left the city. One weak-kneed striker, and two men who were not strikers, intimated that if there was no danger they would go out with a train guarded, but they were persuaded it would be dangerous. "We have no fears of desertions from our ranks." Late this afternoon Mayor Zollinger issued a proclamation calling upon the striking brakemen to cease interfering with the railroad company and the moving of trains, and warning all persons who had no legal right3 upen the grounds of the railroad company to leave them, quoting the penalty for interfering with the railroad company in its business, etc. Just what effect this proclamation will have npcu the striken remains to be eeen. The railrcad officials eay this evenin? that they have nothing to eay further than that the cituation remains unchanged. The pay car, which was due here to-day, did not arrive, 3 was erroneously stated before, but came only as far west as Upper Sandusky, 100 miles east of here. Tbe paymaster returned to Pittäburg. It is understood the employes here will not be paid until after the present trouble is settled.
