Griffin Messenger : A late number of !
the Telegraph and Messenger ( Macon, I
Ga.,) contains a letter from Mrs. R. J.
Screven, of Liberty county, on the sub
ject of tea cultivation in this State. The
letter gives a full and interesting account
of the. manner of planting and cultiva
ting this valuable plant, and shows very
clearly that the soil and climate of por
tions of this State are well adapted to its
growth. This fact has been familiar to
the writer for years. He saw the plant
growing vigorously in Columbia, South
Carolina, twenty years ago. Mrs. Screven
writes that “in April, 1887,1 think it was,
Mr. Howard, from Baltimore, who had
been engaged on a plantation for several
years in the East, visited my father’s
plantation in this county. He expressed
himself as being surprised at the splendid
growth of the tea. Ashe was there at the
time of gathering the young leaves, he
plucked from one bush alone, prepared
the tea himself, and took it on to Balti
more, where he had it tested and weighed.
He wrote back that it had been pro
nounced stronger and of superior flavor
to the imported, and that by calculation,
be was satisfied that four hundred and
fifty pounds of cured tea could be made
here at the South, to one acre of ground.”
Atlanta Herald: On Saturday an ap
plication was filed in Fulton Superior
Court by Mr. Fisher, the receiver ap
pointed by Judge Woods of the United
States Circuit Court, wherein he asks
Judge Hopkins for permission to file a
petition in said court to set aside his ap
pointment of Col. L. P. Grant as re
ceiver of the Atlanta and Richmond Air
Line Railway. This matter being one of
very grave importance and one which
cannot be viewed too lightly, a Herald re
porter visited Judge J. Collier, Attorney
for some of the parties who are opposed
to Fisher, His Honor, Judge Hopkins, and
Mr. Fisher himself. From information
gained from the first and latter gentle
men, it would seem that this question is
one of immense magnitude, and that Mr.
Fisher, as receiver, representing as he
does the interest of the first mortgage
bondholders, could not have been a party
to the suit when the order of Judge Hop
kins was made appointing Col. Grant as
receiver. Neither had he the oppor
tunity. This he now seeks. The sim
ple question then, as we understand
it. will be, not whether Judge Hopkins,
as a State judicial officer, shall be over
ruled by a Federal judicial officer, but
whether his court will now revoke its
order, open the door, and allow a party
who is behind time to come in and open
the question again. To say the least of
it, this matter is one for very serious
consideration, and we feel fully assured
that Judge Hopkins will preserve the
dignity of himself and his court, whatever
liis course may be in the premises.
Next Saturday has been set as the day
upon which he will hear and
determine whether he will allow
them to file the petition. We under
stand that the same kind of application
has been made to Judge Bond, of North
Carolina, with regard to Col. Bufords
appointment as receiver of that portion
of the road in that State. This being
true, and both Judges agreeing that they
were wrong in appointing receivers, it
would then place the road in the hands
of Mr. Fisher, as receiver for the whole
line, as appointed by the United States
Circuit Court.
No Compromise.
Under this head the New Orleans Pica
yune, of Tuesday, has the following arti
cle, which doubtless reflects the senti
ments and determination of the decent
people of Louisiana with regard to the
Kellogg fraud:
It is generally conceded that if we ever
had a strong case before the country we
have it now; that if there has ever been
a time when, secure in their svmpathv
and intelligent comprehension, we could
confidently leave our affairs to be dealt
with by the people of the United States,
that time is the present. From the utter
ances of representative men, and the
sentiment of the public at large as re
flected in the leading journals, we gather
that the only proper course for Louisiana
is to maintain the attitude she now occu
pies, preserve the heroic patience and
endurance which have thus far won the
admiration of friends and enemies alike,
and wait for the voices of her sister States
to render judgment. Nothing could be
more fatal, more foolish, more criminal,
than to yield one inch of our ground or
barter away one thousandth part of our
advantage. To consider any proposition
of compromise, to enter into any pre
liminaries of an adjustment involving
recognition of the Kellogg government
and acceptance of the outrage which has,
through the medium of that government,
been inflicted on us, would be the climax
of fatuity and madness. We might bet
ter afford to resist the military, even to
the extent of overriding it, than to com
mit this act of crowning folly.
The time when any good was possible
as a result of concessions made to the
Kellogg usurpation has irrevocably pass
ed. All the world knows now that Kel-
logg is not our Governor, and that in him
resides as little power to bring about
prosperity and revive our murdered
peace as he maintain, by his own
resources, the poor mockery of au
thority to which the National army
gives present substance. He is the
medium through whom Grant’s vindic
tive hatred strikes home to us; a limp
and helpless effigy, a nonentity with
a name. To compromise with him would
simply be enabling Grant to pursue his
policy towards Louisiana without in
curring the odium and condemnation
justly attaching to it—fixing anew
upon our necks a yoke which Kel-
logg cannot ease, but whereon the
taskmaster may press at will. W e
have nothing to lose by a relaxation of
our attitude. A part from the useless
ness of such a course; apart from the
utter vanity of hopiug for any justice or
forbearance in Grant; it would be a cow
ardly resignation of the advantages our
courage and patience have achieved, a
base desertion of the principles we pro
fess to hold so dear.
Let Kellogg keep the army and navy
at his back; let Grant retain the ac
knowledged patron of the wretched farce
he is pleased to call the Government of
Louisiana. It has become so foul that a
gentleman cannot touch it withont con
tamination ; so odious that a patriot can
not gaze upon it without horror and in
dignation.
Masked Burglars in New Jebset.—
Mr. John Reading, who lives on the
Orange Mountain, two miles north of
Livingston, New Jersey, went away from
home° two weeks ago on business. His
wife and three children—a boj’ of four
teen years, and two younger girls—who
remained at home, were aroused early
yesterday morning by tramping of feet
downstairs. Mrs. Reading went down,
and was seized by two masked men, who
bound and gagged her, and laid her on
the floor. The children soon followed,and
were also bound and gagged. The men
then leisurely ransacked the house, taking
*800 worth of silver plate, which had
been handed down in Mr. Reading's fam
ily $000 worth of jewels, and $1,400 in
cash With this booty they made good
their escape, although they dropped the
cash near the gate. ......
The family were in their night cloth
ing and they all but froze to death. The
youngest child contrived to remove the
eag and cried; but it was 10 o’clock be
fore a passer by heard her aud the mother
and her children were released.—New

Assembly.
New Orleans, January 13.—At the St.
Louis Hotel, about half-past twelve to
day, I found in the Hall of Representa
tives the Kellogg Senate and Rump
House sitting in Joint Assembly to com
pare the journals, and to act definitely
upon Tuesday's election of ex-Governor
Pinchback to the United States Senate. A
quorum of the Senate was present, the
negro Antoine presiding. A pretended
quorum of the House was declared pres
ent. The formality of the occasion was
observed, Pinchback was declared elcted,
a faint cheer was uttered, and a resolu
tion was adopted ordering the proceed
ings to be furnished to Gov. Kellogg.
Pinchback is now in Washington, aud
may probably receive by telegraph to
night detailed aud authentic particu
lars of his second sham election. At
the farthest he will claim his seat by
Monday next, and his claim must be
granted, unless the Senate repudiate the
action of the intrusive military on Janu
ary 4. Few here doubt the issue. Pinch
back will be seated, and the Senate will
thus, in effect, sanction all that has
been done in this State by Federal
authority. Poor Louisiana, throttled,
stifled aud silenced at home, and only
represented in the Senate of the Union by
white West, an alien enemy, and by yellow
Pinchback, the bully of negro saloons and
the manager of negro gambling dens.
He is experienced, cuuning. wily, ready
in debate, full of shifts, not lacking in
pluck, intensely selfish, covetous, but
lavish, apparently confiding, but really
suspicious, aud equally ready at any time
to play the braggart, the counselor or the
montebank. How will the Senate, how
will Washington, how will the clubs, how
will society receive Louisiana's new Sena
tor ?—Courier-Journal.
The Investigating Committee in
Alabama.
The investigating committees appointed
by Congress to look into the Southern
outrage business, have encountered some
stubborn facts which will not be particu
iarly agreeable to those who expected to
make political capital out of the revival
of fabricated election stories. One
branch of the investigators has been tak
ing testimony in Opelika, Ala., and the
evidence instead of meeting the hopes of
the < arpet-baggers and their allies has
resulted in showing the acts of the Re
publican politicians in a most disgraceful
light. Some very interesting information
has been unearthed in relation to the way
in which government bacon, issued for
the relief of the overflowed districts, was
used to buy votes for the Grant party.
In one instance three casks of this bacon
was traced to an African church, on the
occasion of a political supper, tho negroes
who took the meat out of the casks being
the witnesses in this case. A good deal
of curious information has also been ob
tained in relation to the character of the
witnesses who certified to the alleged out
rages.
in Mobile the evidence was so strong
against the outrage manufacturers that
the Republican majority refused to ad
mit testimony except on one side, a pro
ceeding which has called forth a protest
from the citizens of that city. They
limited their investigation to the ex
amination of two military officers, a few
carpet-baggers, and a large number of ne
groes of the worst class: but the minority
subpoenaed and examined sixty or seventy
witnesses, including some of the most
intelligent citizens of Mobile, both white
aud colored. The witnesses examined by
the minority, both white and black, con
curred in testifying that there had been
no intimidation excepting by Radical ne
groes towards those of their own color
who proposed to vote the Democratic
ticket. It was proved that in several in
stances Democratic negroes had been beat
en, and in one instance a negro had been
killed for daring to vote the Democratic
ticket.—iV. Y. Sun.
Measures “To Legalize Repeating”—
Proposed Repeal of State Election
Laws by Congress.— Washington, Janu
ary 12, 1875.—The House Judiciary Com
mittee have agreed to report two biiis,
framed by Mr. White, of Alabama, which
have become known here as acts to legal
ize repeating. One of them sets aside
the registration acts of the States hy re
quiring that the inspectors of elections
shall admit the vote of any person who
has not registered upon his sole affidavit
that he was prevented from registering.
It also punishes by fine and imprison
ment any one who appears near the polls
on election day with arms, open or con
cealed. If the bill becomes a law, Mar
shal Fackard will not, at any rate, be able
to send United States troops to the polls
in Louisiana on election day. The other
bill is intended, it seems, to nullify a
constitutional regulation in Georgia aud
other Southern States by which the pay
ment of a school tax of $1 is made a
prerequisite to voting. This tax was
generally evaded by the colored men, and
those who fail thus to support the schools
weie rejected at the polls. Th9 school
poll tax was incorporated into the consti
tution in Georgia by an amendment, and
the real question which Mr. White’s bill
raises is whether Congress can prevent a
State from amending its constitution so
long as it does not in amendment dis
criminate unequally between citizens.
The two bills will be reported by General
Butler.
In one village in Asia Minor, which
contained, before the famine, about
seventy families, only thirty are left. Of
these, ten have no grain and no means of
support. In another village forty-five
j>ersons have died of starvation, and half
the population are utterly destitute.
Few of the people had been able to sow
anything this autumn, owing to want of
seed and cattle. The relief funds are
being distributed without regard to creed
or nationality, and it is stated that the
very proudest Greeks, Armenians and
Turks are so humbled by hunger, that
they are glad to receive relief from any
hands.

(•overnor Tiiden’s Message to tlie .New
York Legislature.
Executive Chamber, >
Albany, January 12, 1875.)
On your re-assembling I deem it to be
my duty to invite your attention to the
grave events which have happened in our
sister State of Louisiana. The interval
of your adjournment has afforded you an
opportunity to receive the statements of
the parties concerned in those occurences,
particularly that of Lieutenant-General
Sheridan, in his official report to the Secre
tary of War, dated January 8, 1875. You
are* now enabled to know with certainty
all the facts necessary to form a just and
deliberate judgment as to the nature of
the principal acts which have created so
much public excitement.
According to the official report of Lieu
tenant General Sheridan, United States
soldiers entered the House of Represen
tatives of the State of Louisiana, while
that body was in session, and removed
from it five of its members. The pre
texts for that act are: First, that it was
done under direction from the Governor
of the State recognized by the President;
second, that the persons removed had
been illegally seated, and had no legal
right to be there; third, that a fear ex
isted in the mind of Lieutenant General
Sheridan that in some undefined contin
gency violence might happen.
With respect to the first and second of
these pretexts, it is a decisive answer that
the Louisiana House of Representatives
had, by the Constitution of that State,
the exclusive judgment as to the right of
these members to seats; that its judg
ment is subject to no review by any ju
dicial authority, still less a review by the
Governor or any officer of the United
States army ; that its judgment in favor
of these members thus partly reviewed is
binding in law and conclusive upon the
Governor, and Lieutenant General Sheri
dan and upon everybody else.
In respect to the third pretext, the fear
in the mind of Lieutenant General Sheri
dan of possible future violence, when no
violence really existed, is not only no law
ful occasion, but even no excuse for an
invasion of the right of the House of
Representatives of Louisiana to judge for
itself of the title to seats of its own
members. Interference by United States
soldiers was not only unlawful, but was
without the color of legality—it was an
aetjof naked physical force in violation of
the laws and constitution of Louisiana
aud of the laws and Constitution of tho
United States. There is a case of a dis
puted seat in the Senate of this State now
pending. Another was determined at the
last session. The transaction in Louisi
ana is as if, at the instance of the Gover
nor of this State, General Hancock, or
any officer specially deputed by tho
President commanding in this depart
ment, should send a file of Fed
eral soldiers and remove the incumbent
to whom the seat had been adjudged by
the Senate. That disorders have for
merly existed in Louisiana make no differ
ence, for the laws to which the President
and Congress are parties recognize the
complete restoration of her autonomy.
The right of her legislative bodies to de
termine the title of their members is as
perfect and absolute as the right of the
Assembly or Senato of New York. The
animus of the transaction as indicated by
the correspondence between Lieutenant
General Sheridan and the Secretary of
War is infinitely worse than the transac
tion itself. On the day after this event,
Lieutenant General Sheridan sent a dis
patch proposing that a class of citizens,
indefinite in numbers aud description,
should be declared either by act of Con
gress or by proclamation of the Presi
dent, to be banditti, aud then intimated
his purpose to try them and exe
cute them by military commission.
On the next day General Belknap,
the Secretary of War, telegraphed
to General Sheridan that “The Pres
ident and ah of us have full confidence
in and thoroughly approve your course.”
The nature of the acts thus proposed by
the officer second in command of the
army of the United States aud thus
adopted and sanctioned by the President
aud his constitutional advisers is plainly
declared by the common law in the re
cent case of “The Queen against Nelson.”
The present Lord Chief Justice of Eng
land, in delivering the charge to the
grand jury, declared that, supposing
there is no jurisdiction at all, the whole
proceeding is c<yram nan judice; that if
the judicial functions are exercised by
persons who have no judicial authority
or power, aud a man's life is taken, that
is murder, for murder is putting a man
to death without a justification, or with
out any of those mitigating circumstances
which reduce the crime of murder to one
of a lower degree.” Thus in the case put
by Lord Coke, of a Lieutenant, having a
commission of martial law, who puts a
man to death by martial law in time of
peace—that, says Lord Coke, is murder.
Such are the established doctrines of
the jurists and courts of this country and
of England. Such is the voice of tie
common law. Glorious jurisprudence of
freedom—birthright of every American
citizen. Its stern logic declares that
such an execution of any human being,
as was proposed and sanctioned in this
correspondence, would be murder by our
laws, and that every functionary, civil or
military, who should instigate it, aid or
abet it, or become in any manner a party
to it before the fact, would be guilty ns a
principal in that crime. The patriot
statesmen who achieved our national in
dependence and formed our institutions
of government foreboded, if we should
ever fall into intestine strife, that the
ideas it would inspire in the military
mind, of insubordination to the laws and
of uncivil ambition, and the habit it
would generate in the people, of acquies
cence in acts of unlawful military vio
lence, would imperil, if not destroy civil
liberty. Events compelled us to a manly
choice of confronting these dangers in a
struggle to save our country from dis
memberment, and to vindicate the just
rights of the Federal Union. Having
triumphed in that struggle, now forever
closed, we are made sensible of the wise
foresight of the founders of our freedom
in their naming of the opposite dangers
which would attend our success.
Those dangers come to us in the acts
of illegal military violence committed in
times of peace: in the usurpation by the
soldiery of a power to decide the mem
bership of our legislative assemblies,
whose right to judge exclusively in such
cases has ever been guarded with peculiar
jealousy by our race;, in the proposal
made and accepted by our highest civil
and military functionaries, to subject our
abuses to a tribunal in which a military
officer will decide, without appeal, what
person, happening to be found in the
locality, shall be sent to them for trial,
will appoint the members of the court,
will review and confirm or change the
judgment and the sentence, and may or
der instant execution, and in which the
accused will be tried in secret and with
out counsel for his defence. This propo
sition is thus made and sanctioned, not
withstanding that for similar acts our
English ancestors sent the first Charles to
the scaffold and expelled the second James
from the throne.
Our own forefathers, excited by kin
dred tyranny and planting freedom in the
wilderness, were careful to insert in all
our Constitutions positive prohibitions
against the application to any but mili
tary persons of such tribunals. Unless
such a proposition shall be condemned
by a public reprobation, which will make
it memorable, and a warning to all future
officers of the State and the army, the
loss of our ancestral traditions of liberty
acquired through ages of conflict and
sacrifice, the education of the present
generation to servile acquiescence in the
maxims and practices of tyranny, will
have realized the fears of Washington,
and Jay, and Clinton, and their compa
triots.
New York, first of the commonwealths
of the American Union in population and
resources, and in military power, should
declare her sentiments on this occasion
with a distinctness, a dignity and a solemn
emphasis which wifi command the
thoughtful attention of Congress, of her
sister States, and of the people of our
whole country, with the same unanimity
with which she upheld the arms of the
Union in the past conflict. Sbe should
now address herself to the great aud
most sacied duty of re-establishing civil
liberty and the personal rights of in
dividuals. of r.storing the ideas and
habits of freedom, and of reasserting the
supremacy of civil autho ities over milita

Soldiers not Statesmen, Though
Statesmen May he Soldiers.
It is one of the problems of the day
how a cabinet, composed mostly of civil
ians, comes to thoroughly approve the
acts and dispatches of Sheridan. It is
conceivable that Gen. Grant, having only
a military education.might, without any ul
terior motive, make a blunder in approving
Sheridan’s acts, as he unquestionably did
in sending such a man upon such a mis
sion. The Cabinet, however, comprising
civilians of more or less knowledge of
law, must have known the legal impossi
bility of granting Sheridan’s request that
the President should proclaim the lead
ing citizens of Louisiana banditti.
They must have been aware of the
Milligan and Bowles habeas corpus cases,
decided before the Supreme Court of the
United States after the close of the war,
showing the judicial discovery of tho
danger in which the supremacy of the
military arm had placed the lives and lib
erties of the people in all the States.
They must have remembered all the facts
iu the Dorr insurrection in Rhode Island,
and the careful abstinence of the Federal
Government from interposing its military
power in that dispute. The right of a
Legislature in a free State to pass upon
its own members could not have been un
known to the members of Gen. Grant’s
Cabinet. Yet Secretary Belknap tele
graphs to Sheridan, on the receipt of one
of the most scandalous dispatches ever
sent by a military officer in a free govern
ment, “The President and all of us have
full confidence in, and thoroughly ap
prove your course. ”
What the “course” was which was thus
approved we have heretofore shown. It
was a course, as they must have known,
calculated to provoke insurrection; it was
a course which they must have known,
if they knew anything, to be illegal; it
was a course which, by irresistibly arous
ing the sympathy of neighboring States,
might have resulted in another war.
There is no explanation of the fact that
a Cabinet composed of civilians could
have approved of such a thing except
upon the theory of their incompetency
for their places, or if they were by talent
and experience competent, that they
were overawed by the stronger will of
their official superior. It is gratifying,
therefore, to be informed now that two
or three of the members of the Cabinet,
including Mr. Fish and Mr. Bristow, did
not see that dispatch before it was sent,
and therefore had not given their assent
to it.
We agree with a contemporary that the
lesson of all this is that the Executive
powers of the government should never
be intrusted to a mere professional soldier.
The military education at West Point is
admirable for the special purpose of
making military men. But unless the
cadet iias a mind capable of comprehend
ing the genius and spirit of a free govern
ment, and the limited and subordinate
part which is assigned to the military un
der such a Constitution as that of this
countr}*, he will carry with him through
his whole life those despotic habits and
rigid ideas of persona! discipline, rank
and caste which are utterly irreconcilable
with the intelligent discharge of official
civil functions. We have had in such
men as Washington and Jackson the
soldier and the statesman combined,
but 1 \>th had been educated in civil
life, anl the military was only
an incident of their public career.
There have been many more i.n«tences
in this country of civilians having made
good soldiers than of professional soldier.*
having made good statesmen. Indeed
we have never had one case of the last,
aud the time has come, we think, when
the professional soldier is no longer re
quired as a prominent figure in American
affairs. There has never been iu this
couniry on9 single case of men educated
to arms who has demonstrated his fitness
for civil affairs. Wheu such a man is
raised by popular enthusiasm to the
highest civil position he cannot be too
modest in his estimate of himself, nor
too cautions how he rushes headlong
upon the ways where trained and ex
perienced statesmen step slowly, care
fully. and with the utmost vigilance and
circumspection.—Baltimore Sun.
The Freedman’s Savings Bank.
Washington, January 12.—Judge Dur
ham. of the Sub-Committee on Banking
and Currency, has drawn two bills on the
subject of the Freedman’s Saving and
Trust Company, and prepared a report
which will probably be agreed to by the
full committee. After showing the bad
financial condition of the institution, the
report takes decided ground against the
proposition of many of the dejositors
ior the government to assume the losses,
aud also against the request for the gov
ernment to advance a sum equal to the
cash value of the assets. As there are
72,000 depositors in eleven States having
sums due them ranging from $1 to $11,-
(XH), the committee deem it impractica
ble to pay a pro rata of five per cent., as
requested.
The report proposes to get rid of the
three Commissioners at a salary of $3,000
each, and to substitute one Commission
er at a salary of $5,000. It is proposed
that the Secretary of the Treasury shall
appoint this Commissioner and supervise
hi i acts. It is also proposed to clothe
the Commissioner with a large -discretion
to compound and compromise debts and
sell the property of the bank, and for
any dividend thus arising to be paid by
the United States depository banks.
Provision is made in the bill for a
thorough examination by the Commis
sioner of what has been done, and au
thority is conferred on him and the
Secretary of the Treasury to institute
judioiul proceedings against the officeis
and agents of the bank. As a largo
amount of money of the bank is now lying
idle, it is arranged for this to be invested in
United States bonds unless a dividend
be speedily made. The committee are
of opinion that it is expedient for the
government to buy the building near the
Treasury Department now used by the
bank and the adjacent lots, which will to
gether cost about $325,000, and they re
port a special bill for this purpose. If
this purchase be made, a dividend of
twenty per cent, can be made at an early
day. The report is very weighty and ju
dicious. and the bills are well adapted to
protect the interests of the unfortunate
depositors.
The Washington Free Lunch Lobby.
—One of the saddest phases of Washing
ton life is daily presented at the free-
lunch tables of our large hotels. Here one
sees daily gathered, with a greed begotten
of want, aud which debars all that polite
ness so becoming to any one at an eating
table, men whose mission in life has been
defeated in the uncertainties of war and
politics, and whose name, though once
great, have sunk into obscurity in the
rapid changes of our system of govern
ment. The General and statesman of
yesterday come to-day to the bar-room
and surreptitiously seek that food which
is intended for regular customers, and
they who once looked upon the bar
keeper as a low-lived individual now ap
proach him obsequiously, and leave him
sneakingly when he detects them in the
act of pocketing the crackers and cheese.
What a sad commentary upon the vicissi
tudes of men who make life artificial.
The great difficulty with them has been
that they have not addressed themselves,
when the tide of life was at its flood, to
its true and serious ends, and now this
mistake comes to them in this most
humiliating form. The free-lunch table
was one of the institutions that did not
exist in Shakespeare’s time, or else we
would have had from that great master a
philosophical free-luncher’s soliloquy.—

If you must go to Texas, go. If you
must bathe in the violet beds, aud dry T
yourself under a sunflower, go. If you
must seek health in the chase of the swift,
wild tarantula, and want to make the

all your money before you start, and
don’t look with contempt upon the possi
bilities of the first six months of your
existence in the new Slate.

An Indian at the .Marine flu«pitnl SoiimN
the War-Whoop at 2 A. M. and Strikes
Terror into the Souls of the Negroes.
That Indian who was placed in the
United States Marine Hospital Saturday
has created some trouble w ithin the walls
of that institution. His height was
previously mentioned at six feet five
inches when standing in his stocking feet.
His real height, however, is six feet
nine inches. When he first came to the
hospital a bed had to be made to
accommodate his enormous length. He
is of the Modoc tribe, aud is a full
blooded Indian, having stiff black hair,
j very long, aud features akin to the cop
per color. His appearance in the negro
ward of the hospital, which contains
about fifty negroes, was like a bombshell
i bursting upon a camp. Every one from
* the bully to the craven-hearted feared
him, aud wheu he glared at them with
his large rolling eyes, or lifted a fourteen-
inch shoe at them, they shrauk back in
terror. “Modoc John” is afflicted with
pneumonia, and at times is delirious. In
his sleep he wanders off iuto the laud of
his fathers, and dreams that he is a brave
warrior, taking hundreds of scalps and
adding reputation to his tribe.
About two o’clock yesterday morning,
“John”—that is his name—became very
delirious, and as he dreamed of his an
cestors his blood began to boil. Suddenly
there sounded throughout the hospital
building a terrific shriek, similar to the
wor-whoop of the Modoc Indians. Oth
ers followed in quick succession, and as
the fifty negroes awoke, with the sound
ringing in their ears, they beheld a tall
figure in the centre of the large room
dancing an Indian war-dance, yelping at
the same time with all the power contain
ed in his lungs.
The effect was simply indescribable.
The bully of the negroes, one Ed. Mont
gomery, a notorious big buck negro, al
most naked as he was, made a break for
the door, and ran out of the building into
the yard as fast as his legs could carry
him. Forty-six others followed suit,
scampering in all directions, and hiding
themselves in some nook or corner, where
they crouched shivering with cold, and
pale aud trembling with fright. Three of
the negroes were too ill to get out of bed,
but, notwithstanding, made desperate ef
forts to escape the reach of the demon-
like Indian, whose cries continued louder
and faster, while his gyrations around the
room struck additional terror into the
souls of the poor negroes. They rolled
out of their beds on the floor, where they
remained motionless and breathless, fear
ful lest the slightest noise would attract
the attention of the delirious red man to
their whereabouts. But the latter sud
denly stopped his antics, and, rushing to
the window, jumped out into the porch
below, where he sounded the war-whoop
in the chill air, the echo being heard far
away.
The whole house was awake and in an
uproar. Meanwhile the surgeon of the
hospital was sent for, aud arrived shortly
afterwards, when he succeeded in get
ting the Indian back to his couch, and
also, after much persuasion, the terribly
alarmed negroes to their couches, their
illness increased by the terror with which
the “big Injun” had inspired them, and
the cold, chilling night air to which
they had subjected themselves. They
begged the surgeon that ho would put
“John” under the rules of the hospital,
which they themselves had to strictly
follow out, but the physician, after
measuring the size of John’s foot and
figure as well as his weight, concluded
that as heavy a weight as he himself was,
he would not apply the rules too press-
ingly upon his patient. “Modoc John”
is “boss” of the colored ward of the hos
pital, and has conveyed such an idea of
his importance upon the minds of the
colored patients, that they submissively
b >w to his will and recognize the Indian
for once lord and master of his domain.
