MERIDIAN, Miss-, Dec. 17.—[Special.]—
This morning a number of telegrams were
eceive l here stating that a riot had occur-
' I at Wahalak, Kemper county, fifty miles
north ®t Meridian, and that Holly Morton of
this pla ce h&d been killed - A P rty of
twenty men was at once organized and left
(,r the scene on the regular passenger traiu.
Subienuently another party of forty was
railed, and left on a special train.
A number of Wild rumors were soon
circulation, one to the effect that the posse
from this city had a fight with the negroes,
and that several of them had been wounded.
These rumors were set aside by the arrival
t he two posses on the regular mail tiain
light, who reported that everything was
“IS and that their presence was not
needed. They told the following story ot
,herl0t ' STOltY OP TUB RIOT.
List Thursday the son of Mr. G. F. Nichol
son, s prominent farmer of Kemper county,
was driving a wagon along the road leading
to Shuqualak, when he met a negro des
perado driving a team in the opposite
direction. Young Nicholson accideTltiv
brought his vehicle in collision with that of
the negro, who kept into the middle of the
road m if determined to drive the boy out.
The negro began cursing the youth, when
Nicholson appeared an interfered in the
bov’s behalf. The negro thereupon drew a
revolver, but instead of firing closed with
Nicholson, and brought the weapon down
with his full strength on the farmer’s face.
Nicholson fell senseless to the ground, and
when he recovered the negro had fled.
The following day Mr. Nicholson told his
friends of the negro's assault, and on Satur
day it was determined to organize a posse
and arrest Maury. Information of this de
termination of the whites reached the negroes
in some way.
NEGROES INCITED DY WHITE MEN.
It is said that two white men Withered a
party of negroes together til a church Sun
day night, and after haranguing them organ
ized a force of ten negroes to resist any at
tempt to arrest Maury or an attack on his
house. These whites are known to the peo
ple of Wahalak, but tlieir names cannot
be learned. It is their settled determina
tion to lynch them when found, and
the people argue that when they are hung
it will be the proper time to make their
names known. The negro force raised by
the two white men went to Maury’r. house
when the church meeting adjourned and
concealed themselves in the smoke house
and cotten houses. Very soon thereafter the
posse of whites came up the road and halted
in front of Maury's place. A few of them
walked up to hto residence, but found it de
serted. From the residence they went to
the smoke house, where they found three
negroes. These negroes were asked the
whereabout of Maury, but they pretended
they could not tell where he could be found.
While the whites were trying to extract
some information from them a man on the
• Btside shouted: “Here’s Mau*y; suppose
on come and arrest him.”
RECEIVED BY A VOLLEY.
The whites rushed la a body from the
building, and as they emerged were re.
ceived by a volley from eight or ten muskets
and shotguns. William Haugbaa was ee,
nously wounded by buckshot in the left
arm, ueck and shoulders, and another man,
whose name the whites will not reveal, rc
ceived a slight wound in the hand. This
volley came from the cotton house,
and was promptly returned bv
whites; but the negroes, being behind
stout plank walls, received no injury. The
whites soon discovered that they were fight-
iog at a great disadvantage and moved
around to the north side of the structure.
Here they received another voilev^resnltlr*
io the Instant death of Henry Hiurf, aud
the woudting of his brother, J. F. Maury, in
the arm near the elbow. The whiUs now
drew off, and the firing ceased temporarily.
ANOTHER ATTACK MADE.
Notwithstanding their losses, however, the
posse determined to make another attack
on the cotton house. Approaching it this
time from the south side, as they came up
to the building they received a third volley,
the negroes apparently awaiting the
order to fire, as they had
done In the two previous Instances.
At this third volley, Seth Cobb received
twenty-two buckshot in the breast and
stomach, tearing the entire front of his body,
from neck to navel, away. John Dew, an
other of the whites, was also wounded, per
haps mortally, by a pistol ball iu the groin.
The whites again urew off for consultation,
when it was determined that another attack
on the building with their reduced force
would be useless, and they determined to
w*it for daylight and reinforcements.
THE KKOBOSS FORTIFY.
While they were consulting, the negroes
Di*hed from the cotton house to Maury's
residence in a body, and proceeded to for
tify that building.
The whites went back to Wahalak jester*
day morning. Another force of fifty men or
wore was raised and proceeded to Maury’s
residence. The place *<ts found entirely
deserted, even the bedding and furniture
•Wviog been removed. The whites burned
me three buildings on the place together

not a nkoro in five miles.
It was impossible to come across a negro
in five miles of the scene of the trouble.
The white pennls from the adjoining towns
poured into Wahalali all day and joined in
the search, but as none of tne Degrees were
hi ,0 ? n ex:e Pt George Maury, they accom
plished nothing. One negro was seen lurk-
m the woods, and was fired upon by a
W tiru m an, but he instantly disappeared.

Interesting Sketch of a Famous Monetary
Institution.
Far back in the middle ages says Prof. BIRMINGHAM'S DELEGATION PROPH-
Thorold Rogers in “The Story of the Na- ESIES AT INDIANAPOLIS.
tions—Holland,” Venice had established a :
bank which should receive the coins of all' Tllc Urowth ot on 0verweel
nations, and give warrants to those per- sentiment t
sons who deposited such coins, which war-
rantsshould circulate from hand to hand,
just as bank ro cs do row. Three centu
ries after the Dank of Venice was founded,
a similar institution was established at
Genoa, on a somewhat similar basis. In
1009, the year of the truce, the Btnk of
Amsterdam was founded and before
the end of the century was known
to have metallic deposits with it to the
amount of $180,000,000—a treasure more
prodigious than any European financier
at that time thought could he possibly ac
cumulated. The notes issued by the hank
were supposed to be, and in theory were,
exactly equal in amount to the specie or
metallic money deposited in the strong
room of the hank. But tho notes of the
bank always bore a premium, due to the
convenience of the absolutely guarded
security which the holder of the note pos
sessed. Then the bank charged a small
sum on every account which was opened
with it, a small sum for negotiating bills
and transferring balances, besides a profit
which they derived from their own sub
scribed capital and their customers’ money
at call.
The bank was under the management of
the Amsterdam corporation, tho chiefs of
which examined the treasure annually,
and made oath that it was of the full
amount at which the managers of thebank
affirmed it to be. It was seen that the
well-being of this great commercial ceDter
was so much the interest of the Amster
dam municipality that they could be more
safely, trusted with the control of the in
stitution than any Btate official could be.
When 'nearly a century afterward the
project of starting a great central bank
in England was entertained, it was
though for a long time that the
system under which the Bank o
Amsterdam was managed should be the
medel of a bank to be established in Lon
don. In the end, and fortunately so,
other counsels prevailed, for in the seven
teenth century London had not been so
completely enucated in the principles of
commercial honor as to make the Amster
dam experiment a safe or convenient
mode for English practice. It is remark
able that not a few *f the first directors
of the Bank of England were Flemish set
tlers in London, who, driven from their
religion, brought over with them the
intelligence, sagacity aud integrity of
Netherland finance.
The reputation of the Bank of Amster
dam received a remarkable confirmation
in 16712. In this year Louis XIV., having
secured by heavy bribes the complicity
and assistance of Charles II. of England,
declared sudden war on the Dutch. It
was, perhaps, the most infamous war ever
waged, the most unprovoked and the most
unexpected. The King of France was at
this time at the hight of his power. The
King of England had been in what was
supposed to be firm alliance with Holland,
whose Stadtholder, afterward William III.
of England, was his nephew. The
administration of Holland was in the
hands of the brothers De Witt, who were
supposed to have been willfully negligent
of afiairs when the war broke out. The
Dutch were panic-struck at the calamity
which came on them, and the political
enemies of the De Witts goaded tne popu
lace on into murdering the two statesmen
—a crime to which it is to he feared Will
iam was privy, and by which he certainly
profited. The Dutch saved themseives
front permanent ruin by a prodigious self,
inflicted calamity. They cut the dykes,
laid the country tinder water and ballled
the invader. They punished Charles,
or rather his people, for the king’s perfidy.
Now, in that crisis there was a run on the
Bank of Amsterdam. But the city magis
trates took the alarmed dtnositors into the
treasury of the bank and showed them its
store untouched. Among the pieces of
money which lay there were masses of coin
which had been scorched and half melted
in the great fire which many years before
had occurred in the btndthouse. The
panic was allayed, the merchants were sat-
tsGed, and the reputation of the bank be

Indianapolis, Dec. 18—Among Gen. liar*
rison’s important visitors were some of the
southern capitalists and business men from
Birmingham, Ala., consisting of well-known
citizens, os follows:
Thomas S. Seddon, who is a son of Secre-
tary of the*Navy Seddon, of Southern Con
federacy, C. C. Carle, Jr., Frederick Sloss,
Henry F. DeBtrdlehen. David Roberts, C.
P. Williamson, Charles Turner, Edward
Thomas and Judge Henry B. Tompkins, lat
ter of Atlanta.
They were met at the depot by ex-Con-
pressman R. B. F. Pierce ami accompanied
by him, visited General Harrison at half past
four.
This committee is said by one of its num
ber to represent an invested capital of thirty
million dollars. Prior to the last election,
five out of nine were Democrats, bat all
voted the Republican ticket on the protec
tion issue. They presented to the President
elect the following memorial signed by capi
talists, representing one hundred million
dollars invested in the South.
THE ADDRESS TO IIARBISON.
To Gen. Benj. Harrison: We, the under
signed citizens of Alabama, congratulate you
and the country on the success of the princi
ples which have caused your election, be
cause we believe that a protective tariff will
promote and aid the development of our
natural resources and because an issue free
from sectional feeling and prejudice is now
prevented upon wlm-h the people f the
South can divide according to the dictates
of reason and eonvi«*tion. We know there
are large numbers in this section who think
as we do and are only restrained from public
expression and advocacy of their opinion by
a ieeling of uncertainty as to what will he
the policy adopted in the treatment of the
Southern problem and the apprehension that
any change in our government will be detri
mental to the best interests.
GOOD APPOINTMENTS ASKED FOR.
This fear, we believe, will be materially
lessened by good appointments, and the best
results of your election will be assured by
making appointments from that class of re
publicans who command the confidence and
respect of the communities in which they
live. Such appointments will develop two
strong parties and thus secure goods govern
ment.
Geo. Harrison received them cordially and
invited tbem into his library. The discus
sion was entirely informal, both on the part
of the committee and Gen. Harrison.
Mr. Seddon acted as spokesman, and ex
plained to Gen. Harrison the causes leading
to this new move in the South looking to
ward a readjustment of party lines.
THE GENERAL TALKED FREELY.
Gentlemen of the committee state that
Gen. Harrison talked freeely with them on
the subject of protection aud benefits the
North had reaped from it, which were also
open to the South. The development of the
South was gratifying to him.
The committee were particular to impress
upon Gen. Harrison the imnortmee of ap
pointing republican men for oflice in the
South.
The members of the committee are very
guarded nod secretive as to what, it any
dfinitc cxpieision the President-elect touch
ing his views of the Southern question, or
the race question. As to the latter it does
not seem to have entered directly into con
versation, but a prominent member of the
i-iiiiiiuiue*. Iu fciieakiug to an Associated
I*re»s correspondent, unguardedly made an
important admission when he alluded to the
commmittee urging upon Harrison the im
portance of appointing only such men to
oflice as were appointed in the North.
HE WILL APPOINT OOOD REPUBLICANS,
To this suggestion the general replied: “I
shall try to appoint only good officers in the
South—good republicans.’’
This quotation is not given as unquestion’
ably art’iir.il'*, f.»r w In n that g« ri:N mail’s
attention was called to the significance of
the last two words, he was silent and would
neither retract or deny.
The committee all unite in saying that
their visit was eminently fatisfactory and
they accomplished all they expected or de
sired. They ore emphatic in their denial
that there’s any politics In their visit, such
a . seeking offices for friends, nnd suggested
no nanes to the President elect, nor does he
ask any suggestions.

Good I)ral of a Savage Despite Clr-
ilteing Influence*.
It is it common saying in the West that
“a dead Indian is the only good Indian,”
a remark perhaps a little too sweeping in
its application. Our Indian population,
writes Moses Folsom in the Milwaukee
Journal, numbers about 280,000, anti all
west of the Missi-sippiexcept!i0,000- None
are hostile except a few in the southwest
along the Mexican frontier. The total
number belonging to agencies under
supervision of religious bodies is offi
cially reported in round figures at
220,000. Tlte Methodist)lead in the num
ber underspiiitual guidance, lmvingfiftcen
agencies with oversight of 19,000. The
Presbyterians come close up with the over
sight of 48,000. Next the Episcopals with
26,000; then the Kotuan • Catholics with
22,000, and then the American Missionary
associciation or Congregationalists, with
18,000. The Christians have 10,000, with
smaller numbers under the direction of
the Baptist, Unitarian, and other denomi
nations', There are not less than 200
schools on tho various reservations. The
Indian child, as a rule, is an apt scholar.
The Blackieet and allied tribes-, the I’ie-
gans, Bloods, Gros Ventres and IliveF
Crows of North Montana are looked after
by the Methodists. In early years the
Catholic missionaries, whose service is
more attractive, worked with signal suc
cess among the Blackfeet, and several mis
sions were organized and several thousand
Indians baptized iu that faith. Lame Bull,
head chief of the Gros Ventres, whose por
trait is shown, wears spectacles and a
“biled” shirt, smokes a clay pipe, has two
wives, speaks English, and is a pretty
clever Indian.
Since the disappearance of large.game
and the degeneracy of the Indian into a
suppliant for government aid, he is not at
much of a man as he was. When sur
rounded by a large white population, as in
the East, something may be eqpected of
him, but the average reservation Indian
now has little to do except to gamble and
horse race while waiting for government
ration. The Indian woman does all of the
work, pitches the tepee, gathers wood,
cooks, cares for the horses, etc. She is con
sidered property as much as a horse, and
the husband can sell his wife as the father
sells his daughter. It is considered effemi
nate in an Indian to show affection for his
wife.
The borne, lodge or tepee of the plain
Indian is conical in shape and made of
liitlis or canvas stretched on a frame-work
of poles. It depends on the size of the
family for its size, but is seldom more than
20 feet in diameter and 16 feet high. The
fire is built in the center^ and the smoke
escapes from a hole in the top, which,
being guarded by a winged cap, ustt
ally prevents the wind from blowing in.
The draught, however, is not perfect hy
any means, and the tepee in cold weather
is too full of smoke for any one Dot used
to it. It is not easily overturned

From the Mluneapotl. Tribune.
Extravagance is not generosity. Fx-
travair.nce is folly. A generous heart
should yet be tempered by practical neces-
situs Money, mere giving, display, is
not what Christmas means, or what en
dears it to us. Extravagant presents that
go beyond the giver’s means are no pleas
ure to him aud an embarrassment to the
recipient. A present is only a token of
lore anil good wil 1 . The intrinsic value
is nothing when the gift comes from a
friend Next after the appropriateness in
price is judgment in selection. Give pres-
e-ils in character with your friend rather
Ilian your own—books to scholars, bangles
to girls, toys to chiIJren. Avoid useless
gifts, too t-'io-it'es of to-called art, had
painting on w retch.d wooden things, piety-
destroying tidies that cling toeterything
but chans, frivolous |iin-ctiih:or,s and ttn-
mbunted suppers. Whatever of extrava

priate the gifts, it is Christmas after all.
and so we can enty commit a pardonable
it warn
blankets spread on the ground close to the
outer part, and serve during the day for
seats. They are never “made up,” aB the
white housewife understands the term.
The Indian is not selfish, and so fond of
company that most tepees contain more
than one family. All live, sleep, cook
and eat in the little space, and when pots,
kettles and supplies are brought inside
during the cold weather, the inside of the
tepee becomes frightfully unclean. The
wives of an Indian able to have several
all sleep in tho same bed.
Like a white gambler with his d'a norn'.s
the Indian can make liis wives n source oi
comes upon him. Living as they do there
is a total absence of privacy and modesty
in the domestic life of an Indian. From
herd work, the Indian women are not pro-
llfic and rarely have more than three or
four children. The mother lias early
charge of her little ones, and soon teaches
them not to rry by holding iter hand over
tlieir mouths and pinching their notes
until they are almost suffocated and
they soon learn that silence is
the best policy. This habit was
adonted to prevent outcries in times of
peril. The Indians liv. much in tho open
air, and children brought to the agency
schools arc usually so far-sighted that they
cannot tee letters or small pictures on the
printed _ page. Adults are usually im
patient in illness, and seldom survive i re
tracted or severe spells of sickness. They
eat most everything, meat heretofore being
their main subsistence, but where the gov
ernment is trying to make farmers of them
they take readily to vegctibles.
In their tepee life they have no regular
hours for meals, but eat when hungry,
usually boiling tlieir dried meat. Birds,
reptiles and small game they eat entrails
nnd all, nnd generally raw and while
blood-warm. All of them wear more or
less of the clothing of white men—pants
giving them more trouble to get used to
than any other garment. An Indian’s
idea of full dress is to heap everything he
bason himself, and then lie is not in full
toggery unless his face is bcsm'earetl with
paint, sometimes quite artistically
streaked, or worked into figures.
Most of the agents prefer Indian police
to preserve order, anu when so employed
they are dressed in army uniforms,
mounted and well armed. They are picked
men, and always loyal and faithful to
duty. When this great cattle range be
comes well settled by whites many of
these Indians wili*become hersdmen, and
in that way make themselves aseful. The
Blackfeet have a lar.e reservation, some
20,000,000 acres, next in size in the coun
try after the Hioux reservation in Dakota,
hut a commission last year arranged with
them to cede 16,000,000 to the government,
they to take three small reservations.
They only numher about 12 009 ind
the 4,00,000 acres they retain is utora than
they n-etl, but the government is to give
them stock and farm machinery, and it is
hoped that real good “live” Indians can
te made of them.

_ Tho House devoted n considerable por
tion of this morning’s session to the read
ing of bills the second time.
At 11:30 the House convened in com
mittee of the whole, with Mr. Atkinson of
Coweta in the chair, for the purpose of
considering the bill of Mr. Brady of Sum
ter providing for the establishment of an
experimental farm and station, to he sits-
tabled hy the :i propria lion of JIo.IIUO an
nually by congress under the Hatch bill.
Mr. Calvin of Richmond explained the
objects of the hill. He said that by cor
respondence with the authorities at Wash
ington he had ascertained that this money
could be divided up nnd distributed among
several colleges, if the state saw proper to
do so, hut that these colleges must lie agri
cultural colleges. He favored the bill as
introduced by Mr. Brady.
Mr. Tuck of Clark thought that tho
consideration of the bill should go over to
the summer session. He had not studied
the provisions of the bill and did not be
lieve that the House sulliciFhtly under
stood then to vote intelligently upon the
matter.
Appropriated to rinefit farmers.
Mr. Simmons of Suinter made an earn
est argument in favor of the bill. Tlte
appropriation by congress was made to
benefit the condition of the farmers of the
stale, and the money sltouid be used for
the purpose for which : t was devoted.
Mr. llorrell of Webster saw that, tlte
college at Athens had been receiving this
money for fifteen years and that the
farmers of tlte state had secured none of
the benefits to be derived from
the appropriation. The money
had been appropriated for tlte benefit of
the farming interest and it sltouid be dis
bursed in that way. The bill was a good
oae and he would Vole for it. The farmers
of the state should have entire control of
this money and spend it in any manner that
would do the most good.
FLEMINO OPPOSES THE MEASURE.
Mr. Fleming of Richmond was not
favorably impressed with tlte bill. He
thought that the main idea of the bill was
to take the money away from Reck college
and give it to some other institution in
some other portion of the state. He
thought that it would be a worth
less expenditure of money to take the
■toner from the institute that is now
using it to create a duplicate institut*.
He aid not believe the change contempla
ted would in any way benefit the farmer.
WOULD PERVERT T11K LAW.
Mr. Glenn opposed the hill. He thought
that to take the money away from the
college now getting the hi relit of it, for
the purpose of giving it to some other
college would be a pervertion of the law.
Mr. Glenn concluded his argument by
making a motion which prevailed that tlte
committee report progress and ask leave to
sit again.

The SpcechlPM,
Ye call them dumb, and deem It well;
Howe’er their burbling hearth may swell
iio Voice tlieir Woes to tell
As htbulistK have dreamed.
Will thou the patient Jmfge, and strong,
Behold thy creatures sutier wrong
Of those thy blood redeemed.
Yet a*© th# y wllcnt? Need they speech
H k h'*ly fyinputhfca to reach,
Who, by their lips, could prophets teach,
Aud lor their sasc would spare?
When, wrestling with his own decree,
To rave repentant Niuevah
He found to strengthen mercy's plea,
So many cattlo there.
Who take recount of every t
And there are angel heart* below
On whom tho eternal dove
His pentecoslal gifts hath poured.
Aud that forgotten speech restored
That filled tbc garden of the Lord
When nature's voice was love.
Blest arc they whom tbc creatures bleisl
And yet that wealth of tenderness
In look, in jesture, In caress,
By which our hearts they touch,
Might well the thoughtful spirit grieve,
Beile Ing as we must believe,
How little they from man receive,
To whom they give so much.
They may be silent, as ye say,
But woe to them who. day by day.
Unthinking for wbat boon they pray,
Repeat “Thy Kingdom Come!"
Who. when before the great white throne,
Shall plead that mercy utsy bo shown,
Find awful voices drown their own,
The voices of ths dumb.
