READ caretuny Senator STEWART'S
brief speech on Reconstruction, on first
page. It presents a clear and concise
view of the positiop of parties, and
effectually disposes of the Copperhead
howlings over Negro Suffrage. -
MNGRESS.
The last - week has been of unusual in
terest in Congress. The SENATE debated
the bill to repeal the Cotton tax, but
reached no conclusion upon it.
The HOUSE was the centre of interest.
An amendatory Reconstruction Act was
passed making_ a majority of the votes
cast sufficient for the ratification of the
new Constitutions in the: Rebellious
States, and permitting the election of the
legal number of Representatives to Con
gress at the same time, who may be ad
mitted when the State shall be restored.
,The bill pas4ed by a party vote
.and has
- gone to the SENATE.
One of the financial measures alluded
to last week as in -preparation, has been
reported in the Senate by Mr. SHERMAN
of Ohio. It proposes a scheMe for fund
ing the National Debt and for the con
version of the notes of the United States.
Details are comparatively unimportant,
as they may be, modified ; but the gener
aides is to authorize a new consolidated
loan at 6 per cent. interest in coin, to
take up the existing securities of the U.
S., these loans and the income from them
to be exempt from every 'kind of taxa
tion in consideration of one per cent. of
the interest being reserved by the Treas
urer of the United States as he paysrone
half of which sum shall be distributed
among the States in proportion to popu
lation, and the other half applied to the
payment of the National Debt. The 5-
20 bonds shall be exchanged for these
bonds at the expiration of five years from
the .date of their issue; and such bonds
as are- now redeemable shall be - presented
for exchange by November Ist next.—
The new bonds are to be disposed of at
not less than par ; and foreign holders of
Five-Twenties are to reeeive in exchange
a bond with 44, per cent. interest, in coin,
payable in Frankfort or London. Under
this - bill, Pennsylvania's income, annu
nually, would be about $850,000. This
subject will be taken up after the Holi
day recess, and matured at an early day.
The Clerks in Washington narrowly
escaped having voted to them in the
House an increase of twenty per cent. on
their salaries for the current fiscal year.
The proposition was at first put, on a de
ficiency bill, by a vote of yeas 73, nays
70. But the bill was immediately after
wards tabled—yeas 74, nays 67. The bill
was then taken -up and passed without
the amendment. On the 20 per cent.
proposition, parties were divided. of the
24 Democrats who voted, 16 siere for the
20 per cent, and 8 against it. 16 of them
did not vote. Mr. Koosrz df this dis
trict voted against it, in all its forms.
Mr. SEWARD has concluded a treaty
with Denmark, as is now known, for the
purchase of the islands of St. Tho Mas
and St. Johns for $7,500,000 in gold, with
a prospect of adding St. Croix for abou
i' - .3,730,000 more. The treaty is now be.
fore.the Senate for ratification. The Da
dish Government is willing to sell, be-
cause too poor to keep, the islands ; and
our purchase of them ;is urged on the
ground of their usefulness to our com
merce. To this, there are two sides.—
Vice Admiral PORTER_ has written a
glowing account of St. Thomas, and the
papers furnish a fine ednareut thereon
in a description of a terrify destructive
hurricane on the 29th of October, and of
an earthquake on the 18th of November.
Of the people, Admiral PoitTER remarks:
"It may be well to mention that the inhab
itants are mostly colored. but they are ex
tremely well educated: Nearly all the clerks
in the stores are colored."
Alaska has cost us $7,000,000 in gold
these islands will double it, and, with S
Croix, approved, swell the ptir
(llama of the Government for this year,
to $20,000,000. Mr. SEWARD has no idea
of dying and not leaving monuments to
his name—even if they be of debt foolish
ly and wastefully made. Of course, the
Copperheads are in favor of this expend
iture. Their policy is to make the 'ex
penses of government as big as they can,
and then raise a howl about it, charging
upon the Republicans, who are the ma-
jority, the responsibility of extravagant
appropriations, claiming for themselves
a spirit of economy !
'Meanwhile we have a rumor that Spain
has caught the contagion to sell, and has
offered us Cuba and Porto Rico for WO
000,000 in gold ! Cuba has about 2,000
square miles less than the State of Ohio.
Porto Rico contains 3,033 square miles,
and the Virgin Islands 89. •The total
area is 39,779 square miles, and the popu
Intion 1,511,660.
It is riot likely that the Danish pur
chase willgo through. The Senate Corn
mittee on Foreign Relations are said to
be nearly unanimous against it.
Congress adjourned 'on Friday over the
Holidays. As President Joussox did
not send in his veto of tht, bill striking
out the word "white" from the laws of
the District of Columbia, the bill fails to
become a law, the intervening of an ad
journment k•efore the expiration of the
ten days in which the President can de
termine whither ,to approve or not, de
feating an act. This is what is called
"pocketing" a bill. The Presiden t pock
eted the same bill passed at the July ses-
sion, an 4 now, instead of properly meet
ing the issue by sending in a veto, he
avails himself of the adjournment over
the HOlidays to 'do the same tiing. It
will necessitate the passage of*l ew bill,
when Congress meets again, Which will
of course be done. , -
GINERAZ MEADE has written a letter
tosay that lb 1863, when Lee surrendered,
the Rebel leaders were surprised at the
liberality of GRANT'S terms, since they
had expected, when beaten, that some of
them would be executed. They fully ad
mitted, theb, the right of the conquering
party to impose . any terms- which they
those. And this all the more, because if
they had been victorious, they would
have exercised the same right.
Nom, they detnand not only not to be
in any way punished for their crimes, but
they have the impudence to claim restor
ation to every political privilege, and to
beenme again the governing power in
the lcountry. And smirking Copper
heads say, Amen •
COPPERHEAD ITEMS.
We understand that ' + a ring" has been
formed to effect the election df WILLIAM
A. WALLACE as Mr. BucKALEIv'S
cessor in the U.S. Senite, in case of Cop
perhead ascendency next year. The
same ring propose to Wake B. F. MYERS,'
of 'Bedford, Chairman ot the State Com
mittee next year. This is to soothe him
for the defeat of his-hope of being their
candidate for. Congress in this district—
which is to be given to WILLIAM MC
SHERRY, Esq.,- of this county, although
GEORGE A. SMITH, Esq., of Fulton, will
press for the nomination on the ground
that Fulton, one of the steadiest Copper
head counties in the District, has been
overlooked too long. Franklin county
is o supply their candidate for State
Sedate in the person of CALVIN M. DUN-•
CAN, t 841., who was defeated three years
ago. He hopes to have better luck this
time.
The Copperheads in the Legislature of
Kentucky are taking steps to getpay for
the Slaves who were emancipated during
the War by Executive ProclamationS,
acts of Congress, and the Constitutional
Amendment. A. joint committee luis
been appointed to ascertain the assessed
value of said Slaves and to point out a
way to get pay out of the National Gov
ernment. A very simple plan (and the
way plan), is to get the Copperheads in
power in Congress.
In 1860, there were 225,483 Slaves in
Kentucky, which at a valuation of $3OO
each, would exhaust the enormous sum
of $67,644,900. Maryfand has given no
tice of her intention to makes like claim,
as have Georgia and other Southern
States, so that the bill will be big enough
by the time they have all contributed to
it, to swamp the ,Treasury. But this
does not satisfy% Kentucky ; for, besides,
they have appointed a•special committee
to devise Ways and Means to get pay for
commissary and quartermaster stores
taken from the Rebels of that State by
the Union army. Men who can prove
their loyalty during the War, can be
paid under existing laws; but the object
of the Kentucky Rebels is to give the
same claim to °men who were openly
disloyal. This.is sound Democracy! •
JOHNSON'S Message of last Wednesday,
in which 14e compares HANcocic: and
WASHINGTON, is intended to force HAN
COCK'S nomination by the Copperheads
for the Presidency and is a square blow
at Mr. PENDLETON whom he hates.—
JOHNSON is also rnanceuvering with Re
publicans to defeat the nomination of
GRANT, whom he hates and fears.
HANCOCK has been captured by the
Rebels of Louisiana, with his wife who
is a St. Louis Secessionist. Speaking of
his recent order, which the.PRESIDENT
praises, a correspolkient from New Or
leans says :
"Could the Union men of the North have
seen the countenance§,of the old Rebels of
New Orleans, on the day that the,prder was
issued, they would have bowed their heads in
shame. The General may think,himself able
to change the current of this revolution; he
may feel power& enough, with Andy John
son at his back, to do what a Rebel army of a
Million of men failed to accomplish; he may
imagine himself able to seize the moral im
pulse of this nation and give it a new conrae
for its flight ; but he will learn better by ex
perience. Dinners, as well as other winning
means, have been resorted to for the purpose
of captivating the General. One night last
week, all the Confederate notabilities of Lou
isiana assembled round the festal board to do
honor to their new Federal guest. Hood,
who could not usher his army into Nashville,
was quite successful in ushering in the com
pany of braves who desired to pay their re
spects to our new District Commander.—
Bragg never enjoy_ed champagne as he did
when drinking health of Hancock ;' and,
as for Beauregaq, he went into a fit of de
light. Mrs. Haneock, who is spoken of as
"a beautiful Southern lady," has not been
forgotten. A company of the first ladies of
New Orleans has been formed for the purpose'
of welcoming her to the city and inviting her
to the social circle—an invitation not hither
to extended to any wife of a United States
soldie' in the South, since the war."
NEW YORk POLITICS
JoIIN T. HOFFMAN, Mayor of New
York, whose recent re-election cost Tam
many Hall SIOS,OOO, hopes to be the Cop
perhead candidate for the Vice Presiden
cy on the ticket with HA:cowl:, for
whom Ohio PENDLETCOI must manifestly
stand back. The Western Democracy,
who hate a 17:. ion soldier, will make a
fierce figlitagalf& the new arrangement ;
but it will be fruitless.
The Republicans of New 'York are
likely to nominate JOHN A. GiuswoLD
of Troy, for Governor, and may pre
sent Gov. FENTON or Ex-Gov. 31onotAx
for the Vice Presidency. The Legisla
ture will this year repeal the Excise
Laws passed last year; and will abolish
most of the Commissions in New' York
City—leaving the Copperheads free to
govern the City as they best can. If, as
a result, garrotting should become as
common as woman-whipping in Delit
ware, if the "roughs" should run the
Courts, the police, and the whole muni
cipal machinery ; if murder, arson, bur
glary, and every sort
~of crime should
unsettle Sopiety and carfyterror to every
family ; if these and every imaginable
evil be rained upon the City, then the
Country will at least give the Republi
cans the credit of having tried to make
our great commercial emporium at least
habitable.
THE Copperhead papers, North . and
South•, are making a concerted assault
upon the Southern Constitutional Con
ventions now in session. Probably the
Richmond papers show the most malig
nity, as they did during the entire War.
The reason for these assaults is obvious.
By bringing the Conventions into con
tempt, their enemies hope irretrievably
to damage the work of their hands, how
ever faultless in itself. So far as the
Conventions have reached results, they
have performed their work very satisfac
torily and well. We have just received
a letter from an intelligent correspondent
at Atlanta, Georgia, who writes that
"the general appearance of the Conven
tion is far better than that of 1865, al
though the greatlights of the Rebel De
mocratic party are not here 88 theY were

whites, always kept - under subjection

6ER. ORAIT'S ••PRIVATE" LETTER.
Protest against the Remval of Ston
and Sheridan... The Te o nure ot O tan illee
BUJ and the President.
Gen. Gstayr's "private" letter to President
JOHNSON, protesting against the removal of
of Secretary Srayro.N and 4 eren, SnEntnAN
has at length been brought to light by a reso
lution of the House requesting Gen. GRAN - r
to communicate certain correspondence. On
Tnesday last, in response to this resolution,
Gen. GE.urr submitted a voluminous report,
including the famous "private" letter. No
wonder the President refused to have it made
public. Here it is :
4EAD'QES. _kr:Nuss OF THE UNITED STATES
WASHINGTON, August 1, 1867.
Ilia Excellency Andrew Johnson, Pcesiden,
of the United States:
Sts:.--I take the liberty of addressing you
privately on the subject of the conversation
we had this morning, feeling, u I do, the
great danger to the welfare of the country
should you carry out the designs then ex
pressed.
First. On the subject of the - displacement
of the Secretary of War. Ms removal can
not be effected against his will, without the
consent of the Senate. It is but a short time
since the United States Senate was In session,
and why not then have asked for his removal,
if it was desired? It certainly was the in
tention of the legislative branch of the Gov
ernment to place Cabinet ministers beyond
the power of Executive removal, and it is
pretty well understood that, so far as Cabinet
Ministers are affected by the tenure of office
bill, it was intended especially to protect the
Secretary of-War, in whom the country telt
great confidence. The meaning %I this law
may be explained away by an astute lawyer,
but common sense and the views of loyal peo
ple will give it the effect intended by its
framers.
Second. On the subject of the removal of
the very able commander of the Fifth Mili
tary District, let me ask you to consider the
effect it would hav'e upon the public. He is
universally and deservedly beloved by the
people who sustained this Government through
its trials, and feared by those wh , would
still be the enemies of the Government. It
fell to the lot of but few men to do as much
against an armed enemy as General Sheridan
did during the rebellion, and it is within the
scope of the ability of but few in this, or any
other country, to do what he has.
His civil administration has given equal sat
isfaction. lie has had difficulties to contend
with -which no other district commander has
encountered. Almost, if not Polite, from the
day he was appointed district commander to
the present time, the press has given out that
lie was to be removed, and that the Adminis
tration was dissatisfied with him. This has
emboldened the opponents to the laws of Con
gress within his command to oppose him in
every way in their power, and has rendered
necessary measures which otherwise may
never have been necessary.
In conclusion, allow me to say as a friend
desiring peace and quiet, the welfare of the
whole country, North and South, that it is, in
my opinion, more than the loyal people of the
country—l mean those who supported the
Government during the great rebellion—will
quietly submit to; to see the very man of all
others who they have expressed confidence in
removed. I would not have taken the liberty
of addressing the Executive of the United
States thus but for the conversation on the
subject alluded to in this letter, and from a
sense of duty, and from feeling that I am
right iu this matter.
With great respect, your obedient servant,
C. S. GRAN - r, General.
Among the papers is a letter to General
Grant from Major General Sheridan. dated
New Orleans, January 25, 1667, in relation to
matters in Texas, and particularly referring to
the condition of the Union men and freethnem
in different parts of the State, which he says
is `•truly horrible. - He says the Government
is denounced, freedmen are shot, and Uniotn ®
men are persecuted if they have the temerity
to express their opinions, etc.
This letter General Grant, under date
Headquarters Army of the United States,
January 29, isit7, endorses as follows :
— Respectfully torw•arded to the Secretary of
War. Attention is invited to that portion of
the within communication, which refers to
the condition of Union men and freedmen in
Texas. and to the powerlessness of the mili-
Lary in the present state of affaixs to afford
them protection. Even the moral effect of
the troops is passing away, and a few days
ago a squad of soldiers on duty was fired on
by citizens in Brownsville. In my opinion
the great number of murders of Union men
and freedmen hi Texas, not only as a rule un
punished. but uuinvestigated. constitute, prac
tically, a state of insurrection: and helievim ,
it to be the province and duty of every good
government to afford protection to the lives,
liberty and property of her citizens, I would
recommend the declaration of martial law in
Texas to secure these ends.
"Martial law would give security, or com
paratively so, to all classes of citizens, with
out regard to race, color, or political opinions :
and could be continued until society was ca
pable of protecting itself, or until the State is
returned to its full relation to the Union.
"The application of ,martial law to one of
these States would be a warning to all, and,
if necessary, could be extended to others.
U. S. GRANT, General."
do action was had by the civil authorities
upon the foregoing recommendation of Gen.
Grant.
A REMARKABLE MESSAGE
Last Wednesday President JOHNSON
sent to both Houses of Coup ess the fol
lowing message, applauding Gen. Has-
COCK'S course in Louisiana. It created
some indignation in the Senate, and was
cavalierly referred to the Military Corn
mittee without even an order to print.—
In the House it created some merrimen
It is regarded as a defiance of Congress
and an evidence on the President's part
to keep up the fight with added bitter
nese, and may have been intended as an
answer to Gen. GRANT'S "private letter"
in reference to the removals of STANTON
and SHERIDAN. The closing paragraph,
contrasting HANCOCK'S administration
with those of the other Department com
manders, is a direct fling, not only at
SHERIDAN, POPE, SICKLES, CANBY,
SCHOFIELD, and THOMAS, but General
GRANT himself, inasmuch as be is in ac
cord with all these distinguished soldiers
in their enforcement of the Reconstruc
tion acts. The Democracy understand
the message as indicating the President's
purpose to steal a march on PENDLETON,
SEY3IOL7R. 4 Co., by pushing HANCOCK
as the Administration candidate 'or the
Presidency. The following is the mem-
sage :
Gentlemen of the Senate and House of
Representatives:
. An official copy of the order issued by Ma
jor General Winfield S. Hancock, Command
er of the Fifth Military District,. dated Head
quarters in New Orleans, La., on the 29th day
of November, has reached me through the
regular channelli of the War Department, and
I herewith communicate it to Congress for
such action as may seem to be proper in view
of all the circumstances.
It will be perceived that General Hancock
announces that be will make the law the rule
of his conduct ; that he will uphold the courts
and other civil authorjties in the performance
of their proper duties; and that he will use
his military power only to preserve the peace
and to enforce the law. He declares very ex
plicitly that the sacred right of the trial by
jury and the privilege of themrit of habeas
corpus shall not be crushed out or trodden
under foot. He goes further, NA in one com
prehensive sentence asserts that the piinciples
of American liberty are :still the inheritance
of this people, and ever should be.
When a great 'soldier, with unrestricted
power in his hands to oppress his fellow-men,
voluntarily foregoes the chance of gratifying
his selfish ambition, and devotes himself to
the duty of building up the liberties and
strengthening the laws of his Country, he pre
sents an example of the highest public virtue
that human nature is capable of practicing.—
The strongest claim of Washington to be
"first in war, first in pate, and first in the
hearts of his countrymen , "is founded on the
great fact that in all „his illustrious career he
scrupulously abstained from,violating the le
gal and Constitutional kightS of his fellow-citi
sena. When he surrendered his commission
to Congress, the President of that body spoke
his highest praise in saying, that he had 'al-
ways regarded the rights of the civil author!.
'l'm Ate.]
BCFFALO, Decimber 19.—1 t is the opinion
among the surviving passengers that there
were fifty people in the rear car, and only
three of them escaped. Of those who re
mained in this car, there are thirty or forty of
whom nothing is left but ashes ; eighteen
dead bodies are in the freight house, and a
number were dead and dying in other places.
The losi will probably exceed sixty souls.
A young , man from SL Catharine was taken
from the rear car in a dreadful state. His
legs were flayed, and his breast and stomach
were n fairly roasted. He was alive at last ac
counts, but, there is little hope of his recovery.
The accident was occasioned by the break
ing of the Wheel. No fault Is to be attached
to the officers of the read.
It is easy to imagine the frightful wreck to
which the car was reduced by its terrible de
scent. All, or nearly all its passengers, df
course were precipitated into a , mangled,
struggling mass, at the lower end of the car,
and were buried under a heap of ruins. Even
the slightly injured, if any there were, were
unable to extricate or help themselves. The
horror of the situation was sufficient, without
that which instantly became added to it by
the ignition of the splintered wreck frOm the
overturned,stoves in a moment, and the whole
was wrapped in flames. The dry wood of
the car burned like a heap of kindling. The
above accouht was obtained from one of the
three sole survivors.
atoomros, GREELEY, tither of Horace
Greeley, died at Fort Wayne, Penruirivania,
an the 18th lost., aged 136 years. H
ties through all dangers . and . diaasters."—
Whenever power above the law courted his
acceptance, he calmly put the temptation
aside. By such magnanimous acts of ibrbear
ance he won the universal admiration of man
kind, and left a, name which has no rival in
the history of the world.
I am far from saying that General Hancock
is the only officer of the American army who
is infhlenced by the example of Washington.
Doubtless, thousands of them are faithfully
devoted to the principles for which. the men
of the Revolution laid down their lives. But
the distinguished honor belongs to him of be
ing the first officerin high command, south of
the Potomac, since the close of the civil war,
who has given utterance to these noble senti
ments in the form of a military order.
I respectfully suggest to Congress that some
public recognition of General Hancock's pat
riotic conduct is due, if not to him, to the
friends of law and justice throughout the coun
try. Of such'an act as his, at such a time, it
is but fit that the dignity should be vindicated
and the virtue proclaimed, so that its value
as an example may not be lost to the Nation.

HANCOCK disregarded the habeas cor
pus wben its interposition wasattempted
to preveht him from carrying out the ex
ecution of Mrs. Surt i att and the other
'conspirators at Washington. In New
Orleans he insists upon everybody re
garding the writ when issued by Rebel
Judges. As a result, he has become im
mensely popular with the Rebels of that
city. When recently he visited the Op
era, he was greeted with enthusiastic
cheers, and "Hail Columbia" by the
baud. When SHERID.4.N was there it
was the other way. He gave the Rebels
"Hail Coluiribia."

RECONSTRUCTION ITEgN
An election has been ordered in Texas, tor
February loth and 14th inclusive. An intel
ligent Pennsylvanian who resided eight years
in Texas before Rebellion and who was driven
out in 1r.i63, has recently been in Washington,
to obtain the restoration ofhis property, taken
from him by force by the rebels since Andrew
Johnson revived alike their hopes and their
maliguities. He gives a fearful account of
the state of society in Texas. He says that
not a rebel has been punished for murder, and
of course not for treason, while a list of over
twenty-two hundred murdered Unio n me n
is on fit Cal A ustin. When Gov. Hamilton
was sent out there after the surrender of Lee,
the whole rebel population were not only sub
missive but ready to yield anything to , are,
their property and tires. Now all has
changed. Hardly a day passes without some
rebel outrage, and it is always permitted to ao
unpunished. Our informant fears that Gen.
Hancock's order restoring the civil coons of
Louisiana may be extended to Texas, in
which case, he says, all hopes of recovering
his property are gone.
The regi3tration in Texas gives lut.tr.)6

45,000 - colored. 7,500 persona applied for re

struction law; or one-fifteenth of the whole
number.
A correspondent from Mississippi writes:
`•Mississippi is more disloyal to-day than
durinit the war. There is no safety here for
Union men. The rebels arc ready for another
fight, and the issues of the recent elections
have ',treatly encouraged them.-

A TERRIBLE STORY
Supposed Abduction and Murder of a
Child to Obtain Insurance Money
HuosoN,'N.y., December !r.—Last week
a tenement house was destroyed by fire, and
a girl of twelve years of age burned to death.
From some suspicious circumstances the re
puted father and mother of the child—a Mr.
and Mrs. Brown—were arrested on a charge
of arson and murder in setting fire to the
house and causing the death of the girl.
It is stated that the parents had a life policy
of five thousand dollars on the life of the
child in the Travellers' Accidental Insurance
Company of Hartford. It was a three
months' policy, and had but twelve days to
run when the insured lost her life. The par
ties applied to the Company for the amount
of the policy, when circumstances aroused
the suspicion of the officers that all was not
right. They caused the body to be disinter
red, and an examination was instituted, when
marks of violence were plainlS;' traced on the
back o! the child's head.
An officer of the company immediately
proceeded to Canaan and made a thorough
examination of the premises where the disaster
occurred, and the developments served to
strengthen the suspicion that foul play had
been used, and that Mr. and Mrs. Brown had
been guilty of &terrible crime. The officer
telegraphed to Connecticut to have the sus
pected persons arrested, and yesterday he
came to this city and took out the papers to
obtain a requisition from Governor Fenton
for the custody of the prisoners.
It is moreover reported that the chill was
not a daughter of the Browns, but was ab
ducted by them from Ohio some time ago.
There is a deep seated suspicion that she
was sacrificed by the BroWns in order that
they might obtain the amount of the life in
surance, and that their brief residence in Ca
naan was merely to carrry out this purpose.
Tux night-mare of Fenianism is still trou
bling the British Government. Troops are
constantly being sent to different points, and
the most extraordinary precautions taken. It
it asserted that the Government has full
knowledge of the secret plans of the Fenians.
The bill for the reorganization of the French
army introduced into the Legislative Cham
bers, was sustained by a majority vote. In
the Italian Parliament, after a long and angry
debate on the Roman question, the Ministry
was defeated by a majority of two votes,
amidst the loud cheering of thekopposition.—
Advices from Japan state that the ports of
Yeddo and Osaka will be thrown open to
foreigners for settlement and commerce after
the 29th of January.
AN IMPORTANT DECISION—Some time ago a
cow belonging to a fanner who lived upon the
line of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chica
go railroad, ran upon the track in front of an
advancing train, throwing the train off the
track, badly wrecking it, and injuring several
persons. The railroad company sued the
owner for the damage caused by the accident,
and recovered a verdict for $4,000. An ap
peal was taken to the Supreme Court of Indi
ana, and recently the court affirmed the ver
dict of the court below, holding the farmer
for the full amount of the s4,o® damages as
sessed.
Savitas shocks of earthquake were felt at
