it does, while the Grand Jury mam
tain the contrary opinion. As I have
bceu dragged into the discussion of
this question contrary to my expecta
tions and wishes I propose now
briefly as possible, to give tbe bottom
facts, that the public may know how
to appreciate Mr. Speer’s fierce as
sault upou the “Gwinnett Grand
J ury.”
lie predicates his claims to this
money upon the ground that there is
due him upon his insolvent list in this
county $800. “This,” lie says, in
his letter above referred to, “had
been granted to mo and to my pred
ecessor, Col. Wm. L. Marler, (whose
insolvent list I purchased) by the or
ders of the Judge of the Superior
,Ctiuri. * * * The law is that, the
lien ol the office’s actually discharge
in i the duties of the offiue, should be
paid from this fine and forfeiture
fund, in preference to the claims of all
previous incumbents of the offices of
Clerk, Solicitor, Sheriff, etc.” The
law does provide that the incumbents
of these offices shall be paid their res
pective costs, which accrue during
their terms of office, out of the funds
brought into court daring their
tenns, to the exclusion of their prede
cessors. If, however, the incumbents
of the office have received all this in
solvent costs which have actually ac
crued during their term of office, and
there is a surplus fund abovo this,
then sucli excess goes to the extin
guishment of the insolvent costs of
prior officera. When Mr. Speer pur
chased Mr. Marler's insolvent list he
wai simply subrogated to Marler’s
rights. Marler certainly had no pri
or lien on the insolvent fund to that
ofthe Clerk, Sheriff, etc., who were
in the office at the time he was, bat
could only share prorata with those
officers. Now Mr. Speer, before he
received the $350 upon tbe Frasier
bond, had been paid more than all
his insolvent cost which accrued dur
ing his term. In substantiation of
this assertion I quote from the offi
cial repoit of the committee last re
ferred to, and which is an official doo
uraent, of file in the office ofthe Clerk
of tbe Superior Court, via:
“The Clerk has paid Emo
ry Speer, former SoL Gen.,

ent list, np to Dec. Adjourn*
ed Tetm 1875, $1720,50
“His said insolvent list
amounts to $1684,57

hands arising from the . Ffa^ey bond

lowing is an exact copy of a receipt

him, in the official book of rccoj-d 5| oj

seventy-five dollars, on the bond - of
Fayette Frasier to be paid on the iiir

ed. Emory Speer.’’ .
If Mr Speer considered all this
$350 legally and' properly his, why
did be not receipt, on the record, for
the whole amount, instead of for half
ofit? It would have been just ns
easy. Mark you, it will not do to say
that Mr. Vanghan—the the^. Clerk—
may have the other half, hecausq M^,
Speer admits in his letter,. hereipbc?,
fore referred to, in the . Wqfchtpaj},
“tiiat he had nothing whatever to. do,

- Again, Mr. Speer took $350 in full
settlement ofthe principal and costs
due on the judgment vsFrasK>*\ . He
haa the costa due the Clerk for issu
ing tlie scire facias, eta, and of tho-
Sheriff for serving it. Does this be
long to him also ?
Bnt suppose the whole amount
does belong to him, was it not his du
ty to receipt on the record for it, that *
the account might life property credit
ed? As it now atauds, lie hits the
money, and yet his insolvent ‘ list is
ibi*-irtnch lteger than it ought*to-ffe.
It would Lake a debtor a long time to
pay off a note if credit were not al
lowed him for his payments, and his
paper kept open and unsatisfied.
The Watchman wants to know If I
will charge Mr. Speer with be*ng a
thief. Mr. Speer ar.d I have discus
sed this question together, publicly,
upon four different' occasions, -and I
gave he people substantially the
views herein expressed. They,* I
know, did not consider that I charged
him with stealing this money, or in*
tending to do so, nor did Mr.. Speer
so think. Oil the contrary, I would
be doing both Mr. Speer and myself
injustice were I to f til to state here,
that I do not regard him as dishpnost
and that I cannot believe ho ever in
tended to wi'ODg his official associates
by his conduct in this matter. I have
never done more, either l>y word or
thought, than to attribute the unfor
tunate situation in which he has
placed himself in this transaction, to
his carelessness and neglect of official
duty.
I regret, Mr. Editor, that Mr.
Speer’s organ has rendered it neces
sary for my own vindication to write
this letter. But for the direct attack
nade upon me I would not havo gifo

fond of me. But she said ono evem

opposed to a man with light hair. I
offered to dye mine, but Henrietta's
mother said that she bated it worse
when it was dyed than when it was

I could do, and I went borne to re

wouldn't let me in; so I wrote to Hen

was at an end. Subsequently she
married a man named Johnson, in
the stove business.”
“And who was the third ?’*
“The third ? Let me see? Why,
the third was Julia Dobson. You’ve
met her, I think ? I was deceived in
Julia Dobson. After we’d been en-
gaged only three days she told me
she’d had an awfbl dream about me.

Wliy They Broke With Him
835.03
Mr. Busby was sitting upon the
parlor sofe, in the dusk of the even
ing, holding Miss Lazenby’s hand,
which she was trying to draw from
his grasp. He had just proposed,
and she didn’t seem to respond very
heartily.
“Oh, say you will accept me! Say
you will havo me, Tilly! You don’t
know how mnch I love you. I never
loved any other woman but you.”
“Never any but me, Mr. Busby ?”
“ Never, never, never! You are
my first and only love P*
“ Why, Mr. Busby, I have heard
that you have been cugaged eight
times already.’’
Eight times, darlingWhat a
wicked slander! I have been engaged
only five times, I pledge you my word
of honor.”
And didn’t you love any of tho
ladies? 1 ’
“Well, now, I’ll explain to,you
how it was. The first, yop. know,
ble to dream that I ate the colored
girl,and dm said die couldn’t help it;
the bad impression was just the same
She could not bear tbe idea of marry
ing a man whom she would never see
without thinking of that cannibal
with wings, so I broke off that en
gagement, too. Hanged if I believe
Julia Dobson ever really loved me!”
“Who did you say the next one
was?”
JLet’s see; M’Cosh, Peabody,
Dobson—Dobson—oh, yes! The
next was Bertie Magruder. I never
kne w exactly what to make ot that
girl. She declared that she was fond
of me, but she insisted that I ongbt
to help her and her mother with the
house cleaning. So for the first three
days after we were ^engaged I was
washing windows, scrubbing floors,
and mashing my fingers with the
tack-hammer, trying to put down
carpets. It struck me as a mighty
queer way for a girl to express her
tender feelings for a man; but they
ore a peculiar family. One day I
stepped in a bucket of soap-suds and
pset it ou the parlor carpet, and old
'‘Magruder, her father, you know, was
so mad that he said if I didn’t leave
the house he would pitch me out of
the window. Bertie said it would
serve me right if he did; so I conoiU'
ded maybe her love-light, so to speak,
had flickered out, and I handed in my
resignation.
“ How about the fifth ?”
“Oh, that was Nancy Bannister. I
flow to her in despair, because I felt
so badly about the Magruders. I was
never really engaged to her. She
accepted me conditionally. Said she
would have me when I made a for
tune. I began boring for oil in our
back yard the next morning, but b&«
fore I’d got down ten feet she sent me
word that she’d accepted another
man; some kind ot an officer in tbe
marine corps, I think. Anyhow, my
affections were blighted again. Now
I’ve come to you You’ll say yes,
won’t you ? I never knew what love
meant until I met you. *
‘ r I’U tell you what I’ll say,” ob
served Miss Lazetiby. “I’ll aay NO 1
And I’ll bid you good evening.”
As she walked out of the room
Busby looked aadly after her; then
he picked up his hat, moved alowly
to tbe door, and went ont

then; didn’t know my own (nlnd. Af
ter I was enghged to her I used to go
round to M'Cosh’s at night, .and just
as soon as I got in the house they
would want me to help them move
next bight, and sloped in where
tome of the boys wore playing cards,
lere they were talking
“ raises ” and ,! see
ing.” The boys looked a little di*-
concertcd, bnt tho old -man didn’t
say anything till tbe hand was played
oaf; and one of the party, under pre
tense of having an engagement,
winked to the others ar.d said he
must go, intending to break up until
the old man had gone away, nnd re
sume the game. But he had scarce
turned his back, when the aged visi
tor remarked:
“ I wonder he didn’t ‘raise’ ye
with the hand lie-had.
“Do you understand 1 lie game?”
asked one of the party, taking a cigar
from his mouth.
“Wall, a leetle ; I ve seen ’em pay
in’ on it, an’ sometimes iliort I’d like
to take a hand jea’ for fun.”
“ Just so,’’ said another; “ suppose
you try a game or two with us.”
“Wall, I don’t mind jea’ for the
fan of the thing.”
So the old man sat down, aud with
a good deal of instruction, managed
to get .through with the game and
Iwon on the penny ante. “Thar,’’
said he, “if that feller that’s gone had .
been spunky, and pct'iu five dollars,
he’d got it instead of these eight
cents, wouldn’t be?”
i “Why, certainly,” said one of the
young men, “certainly; its your
deal; unde; now why don’t veu go in ,
lor a five dollar ante ?” * ,
“Wall,’’said tlie old fellow, throw
ing round tbe cards, “ I dunno’lmt, I .
will; but I haiu’t got nothing but a
twenty dollar bill that I drew oaten
the bank to come here with.”
“Well, uncle,” said the other, ,
gathering up and glancing at liis
cards, “ I’ll go you twenty, and you
can put it in the missionary box whet
yon win if you like.’’
“ Sho 1 so I ken,” said tlie old man,
“I don’t think’twud be gamblin’r.t (
all ef that’s the case.”
1 “Not at all,” said the other, winking ,
to his companions.
“Wall, then, I don’t care cf I go ‘
•yer this yere other fifty, but I ’sposc j
you’ll think I’m doin’ on it lo skier
ye, but onr denomination is tarnal
poor, and a big contribution is jot
what they are hankerin’ arter.”
“ Oh, no, I cover vour fifty, un
cle ; we ought to bo liberal hearted,
you know.”
And so tbe game went on, t ill final
ly the old man remarked:
“Wall, IM no idee I had this yore '
roll o’ bills in my pocket—so ye call,
do ye ?—five hundred dollars up 1 —
yes, you hev got three pictures—
three queens and a jack ? Well, it’s
kinder queer I got t'other queen—
haw! haw! haw !”
“ Yes, I’m sorry for you, but what
are your other cards?” said the young
man, triumphantly.
“ Wall, three on ’em ex kings—
why, darn It, all that ere pot o’ mon
ey’s mine, young feller 1” said he,
stretching out a powerful paw and
squeezing the bills out of the hands
ofthe young man, who had already
begun to roll them up. “P’raps,
mister, you’d like to take your hand
agaifa,” Sind ho to the other who had
returned mean time; “ they are
goin’ to sing some snm tunes up
stain before going to bed, and I
promised I’d jine ’em.” '

thought forced itself into more than
one mind of the danger of trusting to
