V Washington dispatch of June
„ l4s .,ys: “After Judge Fullerton,
£ famous New York lawyer, de
livered his argument before the
bonne committee on war claims in
of the payment of theConfed-
debt by the United states
nt lie was requested to
marks to the commit-
ftivor
crate
govern me
submit
tee in printed form. A bundle of
(hege cheerful pamphlets was
dumped on the committee table at
its meeting Friday morning. The
argument is brief, covering only six
pages, but it is interesting reading
;i marvel of legal and literary in
genuity. The members of the com
mittce*will digest it at their leis
ure.”
judge Fullerton says: “In dis
cussing the liability of the Confed
erate States to pay tlio Confederate
debt it is proper to say that they
never refused to recognize their ob
ligation to meet it, nor did they
ever request any action on the part
ofthe Fnited States to relieve them
from it. As between the holders of
(lie Confederate debt and tho States
creating it there existed a binding
obligation with which no third
party could properly interfere,
much less discharge. Notwith
standing this the United States
government, unnecessarily and un
solicited, and in the exercise of a
superior and arbitrary power, step
ped between the Confederate States
and their creditors, and by amend
ing their organic law provided that
‘Neither the United States nor any
State shall assume or pay any debt
or obligation incurred in aid of in
surrection or rebellion against the
United States, * * * *
hut all such debts, obligations and
claims shall be illegal and void.
But in declaring at the time that
the Confederate States, who had
created it, should not pay their just
and acknowledged liability, the
government not only acted un
wisely, but committed a stupend
ous blunder. It not only relieved
the guilty party from a just liability,
but it was a wanton destruction of
a debt it did not own, and with
which it had no rightful concern.
In doing so it assumed a fearful re
sponsibility.
“The United States should, there
fore, have stood aloof and left the
contracting parties to adjust their
own affairs, without interference on
their part, as best they might. It
follows, if these views are correct,
that the effect of this amendment
to tlio constitution was: First, to ex
tinguish the Confederate debt, and
secondly, as a consequence to create
a new liability for damages against
the United States, measured by the
value of the property so wrongfully
destroyed. This act of the United
States was undoubtedly intended to
punish those who it was supposed
had aided the states in rebellion by
tlie purchase of their bonds, and it
only adds another noted instance to
history where an attempt to injure
has resulted in a benefit.
“Before I conclude I will answer
a question which was asked by a
member of tlio committee, viz.:
What is the amount of tho Confed
erate debt? My answer is that I
tlo not know, nor have I sought to
know. I deal only with the liabil
ity to pay that debt and not with
the extent of it. It was also said
here that it amounts to billions.
Kven so; it does not effect the
question it ire presented. The
United States cannot afford to deny
tin honest liability because it is a
large one, or ask to be relieved from
it on that account. The amount of
it should have been ascertained and
the liability measured before the
dangerous responsibility was as
sumed of blotting it out.”
Tni> ItrotliiTN Meet After -It) Year*’ Siqinrutlon.
The Savannah News of :28th inst.
says: “One of tlioso strange in-
staneos ot members of a family
meeting after having beeu separat
ed many years occurred in this city
on Saturday. Forty years ago
•lusiuh McCoy, a young blacksmith
of -T, left his homo in Norfolk, Vn.,
ami went neither his parents or
relatives knew where. Not a word
was hoard from tlio missing son and
brother, and as the years rolled by
he was given up for dead. Efforts
were made to trace him, but his re
lations could never receive any iii-
lelligenee of his whereabouts. At
hut they accepted his disappear-
mice and silence as a mystery
which would never be solved.
Twenty-flvo years after Jostah
h'ft home a younger brother, Frank,
settled in Savannah, lie has n
grown son, Ernest K., an energetii
and bright young druggist, now
clerking in David Dorter’s new
drug store. Besides being a drug
clerk, Mr. 10. K. McCoy is the pro
prietor of a ten cent store under
Metropolitan Hall on Whitaker
s,| 'eet. His father manages the
business,
A few weeks ago a customer from
the country entered tlio store and
bought a bill of goods. Noticing
the proprietor’s name on tlio bill
head he inquired it Mr. McCoy was
related to an expert blacksmith of
that name who was traveling
through tlio state teaching some
secrets of the trade. The customer
stated that he lived in Bulloch
county and ho promised to find out
what lie could about the blacksmith
and inform Mr. Frank McCoy.
The customer, when he went back
home, hunted up tlio blacksmith
and told him of having been in a
Mr. E. Iv. McCoy’s store in Savan
nah. The Bulloch county man had
made the mistake of supposing the
manager of the store to be the pro
prietor. The blacksmith said he
had no brother named E. K. As he
loft home before the young man
was born, of course he did not know
anything about bis nephew. The
countryman wrote that the black
smith’s Christian name was Josiah,
ana that his headquarters were at
Olustee, Fla., where ho had an
agent to attend to his business
while lie was away. A letter was
written to Olustee asking the Josiah
McCoy to answer whether he was
t-he right man or not. Mr. Josiah
McCoy did not return to Olustee
until last Thursday night. He was
handed the letter from Savannah,
and after reading it knew that it
was written by His brother. On the
next train that came to Savannah
Mr. Josiah McCoy was a passenger.
The brothers were deeply moved
at meeting. Both have become old
men since they parted. Josiah is
(57 and his brother is (50. They
talked with quivering lips over old
times and the years that have in
tervened since they last saw each
other. Josiah was of a roaming
disposition, and lie has seen pretty
much of all tlie world. One of the
strange things connected with tlio
story is that Josiah lias been in
Savannah six or eight times since
iiis brother settled here, and they
have possibly met on the streets
without recognizing each other.
The blacksmith was a skilful me
chanic, lull of ingenuity, and lie
picked up many a secret and trick
of tlio trade. Of later years he has
found it profitable to impart these
secrets to other mechanics. After
traveling around the world he set
tled down in Olustee, and now has
a flourishing orange grove near tlio
town and is well to do.

Knilroml (’usrs Settled.
Atlanta, Ga., June 2G.— 1 The tax
cases of the Southwestern railroad
were practically settled to-day.
Years ago the courts decided that
the main lino of the Southwestern
system was exempt from taxation.
The state bold that the branch
roads Irom Amerieus to Albany,
from Albany to Blakely, and from
Cuthbert to Eufaula were taxable,
because built under characters that
did not exempt. The case went to
the United States supreme court,
which decided in tavor of the State.
A conference was held to-day
between Judge Lyon and the coun
sel for the Central and Southwest
ern railroads, and a basis of settle
ment for the back taxes was fixed
at 1-13,7)00, which will be paid into
tHo treasury in a few days.
the dense black cloud, and a stam
pede ensued among the line of
teams and pedestrians.
Cries of tiro were raised by hun
dreds of voices and a policeman ran
to the rear of Sibley’s warehouse
and turned in an alarm. The
steamer Albert J. Wright lay
against the dock, floating, as it
seemed, in a river of oil. The
flames swept around tlie vessel, en
veloping her in a moment. The fire
rolled over her bulwarks, ran up
along her rigging, and tipped her
awnings with flame. It seemed
that she was doomed. Tlie engines
shortly dashed on the scene and the
firemen sped to their work. Sud
denly, and with as little warning as
they started, the flames subsided.
The fire which crested the river for
a block’s length and almost from
bank to bank, vanished as though
drawn back into the bosom of the
stream. The heavy bank of soot
and smoke rolled away to the west
ward and “the burning of the Chi
cago river” was ended with little
damage.
Save Your Melon Vines.
Augusta Chronicle.
Mr. P. J. Berckmans informs us
that the excessive rains are creat
ing fungus growths upon the melon
vines, but a remedy applied in time
can save them. If the melon vines
are dusted at once with flour of sul
phur tlie trouble can be checked,
unless the vines are too far damag
ed. Five pounds of sulphur are
sufficient for an acre, and the appli
cation should be made early in the
morning. This is a simple and in
expensive remedy, and we hope our
farmers will avail themselves of it.

The Dublin Post asks: “How will
7)0 bushels of oats per acre do for a
Laurens county farmer with loss
than fifteen months of agricultural
experience? Such is tlie record of
Mr. John T. Boifeuillot this season,

despite tlio very poor yield of grain,
not only in this country, but
throughout the ontiro state. Wo

A Swindle in Cotton.
St. Louis, June 2(5.—One of the
biggest cotton swindles on record
lias just been successfully executed
in this market. It was worked by a
buyer who formerly bad headquar
ters in Hope, Ark., but now does
business from Texarkana, Tex.
About a month ago lie arranged a
sale of 3,000 bales of good middling
from Texarkana to Eastern buyers,
sending samples from that place,
lie requested the privilege of ship
ping from St. Louis as lie could
make better freight arrangements.
Having secured the cotton a shade
under the market the eastern parties
readily gave Him permission to for
ward the cotton in that way. Hay
ing secured tlie buyers’ consent for
that purpose, the Texan came here
and bought recklessly all the low,
sandy and stained cotton lie could
find, until Ho had filled his orders.
The cotton was shipped and tlie
drafts paid on samples sent from
Texarkana, through arrangements
made with Texas banks and their
St. Louis correspondents. His ex
cess of profits are estimated at
$35,000.

on the north bank, near tlie head of
Dearborn street, a barrel of coal oil
dropped from the hoisting tackle,
and bursting on the dock, fell into

A IlcninrkaWlc Accident to n Freight Train.
Marshall, III., June 2G.—A re
markable accident happened to a
through freight train on tho Van-
dalia line at Martinsville yesterday
morning. Martinsville is approach
ed from both directions by a long
steep grade. As tlie train was fly
ing around a sharp curve near Mar
tinsville, at a high rate of speed, one
of the driving-rods of the engine, a
Huge ten-wheeler, broke and was
instantly revolving at a terrific
rate, knocking the cab to splinters
anil battering tlio boiler out of
shape. As the train flew by the
station tlie other rod broke and the
tender jumped tlie track. The two
rods were revolving at lightning
sliced, dealing terrific blows on the
cab, and steam was escaping in
clouds from the holes knocked in
tlie boiler, while the tender was
bounding along the ties. As soon
as the up grade was reached on the
other side of the station tlie speed
began to slacken, and tlie train fi
nally stopped with tlie engine in the
centre of Hie long bridge over the
north fork of Embarrass river.
Providentially, the tender jumped
back on the rails just before the
bridffc was reached, or a terrible
wreck would probably have re
sulted. The engineer and fireman
escaped from tlie cal) when tlie first
rod broke and were not injured.
Murdered on Shipboard.
Special to Atlanta Constitution.
Savannah, Ga., June 28.—This
morning at eight o’clock tlie
steamer, David Clark, left the city
with five hundred negroes on hoard,
on an excursion to Beaufort with a
band of music. They had proceeded
a short distance beyond Tybee,
when a dispute arose among a dum
ber of negroes playing cards on the
lower deck. Bob Watts, an Augusta
negro, seized a chair to strike Ben
Cleft, when several rushed in with
knives and pistols drawn. A gen
eral melee followed, Watts was shot
in tlie breast near the heart. He
walked a few steps and fell to. the
deck dead.
Charles Stevenson was cut in the

Cleft had his head split open witli a
club. James Barnes was cut in tlio
mouth. A number of others were
cut and bruised. Griffith Deluigle,
formerly of Augusta, is charged
with shooting Watts. A scene of
indescribable confusion prevailed.

Athens Bnnner-Watchman.
There recently reached our ears a
story almost too horrible to believe,
and yet it comes from a most relia
ble source. There lived in Athens
an old couple witli all their children
married off. The wife M as a wor
thy, Christian woman, but the hus
band was a confirmed drunkard,
whose thirst for whisky was insa
tiate. lie would pawn his soul for
a drink, and every dollar ho earned
went to tlie barkeeper. .At last the
wife M'as taken seriously sick, and
her life was in a critical condition.
Her physician prescribed whisky
for treatment, and, as tlie old neo-
pie were without means, a son-in-
law gave tiie husband enough mon
ey to buy a gallon of liquor. He
went down to Oglethorpe county to
a man who is dealing out tho ar
dent in defiance of prohibition, and
purchased a gallon of whisky.—
While tlie temptation to taste it
was strong upon tlie old man, he
restrained his appetite until near
home, when he decided to steal
only a swallow. This only whetted
his thirst, and when he staggered
into the room where his sick wife
lay he was beastly drunk. For two
clays he laid on the floor in this con
dition, with the jug hugged to his
breast, and on awakening from his
stupor would at once begin to drink
again. In tlie meantime His poor
wife lay upon her bed, with no one
to attend to her wants, while her
besotted husband was rolling like a
beast upon tlie floor, selfishly drink
ing up tlie whiskey that was to re
store her to life. The neighbors
knew nothing of what was going
on. In tlie meantime tlie poor wo
man, through sickness and neglect,
died unattended and Uncared for.
After two days’ time some person
chanced to pass and discovered the
husband drunk upon tlie floor,
while tlio poor old woman was lying
dead upon her bed.

Hnwlcpisvllle News.
Some animals possess an amazing
amount of instincts; in fact in some
instances the instinct is so fully de
veloped that tho animal appears to
ho guided by sense or reason as
mankind. Our Methodist friend,
Rev. Mr. B., told us tlie other day of
a preacher lie knew who owned a
horse that lie had been driving for
18 years. The preacher told our
friend that he had so often driven
tho horse to church and left him
standing near by, that the horse
had learned the doxology, and
whenever it is sung he begins to
neigh, knowing that he is either
going home soon, or going to a
neighbor’s to dinner.
This reminds us of one of our
friends in Dooly county who owns
a mule about twenty years old.
The old mule knows when it is 12
o’clock by the sound of the dinner
horn, if it is a mile away, he begins
to bray, and increases His speed
with the plow till he reaches the
end of the row, and then he stops
and refuses to move until tlie har
ness is taken off.
Washington Chronicle: “The re
port of a few weeks ago to tlie effect
that Chinese M'ere going to be tried
in Columbia county on a farm in
stead of negro labor has been traced
to a northern man who is farming
in that county. He has said that
lie would do it, but an investigation
proves tiiat if lie does intend doing
it lie cannot, for he does not possess
the means to bring the rat eating
beauty over from the far distant
country. There are some very
queer stories told of this northerner
in tlie vicinity of his home, in fact
they amount to superstition and are
not worth repeating. If this inter-
prising yankee was able and should
bring the gentlemen up from “be
neath” us to compete with the ne
gro labor we do not think that they
would be able to stay in Columbia
very long, for who could want them,
with their filth and disease, to be

SAMUEL DUNLAP, OF ATLANTA, (1A.
The excellent picture wo present at the heml
of this column, is of a mini who is us well
anil favorably known in Ills capacity as a
travelling man or “drummer” as any ono
man In the United States.
Mr. Dunlap said In conversation recently:
“At out four years ago I had a severe attack
of rheumatism, which completely disabled
mo for a time, and which developed into
what Is commonnly called ‘chronic,’ attack
ing mo when least expected, and laying mo
up entirely; Incapacitating mo for any kind
<>t business, and causing me us much trouble
In a day as should bo crowded in a lifetime.
After one t f my most severo attacks, anil
when I had Just got able to hobble around, I
met Mr. J. M. Hunnlcutt, an old friend, and
lie said ho could make a remedy that would
cure me, and by gracious, be did. I took two
bottle* of Ills stuff, prepared from roots and
herbs, and I have never had a twinge of rheu
matism since. The medicine was not pre
pared for sale at that tihie, but was manufac
tured by Mr. Hunnlcutt for his friends.
About six months ago It was determined to
place It upon the market, and a firm was or
ganized for that purpose. Two weeks ago, in
the midst of my suffering, I noted In one of
their advertisements that it was good for kid
ney troubles also. I know it would cure rheu
matism, and I bought a half a dozen bottles
at once and determined to give It a fair show
at a khlnOy disease of long standing. It may
seem extravagant, but the first day’s use gnvc
me relief, and before I had completed taking
one bottle my disagreeable symptoms lmd
entirely disappeared. I have used two bot
tles up to this time, and 1 have not felt a trace
of my disense for a week.”

ten by the same brute and no bad
effects have resulted, the parents

ter seems to have been forgotten.
Last Saturday the hoy complained
of earache, and growing worse, Dr.
J. T. Mandeville was called to see
him on Monday, June 21, and, al
though he expressed surprise at his
peculiar symptoms and was unable
to diagnose the case, none of the
family thought to inform him that
he had been bitten by the supposed
mad dog. On his return to his office
he learned that it was the boy
which had been bitten, and suspic
ions of hydrophobia were aroused.
He has watched tiie progress of the
disease closely since, and Sunday
pronounced it a well defined case of
hydrophobia, but. not in its most
violent term.

Tlio wonder of those who no to the Harnett

table anil such comfortable rooms can ho of-
fcreil to the public at such minimum rates.—
Without exaggeration, the table of the Har

anil the rates Just one-half as large. Courte
