Reiaeny I'm Apology. In the Scranton (Pa.) Daily. To the Editor: This is an open letter written to the great unknown "peanuts cater and rracker 1 ’ whom I have not the pleasure to know, and who showed bis great bravura vir tuosity In cracking peanuts while I was play ing tlie softest .strain* In Schubert's lovely sere nade, and whom I dared to rebuke publicly at tlio concert which I gave last evening at your nice opera-house ot Scranton. It is now too late for me to repent for having rebnked him publicly, heroine he was right nn-l I was wr> >ng. The unknown j-canuts devourer was a real mclonanr. and of course aI*o a gas tronome, und this I can prove beyond dis pute. Imo. Ills idea was to give me and to ihcpab- 11c In exchange of my musical notes, peanuts; la-ides, he imant It also well not only from a (astronomical, but also from a melomnnlnc 'tandjioint—be wanted to help me with n kind >t cestegtiette accompaniment. So you sec, leur editor, he was not a fiend 0W the contra ry. But in fiiiuro Hie great unknown gcntlo- n’mii peanuts cracker, eater end devwnet would tv it he would bring with blroa bushel of peanuts and to strew them on tlic floor. It would greatly relieve the monotony of a eon- ert by tills continuous kind of tiedal rrex-crax z-comprtulmcnt, which wouM be altogether harming and most barnioniou-. He might is based. In the first place, you state that those who are acting with me are “speculators and brokers.” Doubtless some so-called speculators and brokers have acted with me, but that ?s simply duo to tbo fact that they saw that I appreci ated the truo value of Central rail road stock, not that I sought the aid of that class of holders any more than of others. For years I have been advising re>y friends constantly lo yuy Central railroad stock—not to sell, but to hold. Many thousands of shares have been bought on my advice; but not one share ot it has ever been sold by my advice. Two years ago, when ilie Central rail road board agreed to lease the road in perpetuity for 7 per cent., I declared to all interested that the value of the prop erty was not appreciated; that it would readily earn double lhat money; aud but little over a year ago, when the Idea got abroad that the Georgia Haliroad Commission would utterly destroy the value of the Central railroad stock, and when even the Central railroad bank would not lend money on U as collateral, i advised toy friends that the stock was even then worth two hundred, though it was selling con siderably below par. Although I say il myself, I think all who are familiar with the facts will admit that my representa tions aud figures first opened the eyes of the board to tlie true value of the stock, and, allowing for the forty percent, de- ben’.uies which have been de clarei, what was at that time selling at eighty is to day bringing one hundred aud eighty. Cer tainly the Central railroad stockholders have not been liuit by me yet. My views, though only partially carried out, have doubled the market value of their invest ment. I appreciated their stock and made a large market for ;t, when the company Iteelf was practically running it down. And I say still, that the stock is worth more than it Is bringing, and advise tuy friends to buy it, not ou speculation or to sell again, but to keep as the safest and soundest railroad investment in the State, in spile of tho efforts of some parties to de preciate it who ought to know better. But I have not lime to say inure on this subject, or to point out ths absurdity of imagining that my friends, very many of whom are among the oldest stockholders in the State, and whose interests amount to millions, have less at heart tlie real welfare of the company, than any one else; and especially than those whose interests are very small. Sow as to what it 13 proposed to do. It is not proposed to issue any fixed obligation or bond, or debent ure whatever, upon either the railroad or tho steamships, ft is proposed to issue simply a certificate of interest in tlic net earnings of the steamship company after paying all fixed charges, all tuterest, all sinking fmuls, all marine losses, aud lay ing tip a considerable yearly surplus. This knocks to the ground all your ar guments about loading the company with debt, or impairing in the least the value of the stock. The stock has never yet received a dol lar of dividend lroui the earnings of the steamships. They have been accumulat ed in betterments, and the stock stands to-day on iis own merits as safe a ten per cent."stock as there is in tlie country. The net earnings of tlie first four mouths of the current fiscal year are more than sufficient to pay its fixed charges aud interest on its debentures; and there are eight months left to earn dividends. But when all this is represented to those who are oppo3iug the Issue, thev admit that what it is proposed to do will do no harm t but they claim that tho cer tificates will have no "value. Tyro-thirds of your own article is taken up with an effort to show very elaborately how liltle value they will have. i rrply to this, let the stockholders have the benefit of them anyhow, aud see if they will not have a value. 1 believe that they will have a very considerable value; and there will be enough others who be lieve it, moreover, to maec it very easy for those who do net want to keep them to get a very good price for them. If they have a value, certainly the stockholders are entitled to receive u, be it little or much. Now, one word about the right of the Southwestern railroad stockholders to participate in whatever may be given to tlie stockholders of the Central ra'-iroad. I imagine that the writer of your editorial is a Southwestern stockholder, from the protniuenco given that subject, and not a Central railroad stockholder at ail. 1 have simply to say, that if the attorney of the Central railroad advises that the Southwestern Is entitled to partici pate, no objection will be made ou my part. A contact is a contract, and 1 sli mid never advise or assist iu any effort to evade the prorisions of one. Im portant questions like ibis should be de termined by counsel, aud not by laymen such as myself. 1-say caudiiily, however, that your Southwestern stockholder makes a very good showing, and for my part 1 make no issue with him. If be has ctsnfi- dente in liis contract he should the rather favor my views; as in that case h>s proper ly is also worth far more than it is bring ing in the market. Individually, too, I liava always be lieved that he bad a good case ; and have advised all Central railroad stockholders that the Southwestern, in my judgment, would have to participate. But for all that, legal advice will doubtless be takeu cn the subject. To tlie personal abuse contained in your article and to its accusations of folly, iguorauce aud nuworthy motives, I have no reply to wake. Such arguments are worthy only of contempt, anil cer tainly no stockholder in the Central railroad or tho Southwestern lias ever yet bad occasion to regret the in fluence 1 have been able to exert upon the value of bis property. And wbat I am uow proposing is no wild scheme, but. one carefully considered and prepared, and guarded against every contingency of barm, and is approved by men kuown among the very best financiers in Georgia.

Mr. Morgan’s resolution for the printing of testimony, etc., lu regard to exoeriments Willi heavy guns ana projectiles being built by the government aud calling for tbo report of the mixed commission, etc. was taken up am! adopted, witli modifica tions suggested by its author. At 1:50 tbo 3 per cent, bond bill was taken up, the question being upon Mr. Plumb’s amend ment to apply tlie surplus revenues over $100,000,000 to the reduction of the public debt. Mr. Bayard moved to amend co as to re quire that the $100,000,000 lo he retained iu tho treasury shall be of standard coin value. Ho wanted tlio dollars to bo real honest dollars, not paper. Mr. Plumb signified his willingness to accept tlie amendment, as he had supposed that the enly dollais in tho treasury were standard coin dollar], but upon a point made by Mr. Garland it was ruled that a vote must be taken. Mr. Bayard’s motion was then adopted—ayes 37, nays 14. Mr. Plumb’s amendment was rejected—ayes 25, nays 27. An amendment by Sir. Hoar, declaring that the bonds bearing 3J per cent, in terest aro hereby declared legal, elicited a continuance of tbo discussion upon the ratificaticn of the funding of the fives and sixes by cx-Secretary Wiiidom. The debate continued at considerable length, principally between Messrs. Win- dini, Hoar, Vest and Ingalls—sometimes taking the shape of a personal controversy between Messrs. Windora aud Vest and Window and Ingalls. Finally, tne amend ment as origiually proposed by Mr. In galls end "modified by Mr. Hoar was adopted. Ayes 43, nays 10. It is as fol lows : “That the Secretary of the Treas ury Is hereby authorized to receive at tho treasury auft at the office of any assistant treasurer of the United Stales, and at any postal money order office, lav/lul money of the United Statcsto the amount of fifty dollars or any multiple of that sum, or any bonds of the United Slates bearing 3) per cent, interest, which are hereby de clared valid, and to issue in exchange therefor an equal amount of registered or coupon bonds.” Several messages from the President including communications fiom the beads of Ui psrtments, were read and referred. A motion for an executive session was voted down, as were a’so several subse quent wotious for adjournment, by the opponents of the bill, Mr. Sherman declaring his intention t3 have tho bill disposed of if possible without further delay, and a majority of the Senate supported him. Mr. Teller renewed the amendment of Mr. Plumb, with sundry additional feat ures, requiring the application of tlie sur plus revenue above $120,000,000, etc., but upon being appealed to by Mr. Allison and others not to retard aud endanger the bill, he withdrew it. Mr. Hawley renewed hit amendment offered in tlio committee of the whole. At 5 o’clock tbe friends of the bill mani fested a disposition to prolong the session so as to roach a final vote. Mr. Voorlices then took tho floor and proceeded to arraign Mr. Wiudom’s fund ing operations, hut had no material pro gress when the motion to adjourn pre vailed and tlie Senate adjourned. house. • Voorhees resumed his remaiks. The pending amendment of Mr. Hawley, lim iting tl-e withdrawals of bond circulation under the fourth section of tlie act of 1874 to $5,000,000 per month, and requiring thirty days’previous nolico timisof, was si’i‘itf:yi enuur.

Warner existed for somo years and en joyed a large and lucrative business.

Elected again iu 1849, for six years, he served uu- tfi June, 1S53, and then resigued and re turned to the bar. In 1855 he was elected to Congress, and4n I860 was a member of the secession convention. After the war ho was called lo resume judicial functions by executive appoint ment, in the spring of 1866, to a vacancy on tho bench oftbe Coweta circuit. The people of the circuit elected him to the samu position in tho following January, aud In Jure, 1807, he wa> appointed by the Governor chief justice of ihe Supreme Court, in consequence of the death or Ohlel Justice Lumpkin. Reconstruction supervened, ami a new organization oftbe court took place under the constitution of 1868, when, though ha was of opposite politics, he was nominated by Governor Bullock to a place ou the bencl’ as ono of the associate justices, and confirmed by tlic Senate.

After the days of that party he was a national Democrat, and so remained to tlio close of his life. Ho was an ardent friend of tho Union, and in tlio conven tion of I860 opposed secession, but on tho passage of tbo ordinance sigued it lu token of bis determination to adhere to the for tunes of the fjtato as moulded by a ma jority of his colleagues, thongh his own Judgment disapproved of (heir action.

Though so much of bis life was given to tbe study, practice and adminis tration ol tho law, ha was by no means a mere lawyer, hot bad extensive information and sound opinions upon many practical subjects, and was, prior to and during the war, a most successful planter on a largo scale. He delighted in agriculture, and wss always in close and kindly sympathy with the tillers of the soil. With about equal fitness he could be classed either as a farmer-judge or a judge- farmer. Nor was he Indifferent to any other of the useful vocations or material interests of tbe world. He maintained a vigilant outlook upon all tbe great de partments of industry and enterprise, and was alive to every agency and in dication of prosperity, whether for his neighborhood, his couuty, bis State or the United Slates. He believed in “getting along,” aud bad no taste for inaction or reaction. He possessed no clement of tbe recluse or the dreamer. He loved contact with hard, practical facta and with tbe movement and push of busy life; when be could not take part as an actor ho looked on as an Interested spectator. In religious faith and practice he was reared as a Presbyterian, and though he never became a communicant of that or auy other church, ho lived and died a be liever iu tbe inspiration of 'the Bible, the truth of Christianity and in tbe distinctive tenets of tbe denomination to which his ancestry belonged, aud to whose formative influence his own childhood and youth bad beeu subjected.

Whether regarded as a judgo or as i mau his great, dominant characteristic was strength. He was vigorous and sound—strong in intelloit, In will, In purpose, lu Integrity, in force of charac ter, atjd lu tbe energy of duty. He stood squsihJy to his post on all occasions aud under all circumstauces, and followed his convictions wherever they led. It is ^bbable that he L ared no being in the niverse except the living God, but ith all L'ls intrepidity he was free from any disposition to domineer over others, or to provoke contention or controvetsy. He was always deliberate and selt-posscssed and held liis powers weli in hand. If somewhat strict in bringing others up to duty, he was even less indulgent .to himself. He was the most prompt and pnuctual of men. When ho worked bv the clock he was never tardy; it isccrtaiutbatforyearshe was not late in aslDgic instance, even fora second.

Carlo came here after the failure ol Jim Fisk’s theatre- In New York, where he had been engaged as leader of tlio orchestra. While in that posit'on he was presented with a violin by Fisk, said to have been worth over $3,0J0. Hutchins & Wakefield were just opening tho St. Louis Grand Opera house with the express determination ot running grand opera iu it, and Carlo Patti waa engaged as musical conductor. In about v month tbe management decided that burlesque opera would pay better and Carlo was left out. A scries of con certs was given in his behalf. They were not financially a success, and Carlo bo- came embarrassed for money. He grew very despondent, aud applied to D. G. Reed, and was by him introduced.to Ew ing, tbe proprietor of the Times. Ewing advanced him nearly $400. Carlo was at that time living at tho old St. Clair hotel. He one da7 brought to Major Ewing the violin which Fisk had given liim, and left it as security. On December 9 aud 10, 1872, Carlolta Patti appeared in a concert at the mercantile library hall. Carlo was at tbo timo sick at liis hotel and in great distress, but she, it is said, refused to aid him. He was afterwards turned cut of his hotel. Srmo of bus friends arranged a concert for hi3 benefit, which look place In the temple on March 4tli,1873. Within a few days after the concert, Carlo died and was buried in Calv'.vryjceuietery. His funeral expenses were defrayed by Prof. Waldauer and others. After Carlo’s death bis wife was turned out on the street a^d wasobligad to go on tbe varie ty stago lo earn a livelihood for herself and children. In May, 1S74, major Ew ing died. During all this lime Carlo’s vio lin had been repeatedly offered by Ewing to Carlo's sisters, Adelina and Csrlotta, iu a family relic if tlrqr would simply pay wbat Carlo owed to Major Ewing and diaries Ware, altogether about $700. This, It is said, they omitted to do. After Major Ewing’s death the violitj was sold by Major C. C. Rain water as executor ol tho estate.

The favorable report was supplemented by an other bill lrom Mr. kasson, which is iden tical with the Morrill hilt in the Senate. Tlie friends of tho McKinley bill to make certain special changes are afraid to launch their craft on the troubled water, and it was decided that It had belter be withheld for the time being. It is the opiuiou of those who favor a revision bv the present . ways and means committee tbit the reso lution taken in favor of the commission is an important step toward the p'ivt]x>ne- Rientoflhe revision till some future Con gress. They argue with teeml-ig plausi bility that a commission of nine experts wilt take all of a year to come to a con clusion, aud *hat even if they reported next session wo should be no nearer the settlement of tin; tariff question than if a bill was reported at the same time by the committee of ways aud'tneaus.

Ho was eating peanuts at the time, the aroma of which was so tempting to the acquaintance that he immediately went and purchased a pint, warm aud fresh from the roaster by the fountain. As ho did so ho noticed two m ot watching him, and as he stepped to one side each of them walked up and purchased a pint of peanuts. It occurred tv him that these two made the purchases because they saw him doing so. He slowly Walked away, eating the fruit, and before he had gone a great distance he saw two others step up and bay peanuts, who evidently had their attention called lo tlie matter by nor t icing what he was doing. Then he began to moralize upon the power of ex- ainpiu. tie i asonr-d flitu : “I bought a pint of peanuts Because I saw Mr. eating them ; already four have bought peanuts because they saw me do so, o> saw me eating them ; I have influenced four to buy peanuts ; if Mr. inlluen- cnccd three others besides me, snd each influenced four other, and this goes on In thisT-atio, before the influence ol Mr. dies out he will have influenced more people to cat peanuts than the population of the whole world.
