Congress would have Unidentified General Creenes family
for the full amount of what he had paid if he had this
indemnity in part from the sale of the of his debtor
At subsequent period they paid in full larger
for another liability which General Greene had incurred to
another creditor OF Banks Co, who had furnished sup
plies for the army under like circumstances and if had
turned out that this indemnity worth nothing had
been worth much less than supposed the obga
ton which required the public to bear the loss Of the rest
of the debt would require the payment Of this part AT
that time the representatives of General Greene had
ished their claim to have the benefit of the interest which
John Ferre had in the land which had been ascerained
by the sale made by the master in chancery. 1t
tanly right that that should be deducted from the
amount which Congress had assumed to relieve General
GreeDes family But they received it, all the
which apply the original assumption of the debt by
Congress still applicable unless they have lost the debt
by their own laches or negligence Iappears from
ment Of the history of the contained in the decree

of Murray Daniel e al that the cultivation 6f the Mel
vile estate had been abandoned before the sale by the mas
ter in cancery that at early period After per-
haps before the purchasemoney due the claim of Duff
was set up and suit at law pending time be-
Duff and Murrays agents Peninan and Tunno This
claim never finally settled until 1885, when by agree
ment the titles of the parties referred Mr. Parker
an eminent attorney in Charleston who decided against
Dufs title In the time in 1915 the title of Louisa
Oneness the heir of the former and morgager of the
land had passed into the hands Of Dr. Daniel, who hid
into possession and resisted the claim Of both Murray
and Duff and this claim not put of the until
the final decree of the court in 1884, from which appears
that from above 1890 up to l94l period of fy-one
years, there was dispute about the title The land in
1889 was sold on credit OF three years and only in
part due at the date of the act of 1892 1t is said that
Wadsworth and Rutledge who were with Mrs Greene the
executors OF General Greene died after this trans
action The date of Wadsworths death is not known
Mr.. Edward Ratcdge died in 1900. 1t is not known
whether either of them ever qualified II probable they

VIrRIoL ScoUSDREL.-Repeated instances
have lately occurred in New York, at the
close Of theatres and other place of amuse-
ment, in which elegant dresses of ladies' have
been ruined by having vtriol thrown upon
them when the audience were leaving the
building. Silks amounting to thousands Of
dollars have thus been ruined; in four even
ings $4,000 in rich dresses were destroyed
The police were put upon watch, and. on
Thursday evening, at the close Of the per-
formance at the Metropolitan Theatre, caught
the rascal in the act of throwing his liquid
fire. The devil had in his hand a small can
with aeonical tube, similar to those used
by MACH nists, filled with sulphuric acid.
The fellow gave his name as Theodore A.
Gray, and confessed to having thrown the
acid on two dresses that evening. He ap.
pears to be religious monomaniac, and his
conduct is attributed to his zeal for the sup
preston Of theatrical amusements.
