Yours Truly,


The Greenville Patriot Of the 23l inst
tells the sad tale Of the death, by his own.
hand, Of respected citizen Of that town.
1t says:
at is our painful duty to announce the
death OF JABEz GILREATH. He shot him
self yesterda, afternoon, whilst alone in
room over his store. He had been going
about and attending to business a few
hours before the melancholy circumstance
occurred. For some time past Mr.. Gil.
rea,h had been in bad health, and his
mind was evidently affected. There was
an inquest held over his body. We have
not time to state further particulars Of this
terrible deed. In all the relations OF
life Mr.. Gilreath was most worthy and
estimable man, and universally respected
and esteemed. He LET letter, written
five days before, giving directions as to
his family arrangements"

In October 1892, in conformity to what had been agreed
upon by the holy alliance at Laybach congress of the
soveregns of Europe held at Verona The Emperor
and Empress of Austria the Kings of Prussia and Sardinia
and the Emperor of Russia, were present in person
France was represented by the Vscounts Montmorency
and Chaeaubriand. Among the eminent personages who
participated in the proceedings of this congress
Prince eernich and the Chevalicr de Cent? Count Mes
serode Count Pozzo de Bogo the Senator Tatische and
Cardinal Spina, the representative of the Pope.
The conferences lasted till the middle of December and
conducted with secrecy No stranger
allowed to remain in Verona without most satisfactory
explanation of the business which called or kept him
there
The chief subject that occupied the attention of the
gress the condition of SPAIN that country being under
the of the Cortes which considered in
consistent with the safety of monarchical power and Rus
sia Prussia Austria and France were inclined to rein
state Ferdinand by the intervention of foreign power.
England dissented and protested she maintained that
foreign powers had right interfere in the affairs Of
Spain and that they did, il might lead to general war
in Europe The result the protest
Of Englandthat there should be joint declaration of
hostes but that France might invade Spain for the
purpose of restoring Ferdinand power and she would
meet with opposition from any of the powers of the
continent
In the spring of 1929 French army entered SPAIN the
constitutional government overhrown and the
archy restored the object of the holy alliance at
taned and as Ferdinand restored be invited
the allied powers to cooperate with him in subugaing
his revolted provinces in America.
England had already taken decided grounds on the
question, and, while she absolutely discaimed not only
any desire of appropang to herself any portion of the
Spanish colonies any intention of forming any political
connection with them beyond that Of amity and
cal intercourse yet declared that she would regard the
aid of any foreign power in enterprise of Spain
against the colonies constituting question, and
one in regard which she would act as her interests
might require
In this emergency, it became desirable for England to
obtain decided expression Of opinion from the United
States and it has been said that the American minister
at London WAS solicited by Mr. Canning to call the atten
ton of the government of the United States to the pro-
posed interference of the holy alliance and to obtain
expression from the President the subject 1t was
under these circumstances it in this crisis that Mr.
Monroe's declaration made.
