Three United States Soldiers Have Their
Heads Shaved, Bodies Tattooed, and
are Drummed Out Of Service.

are Drummed Out OF Service.
From the Memphis Post, Jan. 20.
On Wednesday of this week three pri-
Yates of the force garrisoned here. named
respectively Myron Ii. Strong Harmon
Springsteen and Stephen Madden, all be-
longing to Company G. Twenty-6lth In
fantry, were tried by general court mar
tial upon the charge of desertion, and
beiug convicted were sentenced to have
their heads shaven, their left hips tattooed
With the letter ID (sigpifying deserter),
and to be dishonorably discharged from
the United States service. The sentence
was executed yesterday. In the morning
the barber of the battalion performed the
job of shaving the hair from their heads
leaving them as bare as a clean shaven
face. The officer of the day, together
with guard, supervised the execution Of
these penalties, and the soldiers, however
much they might have wished TO make
resistance, made none, and they submit
ted to the disgrace in silence.
In the afternoon, at the dress parade,
the unfortunate fellows were brought out
in their undress, with their shaved heads,
uncovered, and marched (headed with the
drum corps, and followed BY guard) in
front of the whole command, through the
navy yard to the various Offices, and then
into the city through several Of the prom
inent streets. After being exposed and
paraded in this manner for some tine,
they were then formally dismissed, and
ordered to leave the garrison, which they
did, with an air of deep shame and morti-
fcation, better conceived than expressed.
Strong had been clerk il General
Grants headquarters in the army, and
deserted once before, but was restored to
duty by order of the General, on proba--
ton. His second desertion was on the
2Sth of April. Springsteen deserted on
the 14th eff March, 1868, and Madden Oh
the 29th of July, 1868.

Gold in the United States.

During the Revolution, and for some
years subsequent, the "red, red gold' Of
the ancient ballad, CT Guinea Gold, was
the style of aureate in vogue in the Uni
ted States, the hue of the metal being
somewhat reddish and the supply coming
from the Guinea coast, whereby the word
guinea came in use for coin. From
1904 to 1929 North Caroliu furnished
all the gold of the republic, amounting,
according to the mint returns, to S1l0,-
900. In 1929 South Carolina sent in her
first installment, $500, to the mint; and
in the next year Virginia and Georgia
swelled the tide, the former State send
ing in $4,000 and the latter Sll3, ,000.-
In 1888 Alabama began to send small
quantities branch mints were established
at Charlotte, North Carolina, and Dahl
omega, in Georgia, and with this gold
establishment, so to speak, we worked "a
long till March, 1918, when gold deposits
were discovered in California of such
richness that before January, 1850, there
were taken out $40, 100000 increased
during the following year to $50, 100000.
From 104S to 1865 the total product of
California has been estimated in official
quarters at $900,000,000! Before such a
total it is useless to speak of any other
yields, though once We were glad enough
to painfully extract few grains here and
there. The California gold has quite
brassy appearance, and does not make up
as handsomely into jewelry as the old red
gold, now hardly ever to be seen save in
heir-looms.

Historical.

1t has been generally reported in this
community that the editor of the Sentinel is
ambitious of the title of historian, and is en-
gagged on a history of all presentments made
by all Grand Juries from the days of Tubal
Gains blacksmith shop to and including the
bill of Indictment against the Democratic
party in 1865, and the presentment gotten
up by himself at the late them of Orange
Court, together with an appendix in which
the author viii give fulI account of how
he broke his "tickler" in Montgomery county,
certificates from Miss Sallie Walker as to
the exact date, in her opinion, when Con-
federate money will be used as a circulating
medium, and the learned opinion Of the au-
thor as to the exact ''color of the last horse
shod at Tubal Gains blacksmith shop before
the flood" and more such matters which are
by him, considered of vital Importance to
the welfare and happiness of those who read
his Indictment against the Democratic party

Enthusiastic.

Monday evening, the Republicans of this
City, who had gathered at the Court House
to hear the announcement of the election
returns, naturally became enthusiastic over
their splendid victory, and formed process
sion, which marched along Fayetteville and
other streets, singing patriotic songs, and
passing some of the dwellings of the newly
elected Commissioners. The voices of the
enthusiastic MINISTRIES stirred the blood and
made the life current leap quickly along its
accustomed channels We thought that, as
the king of Israel answered the boasts OF Ben
ha-dad, the ringing voices of the songsters
said to those Democrats, who were hurrying
home in the evening mists of their New
Years defeat " Tell him." said the king,
" Let not him that girdeth on his harness
boast himself as he that putteth it off, q
Well done, Republicans. Your harness put

The sunreme court Room.

We understand that the Justices of the
Supreme Court are of the opinion, that the
law as it now stands, locates the Court in
the rooms occupied by the Court since 1912,
and that although the Legislature has the
power to change the place of holding the
Court, yet it has not done so. That the res
olution of August last, directing the Stand
ing Committee on Public Buildings to ar
range the rooms of the Capitol so as to fur
nish the Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton with a suitable room, and the action of
the Committee under it, did not have effect
to change the law fixing the place of hold
ing the Court. They do not question the
power of the Legislature to make any
change which may be desired, but they are
of the on.nion that no change has been
made, of which they can officially take
notice. -. ,,4.,.-. tgs..r a

The Bankrupt Act.s

Even now much misrepresentation seems to
remain in the public mind as to the provl-
sions and permanence of this law.
By an amendment made in July last, the
original provisions concerning voluntary
bankrupts were extended to Jan. !, 1869,
In all voluntary cases filed after that date,
the assets of the bankrupt must pay 90 per
cent of his liabilities or he must obtain 1fIthe
written consent of majority of his esedito's
to whom he is indebted as prineip9 doctor
in order to be discharged. The involuntary
side of the law does not change anu Win
the change on the voluntary SIDE, which we
have mentioned, the entire act remain part
of the permanent law of the lahd u
=. Some complaints of the law are made, but
curiously, most ofthem are made on account
of the limitation Of credit, which the act en-
forces, and on account of the provisions
which prevent preferences and sales OF entire
stocks of goods, by which, often heretofore,
all or nearly all creditors were left without
recourse. ..r..r.a .ra Hs
Few dividends in voluntary cases have
been made, for the obvious reason that most
of the voluntary bankrupts, thus far, are
men who have long since been hopelessly in
solvent. Creditors of these men. whose la
bilities have been long ago charged to profit
and loss, can hardly expect an assignee to
find assets, where they, themselves, with
judgments and executions, have for years
looked in vain.
1t does sometimes seem that opposition to
the discharge of dishonest bankrupts results
rather unfavorably, but this is chiefly due to
the indifference and inattention of creditors.
They need but exercise the same zeal and
diligence in these as in other suits, to sue
coed in meritorious cases.
The costs are sometimes spoken of as ex-
cessive. This is mistake. Including all
publications by marshal and assignee, the
costs in voluntary cases, we are informed, do
not exceed, for clerk, marshal, register and
assignee, one hundred and forty or one hun
bred and fifty dollars, unless in cases hay
ing assets. The custody and disposition OF
assets costs no more than in cases OF admin
istration.
Surely a bankrupt who cannot meet read
lily these expenses, cannot be materially ben
Gifted by discharge from his liabilities.
As an engine for defeating and preventing
frauds, the act has no rival in any OF our
enactments. The honest debtor it touches
gently; ON the dishonest one it lays hand
of iron, If creditors so choose.

The LATE REV. HENRY HARDIE.-A cores
pondent of the Fayetteville Presbyterian pays the
following just tribute to our late estimable
friend and fellow citizen, the Rev. Henry Hardie,
which we take pleasure in transferring to our
columns H.f 3 stt t''
81 was much gratfed at your editorial notice
of the death of tine Rev. Henry Hardie, late
Bible Society Agent tor the State of North Caro-
lima. can fully confirm all you said of his eff
cheney as an agent, and usefulness as ready
writer in unfolding the varied and almost un-
he so dearly loved But the most pleasing
memorial of our brother was his beautiful and
consistent character as "a man of Cod" Retiring
in his manners almost to fault, and exceedingly
sensitive, he never took that position he was en-
titled to among his brethren, but was content to
let his light shine in the humber walks OF life.
He possessed in remarkable degree the conf
dence of the poor and particularly OF the Freed
men, which they always manifested by fockiLg
to hear him whenever it was known he would
preach for them. Especially in his late sickness
did his christian virtues unfold themselves to all
whose privilege it was to behold him. To use
the language Of one who witnessed his last suf-
erings, . his trusting confidence in the all sufi-
cheney of the atonement of Jesus Tor sin, and
the touching love he manifested for the Saviour,
were beautiful to behold. A more Christian
death-bed-a more trusting heart in Gods pre-
cious prOmises-a more serene mind-u more
beautiful sunset of lfe's stormy and troublous
day, can scarcely be imagined" Oh! that hs
God may continue to De the husband to the
widow and the Father to his children, is the
prayer of one who knew him well"
