4 Bloody Family Teud.

The vendetta, of which the follow.
.ing events are the chief is located in
Shelby county, Tennessee, near Mem.
phis, and is known as the Bolton
Dickens feud, Colonel Thomas Dick.
ems, who was shot few days ago, be.
ing the last victim. Bolton, Dickens
& Co. used to De the style of a Mem.
phis slave mart, as. long ago as 1857,
In May of that year, a Kentuckian-
a resident of Maysville-named Nc
MILAN, sold to Isaac L. Bolton, one O
the firm, a negro boy, whose master
had guaranteed him his freedom if he
was ever sold out of the State. The
boy sued the firm for his freedom and
got it, but Isaac Bolton, in revenge
shot Mcmillan. The trial of the form.
er was a most notable event in The
criminal jurisprudence of that section
as he was acquitted by the jury, every
one of whom had been bribed. Bu
it cost 500, 900, and the other mem
bers of the firm refused to help pay
the bill. The quarrel then sprung uI
between Thomas Dickens and Wash
ingtOn Bolton on one side and Isaal
and. Wade H. Bolton on the other
During the war the feud sumhereC
and Washington and Isaac Boltor
died. In 1865, Dickens opened q
chaneery suit against Wade, which
was Waged on both sides with grea
bitterness. In 1869 two men tried tt
assassinate Dickens in his own house
and did kill neighbor and a negro
girl who were in the room with him
These. two hired assassins were after
wards hunted down and shot il
Northern Alabama. Each of tht
principals threatened in the cour
room to kill the other, and in the fol
lowing June, Colonel Dickens openly
shot Wade Bolton in a public squar,
of Memphis. The murderer was trieC
and acquitted, and his foe left quar-
ter of a million dollars, mostly t,
charities, as was announced at th'
time. On Saturday morning, a shor
time since, Colonel Dickens, an ole
man of sixty years, started to rid,
home from a neighbOr's, where he haC
Sptut the night, when he was shO
from an ambush and fell from hi
horse dead. Thus passes away thi
lred-handed generation, and the ques
ion is whether the next will emulat
its blood-thirsty revenge.

sec.y Bou,weal-on the Finance.

Sec'y Boutwell, On the Finances
Secretary Boutwell, made short
speech to members of the Shoe and
Leather Exchange of Boston, Satur-
day. On the subject of the revival ol
American commerce, he said the iron
vessels of England were monopolizing
the commerce of the world, including
the foreign trade of the United States,
and that the monopoly must be brok-
en- down. Adverting to the national
debt, he said the payments already
made have advanced the national
credit. These, payments should be
continued at the rate of at least fifty
millions year until the bonds of the
United States are at par in coin,
whether they bear interest at four OF
six per cent. This can be done after
one year, he thought, even-upon the
reduced system of taxation. The in,
terest account of the public debt should
be reduced to one hundred millions a
year The reduction of the principal
will accomplish this result, but a re-
duction ofthe interest will accomplish
it Immediately. He expressed him
self in favor of re-fundfng a portion oI
the debt at a lower rate of interest.
