The suit of W. Z. Britton, against Benz.
F. Butler to recover $4,000, the amount Of
two drafts seized by Gen. Butler in 1862,
while he was military governor of New
Orleans. came up for hearing before Judge
Woodruff in the United States Circuit Court
to-day. Gen. Butler was present, and ad-
vised the United States District Attorney.
who defended the action on behalf of the
Government.
The counsel for Mr.. Britton stated that
in 1862, a man bearing two drafts, drawn by
the firm of which Britton was a partner
doing business in NatcheZ, Miss, was ar
rested while attempting to cross from the
Confederate lines into New Orleans. The
drafts were their valuables, but Gen Butler
compelled Miles, Judson & Co., who were
the agents in New Orleans for Britton Il
Co, to endorse them. and then got them
cashed. He claims that Britton was not
an enemy of the United States, and that his
property could not, therefore, be cOnfiscated
by an agent of that Government.
General Butler testified that he seized the
drafts as rebel property, made Il proper re-
turn of the facts of the seizure to the Gov
ernment through the Provost Marshal Gen
erals department, and devoted the amount
obtained on the drafts for public purposes.
such as feeding the sick in New Orleans.
strengthening the Mississippi river tortiti-'
cations, and defraying the expenses OF his
secret service force.
The case was heard by Judge Woodruff
without jury, ard he is to decide on the
law points involved.
Here is a case in which neither party
is entitled to sympathy. The Southern
man who to acquire money will make
oath that he had no sympathy with his
own people in the war and was truly
loyal of the other side, does not deserve
anything better than kicks and cuffs at
their hands As for Beast Buffers tes-
timony that he confscated the money of
the loyal friend Southerner for public
uses, all know how that is. Instead of
spending it in feeding the Sick &c, he
placed it where it would do him most good
into his own eapacious pocket. 1t is
part of the overgrown fortune which he
is said to have acquired during the war
though when it commenced, he was a
seedy politician, impecunious and out of

Mr.. Harvey married Miss Salina Morris, OF
Pike county, the 18th of June, 1854, who to-
gether with four children survive him. Mr..
Harvey was well and favorably known to
many Of the citizens OF Kinds county, and all
who knew him had the utmost confidence in
his integrity. As man. he was honest and
upright in all his dealings with his fellow
men IN the camp he was tried and proved
hlmseI worthy; his messmates formed an
attachment to him that survives his death and

The Late Panic and Ghe working
People.

The late panic, which for the time
created general apprehension, and caused
the banks and individuals to rake to
gether all the money they could get and
Keep it locked up, proves in the end
more disastrous TO the working classes
than to any other. The bankers and
SPECTATORS who fail are generally provi-
ded with some means, through previous
assignment Of property to their families
or otherwise In fact, they live gene
rally in much the same style. But the
locking up of money through fear in
scuch a crisis closes manufacturing es-
adjustments, stops industry and throws
out of employment great numbers OF
work people, who have nothing to live
upon but their wages from week TO week.
All round we hear of suspension of la
Dor, because employers cannot get the
money necessary to pay their hands.
EMPLOYERS take advantage, too, of such
a state of things to reduce the rate OF
wages. Every way, therefore, the work
ingmen are the greatest sufferers. Ihls
stringency in the money market, ana
consequent interruption of industry, oc-
cur, unfortunately, mt time Of the year
when the prospect Is more gloomy imam
at any Other season-when the winter l.
about to commence and when families
want to lay in a supply of fuel and other
necessares. But The tradesmen and
small dealers must also suffer from the
means of the most numerous class Of
society being cut Oft. However, the
winter has not set III yet, and there are
indications of an Improvement III the
financial affairs of the country. The
effect of the panic is passing away, and
it is to be hoped the banks and indivd-
uals who have locked up the money will
let it out again, and thus enable the
manufacturers To resume or continue
work. The state of things caused by
the recent disturbance is only artificial.
Still. it will take IL little time to bring
the current back TO its ordinary channel.
In the meantime we advise employers to
be consderate to their wOrkmen, and the
workmen to be patient and reasonable.
The country is prosperous, nOtwithstand-
ing the temporary panic Is full of re-
sources, and never had, since the war, a
better prospect rs regards trade with for
eign nations. We hope the consequences
of the panic will pass away before the
severe winter weather sets in.

The Bond Question.

One good has resulted from the as
sembling of the Legislature. 1t passed
in due form an amendment to the Con-
stitution to be submitted to a vote of the
people at the election next succeeding
that of 1873, prohibiting the payment Of
the Union and Planters Bank bonds.
The people will doubtless gladly embrace
the opportunity of sanctioning it; and on
the next Legislature will devolve the
solemn duty of duly incorporating it into
the organic law of the State. The Con-
servatives and Alcorn Republicans sup
ported it as measure of justice; and
the Ames faction, Notwithstanding their
official organ had declared that the
" Bonds would be paid, provided the Re
publican party remains in power" have
been driven by the bull-whip with which
the Eminent Man has scourged them into
its support At all events, if the action
of the Legislature is properly followed up
by the people, the game of the sharpers
who expected to make their fortunes in
the Bond" business, has been spoiled.

saws: lin haste and with feelings of horror
| write to inform the public of the accused
action OF the Metropolitan Police, senthere
by Lieut.. Gov. Antoine during the absence
OF Kellogg. On Saturday night last the
house of one of the most respectable widow
ladies on Red river was fired into near this
place, the doors broken open, and the un-
Fortunate lady and her daughter of II were
taken out and--horrible TO relate--Violated !
Neither of the ladies could be found until
late Sunday afternoon. An infant Is months
old and grand child of Ex-Governor Wells
were found out in the road some half mile
from the house and hear the spot where the
foul deed was perpetrated. The infant was
the niece OF the widow lady and child OF
MumtOrd Wells, the oldest son of eX-Gov-
ernor Wells.
The negroes up here all say it was the
soldiers, ard we all believe ifthey were not
the perpetrators they instigated the negroes
to the horrid deed of infamy. 1t is sad
here that when Col. Dekline was informed
of the outrage he smiled and said his troops
were up here for higher purpose than ar
resting men for such petty o11enses. An
tome Is believed to have sent these creatures
up here to give the negroes chance OF
revenge, and one told the writer that he had
a right now, under the protection of the
United States, to shoot any white man he
wanted TO shoot, and to violate any woman
he met. / said to him that these were
State troops and not United States troops,

a negro ball the night before that he wapt-
ed all the colored people To come and see
that they could now do as they pleased, and

The Truth AT LaSf.

An amusing incident of childish hui
NOR used to be narrated by Mr.. Camp-
bell, of Jura, the subject of it being his
own son. 1t seems the boy was much
spoiled by indulgence; in fact, the
parents were scarcelysable to refuse him
anything he demanded. He was in the
drawIng-rOom on one occasion when din
ner was announced, and on being order
ed upstairs to the nursery, he insisted on
going down to dinner with the company.
His mother at first refused, but the child
persevered and kept saying, elf We dinna
let me, I'll tell you" His father then.
for the sake of peace, allowed him to 90
into the dInlng-room. He sat at the table
before his mother, and when he found
every one getting soup and himself omit
ted, he demanded soup and repeated. eff
L dlnna get some, I'll tell you" Well,
soup was given, and various other things
yielded to his opportunities, to which he
always added the usual threat of 'stelIing
you. AT last, when it came to wine
ms mother stood firm, and positively re-
fused to let him have some. He then
became more vociferous than ever about
telling you" and as he was still refused.
ne declared, ''Now I'll tell you." and at
last roared out, to the great amusement
OF all present, MY new breeks were
made out o the auld curtains!"

The Duty DeVOIVed upon Gov.
Powers by the Legislature.

The Senate acted shametully. BY per-
hitting persons to sit in that body who
had vacated their seats by having accept
ed other Offices incompatible with the
office Of Senator, by dilatory motions,
and factious manneuvering to kill time,
it avoided an expression on the mooted
question of the Election Laws. These
remarks apply, of course, to the Ames
clansmen. Their proceeding leaves no
other way open to Gov. Powers and
the others associated with him in the
State Government, except to hold their
places until it shall have been determined
by the Courts that such other persons as
may claim the right to occupy them have
been constitutionally elected. The rem
edy Is orderly. 1t is peaceable. Itneed
be attended by no undue excitement
and we are sure it will be attended by
none outside of the cormorants and dead
beats whose only means of support is
public office
