day have seen my on y brother die. not
the death which the Great Spirit sends

death OF the broken law. We had but
one father. but one mother. There is n

this trouble upon himself, and ! take the

Many, many tines have gone into the

Gen. Wheaton assured Schonchin that
he would represent the matter to the
heads of this department, and ask that
the four children be placed in his care.
He said to Schonchin that he had long
known his good name, and that in con
sideration OF that fact be would try TO
get them for him. The old chief then

The Freak. Of a Fragment.

From the Pittsburg Commercially
Last week. while some men we're en-
gagged blasting rock near Oyster Point,
on the other side of the river from Har-
risburg. piece Of rock as large as a
mans hand was hurled by an explosion
to distance of over 400 yards. Its force
was spent in passing through dwelling
house adjacent TO the toll-gate, one or
two OF the inmates narrowly escaping
with their lives. The most singular part
of the whole occurrence is thai the frsg-
ment passed through one side Of the
house. penetrated to the other, re-
bounded and crushed through the dwell
ing again, finally dropping TO the ground
on the outside The holes made we're
quite large and ragged, but no one was
hurt.

FUNDING.
COMPTRO4.LER'S OFFICE, }
TENN, July 3lst, 1873. s


TIME PROPER AUTHORITIES OF THE
State are now prepared to fund the past due
Bonds and Coupons Of the State. Bonds which
NAV be funded are those legally issued and due,
or to become due before January l, 1874. COu-
pons which may be funded are those matured or
funded Bonds or Coupons must be presented by
the owner or his agent i'll person to the Comp
troller, and be examined and audited by the Gov
ernor and Comptroller. Coupons maturing on
and after July l, 1874, viii not be paid until the
Bonds to which they belong have been presented
to the Comptroller, examined and registered.
The funding and registering must be done here
at the Capitol in Nashville. No power of attor-
ney will be required of persons presenting bonds
or coupons to be funded. The new Bonds will
be delivered to the person who presents the
Bonds or Coupons to be funded, upon his signing
the Memorandum" required by Section 2 of
the Funding Act, which "MemOrandum" is kept
sin well bound book" in this office. THE Fund
ing Act does not allow any interest upon past dAe
Bonds or Coupons since their maturity.
Arrangements have been made with the GEN
eral Superintendent of the Adams Express Com
pany by which bonds and coupons to be funded
can be forwarded to Nashville from the leading
cities of the East and the new series of bonds re-
turned upon liberal terms to those desiring to
fund. Bonds and coupons forwarded to Nash
vile should not be sent to the Comptroller, but
to some one authorized to sign the ''mem0ran-
dunn" above mentioned.
The fees for funding are 81 for each new bond,
that is 81 to the Comptroller and 81 to the Sec
rotary of State. The fees for registering are 81
for each bond registered, that is, 80 cents to the
Comptroller and 80 cents to the Secretary of
State. These fees must be paid and the new
bonds receipted for before the new bonds or the
registered bonds will be delivered.
'The new series of Funding Bonds mature
July LIST, 1914, redeemable at the option of the
State after July LIST. 1884, and bear per cent
interest payable semi-annually, beginning July
LIST, 1874, in New York or Nashville as desired by
the person obtaining the new bond. They are
each for 81 200. The State does not receive and
account for any fraction of bond or coupon in
excess of the bond demanded. If the amount to
he funded be less than the amount of the bond
demanded, the party applying must pay the de-
ficiency in currency, JOHN z. BURoH,
jy313t, comptroller.

TOO THIN.

The Chicago Post, a Republican journal,
is trying to ease the conscience of certain
Of its friends who may have some qualms
about keeping the pay they are drawing in
the event the salary-grab act shall be re-
peaed. Remarking upon the presumption
of many that the salary bill will not be re-
pealed because too many Congressman
have drawn their pay at the new rate, who
will find it inconvenient to refund, the
Post says: "Tbe repesl of the bill
will carry with it no more necessity
to refund than the reduction Of q
clerks salary by his employer would oblige
him to pay over all that he had received
Heretofore in excess of his reduced pay. Re-
auctions of pay have no back-actionsry eff
feet. 1t is only increases of pay that operate
in that way" That is rather too thin. If
the clerk had taken more pay than he
agreed to serve for, as the Congressman
have, his employer would be very apt to
require him to refund.

CONSTITUTION MENDING.

Amendments to the Constitutions OF
Pennsylvania, New York, New jersey and
Ohio are now under consideration, and On
Thursday, the It'll of August, the people of
North Carolina will vote upon the adoption
of eight amendments to their Constitution,
which have been adopted by the Legislature.
They are as follows:
First-To repeal tie clause requiring a
State census in 1875.
SecoEd-To provide for biennial, instead
Of annual sessions of the legislature.
Third-To exempt $500 worth of any
personal property from seizure, instead of
certain articles of that value.
Fourth-To strike out the term "Su-
perintendent Of Public Works" from the
Constitution wherever it occurs.
Fifth-Relieving the Legislature from
levying tax to pay interest on the State
debt.
Sixth-Transferring the control of the
University Of the State to the Legislature.
SeVenth-Abolishing the Code Commits
sion.
Eighth-Prevididg that no person hold
ing an offic in the gift of TIE United
States shall hold State office or sit in the
Legislature.
Most of these amendments are only of
local interest, but those disqualifying n-en
for holding Federal and State Offices at once
aud providing for biennial instead of an
nual sessions of the Legislature are of
general importance. The fist will
assuredly be engrafted upon the new
Constitutions of all the States. The debt
of North Carolina, like that in most of the
Southern States, has caused bitter contro-
very. 1t was largely contracted in behalf
of thieyish "ring," the leader OF which is
now a fugitive from the State. When the
Republicans had full power in the State.
they incorporated clause in the Coustitu-
tIon requiring the Legislature to levy tax
t. pay the debt and interest. That created
a bitter opposition in the minds of the
masses, and they will assuredly adopt the
first amendment proposed to the Constitu.
ton. Even if they do, that does not mean
Reputation. If the debt is declared to be
legal, it will be paid. But the people do
not wish to be compelled to pay a heavy
sum, if 1t is adjudged to be no lien upon
them either in legal or moral sense.

gotten. Again: Ewell was charged with
losing the victory at Gettysburg by failing
to seize Gulp's Hill and Cemetery Ridge on
the first day. Ewell was then living, and
being in good odor with the
Confederates, readily equelched the
idea of making him the scape goat
of Gettysburg. Now, nine years after the
battle comes Longstreet's turn, and not
being in high feather and good odor with
the Southern people, his unworthy ambi-
tom and sill-temper with Lee is readily &C
copied as the true solution of the enigma of
the loss of Gettysburg. My love for the
true soldiers of the Southern Confedracy,
true when we needed friends, has not failed
me, and may be but too prone to defend
them; yet, 1 am persuaded, that when an
impartial history of our civil war can be
written, the military fidelity and heroic re-
cord of James Longstrees will shine fright
among the brightest ornaments of the Con-
federate struggle for liberty and the indie
pendence OF the South"

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
Loss OF GETTYSBURGP

Gen. Pendleton's statement in q public
lecture that Gen. Longstreet was RESPONSE
BILE for the loss to the Confederates ii the
battle o! Gettysburg, has called out letter
from ex-Gov. B. G. Humphreys, of Missis-
sippi, who commanded brigade in Long
streets corps at that time. Gen. Humph-
reys gives vivii account of the three days
battle, and contends that it was not Gen.
Longstreet who disobeyed orders, but that
Gen. j. E. B. Stuart is possibly most re-
sponsible for the Gettysburg disaster. After
reviewing the principle events of the battle,
the Governor says:
"Nearly ten years have now passed by
since the battle of Gettysburg, aid with
many, Gettysburg seems to be an enigma.
They seem to be unwilling to accept Lees
sef-accusation. His overweeniDg conf
dence in Stuart, they fear, reflects too much
on his sagacity as General; and as Stuart
was pet in high feather with the army
and the country, thu story of his disregard
of Lees instructions by making q brill ant
dash and fruitless foray on Meade's rear,
instead OF being on his front and keeping
Lee informed, must be lost sight Of and for

THE Detroit Free Press thinks it was ex-
ceediDgly fortunate that the desperadoes
who stopped and robbed the rsilway train,
selected Iowa instead Of Tennessee, Alaba-
ma or some Southern State, or the cry of
s'Ku-Klux" would have again been heard in
the land and the administration would have
found a new excuse for interfering with the
State governments. Quite likely.
