The indianapolis Journal. one of the
strongest newspapers, sounds the note
of rctrcnchment after this sensible fash
ion: "The thing for congress TO 10
is TO pass a mandatory bill requiring
the discharge of one third of the clerks
and employees in every department and
bureau OF the government. and letting
officials make their own selection as TO
who should he weedcd out and vile
retained. No request of congress, no
resolution. nor any action short OF a
percmptory bill requiring the imme-
date discharge of one third of the clcr-
ical force in every department, will
meet the case Let that be done, and
followed up 10y like reirenchment in
other directions, and there will be no
need OF increasing the taxes.

The Bankrupt Law.

II seems reasonably certain now that
the bankrupt law will not be repealed.
The numerous protests which have
been sent to congress from every con-
siderable city in the country against
the inconsiderate action of the house
have demonstrated that the CONNER
cial community are by no means so
largely in favor of the repeal as was
supposed. The question Of amending
the law is therefore the prominent one

estate OF DADE."
A Humorous Lawsuit and an Impor.
liant Decision.

1
What turns out to have been a very lu-
dicrous claim was holly contested, for two
or three years, in the Superior Court OF
Dade county, Ca, county which lies ad-
.jacent to Tennessee at Chattanooga, and
commonly known as the Estate of Dade.
1t was an action for the recovery of his
fathers land by one VIM. Janney, who
claimed that his father had bequeathed it to
him, some years before, by nuncupative
will. The following were the allegations
| of the claimant, reduced TO plain English
by the defense, and read in court at the last
session, TO the uncomfortable meTiment of
tire bar and spectators:
/. That Fleming Janney willed his
property, during his. natural lifetime, to his
son William.
?. That in making said will, said. Flem-
ing Janney contracted to die.
3. That the said Fleming Janney has
failed to die according to contract, and on
that account has committed fraud.
4. That it was his duty to have died
many years since, at the time he made the
will.
5. That from these facts this court is
asked to consider him dead.
Z. That if the court considers the said
Fleming Janney dead, then it will also
consider his estate satisfactorily admins
tered upon.
Z. That if the court considers that the
said Fleming Janney has not committed
fraud in his failure to die, according to con-
tract, and does not declare him dead, but
that he still lives, and has legal right not
only to live but TO marry wife. then it is
feared that it would be an insult to this
court and jury to ask them to steal the land
from the said Fleming Janney, and give it
to his son. William Janney.
The suit was decided against the claim
ant, VIM. Janney, whose expressed pur-
pose now is to carry it up to the Supreme
Court.

Gone Un for Three Years.

Last February a negro by the name of
Jack Cartwright claimed of Maj. La Motto,
the United States Discussing officer at this
point, the bounty money due a colored man
by the name of Charles Millhouse, repre-
senting himself to be Millhouse. Mai. La
Mott questioned him closely, as his sus-
picions were aroused by the negros man.
ner and told him to come back next day
with two witnesses who would swear to his
identity. When the three appeared the
next day, the two witnesses were cautioned
as to the responsibility of an oath, and then
swore positively that the claimant was the
person he represented himself to be. The
entire party was then arrested, the Major
having become convinced the day previous
that Cartwright was a fraud.
The case was tried in the Federal Court
this week, when Cartwright was sentenced
to three years in the penitentiary. His
two witnesses will be tried at the October
term.

New York within a few weeks, for the
purpose of entering upon a course Of
thorough musical training.

EDGEFIELD ITEMS.

The festival at McClure's Hall, for the
benefit Of the Parsonage Fund Of the Tulip
Street Methodist Church, closed last night,
with profit of about $3.50. So much for
the energy and zeal of the ladies who have
had the festival in charge.
About p. NJ. yesterday the residence of
Mr.. Joe Jones, in North Edgefeld, was dis
covered to be on fire. The family, with
the aid of few friends, succeeded in saving
most Of the furniture; but the house, one
story frame, was totally destroyed. 1t was
a neg house and had been insured by Mr.
Jones but ten days ago in the State Insur-
ance Company for $1,000. The cause of
the fire is said to have been a defective
fiue.
The Aldermanic Board met last Monday
night and Immediately adjourned over to
the next regular meeting. for the want of
something to DO. Our reporter was disap-
pointed, as he expected to hear from the
'.gas" committee.
Work has been suspended on the sewer
near Sutherland & Co.'S mill. The frogs
were too many for the corporation force, as
they drank the water up before the sewer
was completed.
The disappearance of the water near the
Edgefeld House has had the effect OF
stopping the nightly croak Of the legiOnS of
frogs that infested that locality 70: weeks
past.
Every minister in the city in charge of
flock, either has a parsonage residence, or
is having one built for him.
