1t affords me much pleasure to recommend

worthy OF patronage. Our Church>melodeon

use it. Dir. holland repaired it so thoroughly
that it gives entire satisfaction.
My sewing>machinc, also, from long use

never ran better than since he fixed it.

The New Orleans Democrat. (New Orleans, La.) 1875-1876, 1876-05-20

Tended Prestidge and threatened to in
lure him in his business by driving him
out OF the concern. His disposition,
that Of brave, chivalrous man, but
reckless when in anger, was well known
to Hardeman, who had been his class
mate and the companion Of his youth.
Knowing this, and the fact that Harde-
armed, as is evidenced by the former
saying to the latter, ~ am not afraid OF
your pistol" the fact also that Harde-
man advanced defiantly towards him
while making the remark, all these cir
cumstances, counsel contended, were
more than sufficient to create fear In the
mind Of the accused for his personal
safety. He further went on to illustrate
the recklessness and daring OF Harde-
man, as he called it, by relating how he
had thrown the tumblers at Prestidge's
head after the first fire, how he had gone
around into the other room to a desk, a
distance OF sixty feet, and got the
lignum vitae rule and returned to
break it over Prestidge's head. Here
again counsel extended his remarks on
the animus OF Hardeman, contended
that Prestidge was justified in fearing
bodily injury from the beginning Then
Mr.. New went on to say that when the
fight occurred, it being between and
u o'clock In the evening. the room
was dark, and that the bringing up OF
his hands to the arm holes OF his vest by
Hardeman, as stated by Black, might
naturally have been misconstrued by
Prestidge, owing to the darkness and
the popularity Of the situation. Major
New again referred to the want Of evil
dence to show that the shot that killed
Hardeman was the first shot, and after
reviewing the testimony and the circum-
stances maintained that the shot that
struck him was the second, or ut time
when, beyond question, he was acting
in self-defense,
Major News argument lasted over two
hours also, and until the courtadjourned
until this morning at ten O'Clock.
The court room was again packee this
morning by lawyers, merchants and
people Of all classes, to hear the argu-
ments in this case.
At half-past 10 O'Clock, Fl. {. Castel-
Ianos, Esq, began his argument for the
defense. Mr.. Castellanos opened by cit
evidence, and the rights Of the
accused to the benefits Of rea-
sonable doubt. Then followed a
discourse on the intense hostility Of
Hardeman against Prestidge, which
counsel seemed to doubt could arise
from simple direiction Of duty, as al
legged, on the part Of Prestidge; the
anmus which moved Hardeman to
write the letter asking for a meeting
that evening, when the meeting could
have taken place the next day Sunday
Just as well and under better circum
stances.
Mr. Castellanos' argument was going
on when this report closed

NATIONAL HONOR.

What has Sir Edward Thornton done
"to you?" said friend to us yesterday,
"that you wish to have him furnished
with passports?" Nothing in the
" world" was the response, "but here he
is the embodiment of the British Gov
eminent, which has just insulted the
" United States by fatty refusing to obey
1.-the stipulations of an important treaty.
" 1t is treaty which has been conformed
"to by both parties for upward of thirty
years. Now, Great Britain, with three
I" of our notorious criminals in her hands,
"the surrender of whom we have de-
manded under the conditions of the
treaty, refuses to obey the compact un-
" less we practically modify the treaty by
"giving guarantees that we will do what
I'VE have always hitherto done without
ANY such guarantees. This we hold to
be an attempt to exact from US condi-
tions which would practically amount to
"a new compact under a menace that is
unfriendly. 1t is conduct both un-
" worthy of Great Britain and unfriendly
"to US. In the case of Winslow, the
guarantees demanded are such as we
" cannot well give if we desired to give
them. His offense was committed
L" against the law of State, and he is
amensble to a State court, in the
"rules and practice of which the United
States Government may not interfere.
