Mr.. Hood on the Bond Question,

the bond question. We print it without

Mr.. Hood fought a good fight for the side

seeing that the settlement of the public

Hon. W. X. BRADLEY:
Dear .NujOT-I was much surprised
this morning, to sec in the Press and

You will remember last Saturday just
before l left Columbia, you stated to me,
that YOU would enclose the cOmmunica-
ton 10 ME by Mondays mail-with the
request that / would see to its publica-
ton.
During the day Monday and before the
arrival Of the liluil, l made it my bust
ness to sec Mr.. Wilson, of the Press and
Banner, and informed him that your re-
ply to his attack upon You in his last issue
would be here by that days mail, and re-
qucstcd him TO reserve space for it i'll his
issue of this week. He gladly consented.
l also mentioned to Mr.. Hcmphill, of the
Medium, that l thought it due to you that
your reply should receive rs wide a pub
LEGATION as possible, and asked him if he
too would publish it. He readily con.
scented. When the mail vas opened and

ly the next morning. The result was,
handed it to him, and hence the Press ana
Banner says it was received from the Ne
diUm office.
Now as to its being anonymous; I have
no doubt your nam would have been
signed to it, but for the fact of your en-
closing it to me to superintend its publ
cation. l did not read the manuscript,
and did not know it was not signed until
late in the day yesterday, and when 1 tel
YOU how I found out that it was not, you
will doubtless be prepared to join me in
my surprise ut seeing the editorial in the
Press and Tanner to-day. Mr.. Wilson
himself came to Inc with the last page Of
the script, stating to me that 1t was
not signed. l replied, Oh, well II after
my notifying you before hand that tho
communication from Major Bradley was
to come to my care, you still require Q
signature, l will step over to your .Qflct
and sign Major Bradlcy's naln To thl:
he replied that I need not trouble mysclt
if l would authorize him to do so. l re-
piled certainly, and left him. Judgethcl
of my surprise at seeing the editorial this
morning. Ifaltcr all that passed between
Mr.. Wilson and myself, the Press anc
Banner can style your communication
anonymous, with a Wow no doubt TO i'm
pair It's force, 1 confess it looks to me rs
if it was about ready to throw up the
sponge. This I feel called upon to write
in my own vindication, lest you should
think l have been remiss i'll performing
the trust you had coniided TO me. l can
not close without congratulating you sin
ce:ely upon Inconsistent, able and dig
nilicd defense which you have made.
Very truly, your friend.

Nincty-Sir Guardian.

It gives us great pleasure to know that this
honOred citizen is ut his post agnin. His in
disposition proved to be slight. We desire to
rcul1irm our conviction that South Carolina
has no son more worthy Of Il place Oh the
hals the most important work before the
Lcgislaturc-the choice OF this commission.
1t Will require careful, exact and painstaking
labor, grounded upon Il thorough acquain-
tancc with the legislation and laws. Such
work demands a combination of qualities not
seldom found. These meet in an unu-
snal degree in Mr.. Perrin, and w commend
to our lawmakers to lose sight Of localities
and prcjudiccs and NIL these Important places
with gentlemen whose large und exact know
ledge of the law combine with honest fidelity
to duty and ability To labor.

THE BOND DEBT QUESTION.
Mr.. Hood Discusses the Question
which has been left to q Court OF

Mr.. HOOD discusses the SuesIAoh
which has been left to q Court Of
Adjudication.
The third section of tho' resolutions I
! had the honor to introduce, on behalf OF
the Bond Commission, proposed to reject
s.. l35 oupon cut from Relief OF Treasu-
nv Bonds and consolidated under The Act
Of 1873, as invalid vouchers.
In my speech on the subject, l tried 10
demonstrate, as did Others of the Com
mission, that these coupons were cXclu-
dcd bv the Act of 1873 from consolldu-
ton; and, therefore, the bonds that rest
| on them are.disabled to the per cent that
these coupons entered into tho whole OF
the cid Bonds surrendered per consollda-
ton.
By the Act of II February, 1869, the
Bonds for Relief Of Treasury were u.s.
sued.
The amount printed was""."... Sl.0O0.ooV
The amount cancelled without
having been used was."".".." lol.ooo

1856. 600
If O will examine the Consolidation
| Act (IS73) YOU will see that these Bonds
(SS5G. OOO) and their coupons arc all OF the
Relief of Treasury Bonds recognized ny
said Act.
The SlOl. 900 mentioned above as can
celled, are in the Treasury Vault; but
each one Of them has lost five coupons,
to wit the lst, I'd, Sd, 4th and 9Th, each
for $50, making Sl76.75. AS @.l33 are
found in the consolidation vouchers, the

ours. Tie SlOl. 600 never issued, II from
which these coupons are taken, are ~ to
SlS, $50 to S27, $50 to S6, 9o3 to 9oo.
| Coupons always have on them in large
conspicuous figures, the No. of the bond
from which they are taken, or to when
they belong. Hence, there is no mistake
in this matter. Moreover, these coupons,
or ut least q part of them, are 1ound
amongst the owens coupons. II no
other disqualification attached to them,
they arc in very bad company. 80,
How can any man desire to pay III JUL
the Consolidation bonds n which these
coupons have entered? Did any one pro-
pose to destroy the act of 1863, by laying
Them under disability? The other vouch-
ers not sustained by the commission are
lust rs assnilublc; but l use these because
the proof is silnple---thcre are some Oh the
| other classes in the report.
There is no violation of contract, no re-
pudiation, no breaking Of the act of 1873,
in eliminating this per cent. from the out
standing "Consols." II the present ow-
ners were to appeal to me on the grounds
that they bought them without knowing
at the time that they were tainted, | con-
fcss that my sympathy might be moved,
but it cannot affect my Judgment. l
! would not like to advocate it us a duty that
our people who had no power to prevent
the OWL, shall now indemnify others for
errors in blindly trading III suspicious
paper.

A Duel on Horseback.
From San Francisco p,,,.,,,

Officer Baker brings further information
OF the terrible tragedy which occurred
at Iahachipc, last night. There was an
ora gIudgc between Glenn and Estrada
II IS said that some time ago Glepn's wife
ran away with Estrada's brother. and hi,
tended to create bud blood between t,e
two which was made worse by business
complications. A few days ago tho two
men had words and when they parted.
Glenn said''l will meet you and settle
thls'' Last evening Estrada rode by
Glenn's house, when the latter mounted
his horse and followed. Riding M beside
the Mexican, Glenn grabbed him by the
the throat, Both held their pistols in their
hand, and both fired. Glenn's weapon
sent two bullets crushing through his an
tagonist's breast, and asEstrada's bullets
penetrated Glenn's throat and temple.
All the shots were fired at such close
range that the flesh was burned The two
men W. re found upon the ground, locked
in deadly embrace, and weltering in their
blood. Estrada's head was pulled under
'Glenn's left arm, while the fingers clutched
the hair with the desperation of death.
