incidence, all three Of these able efforts were by
young gentlemen from our Judicial Circuit the
essay ON ''King Lear by Mr. Eugene F. waihen,
of Leonardtown, student Of The College; the
Grafton on the influence Of the tsFeudal System

and the lecture on Modem Forms Of Patriot

THE HAPPY FAMiLY.-Our neighbor,
the Nd. Independent, is evidently not
pleased with the way the republican
machine is run in this State and feels
himself justified in raising the standard
of revolt against its chief fusleman,
John l.. Thomas, because be believes
hlm TO be corrupt and incompetent to
manage the party, and he opposes the
State Central Committee because 1t does
not represent the Republicans of the
State, is incompetent to discharge the
trust in ITS hands, and rs the plant tool

Races.
The turf loving sportsmen Of our section en-
loved themselves on Saturday evening last in the
way of several scrub races on the straight road
leading north frum the village. The first race
was between 10. Henry's bay horse and Cotton
RusseIrs bay mase, which resulted in an easy
victory for the latter The second was a match
between 10. Henry's bay and JarbOs's grey. The
erss heat was decided tie and the second ives won
By the grey. A great amount Of money changed
hands on this race, one party losing as high as
70 cents. Several other races, not on the pro-
gramme, also came or. Fine racing may beck
pecsed next Saturday as Little NelI'' Is under
going thorough training, and We understand
that several foreign horses win be on hand.

WEBSTER AND PINKNEY.-Under the
title of"Webster and Pinkney," Bish-
op Pinkney, Of Maryland, has published
a pamphlet 10 vindicate his uncle, the
celebrated William Pinkney, from the
asperson cast upon his courage by the
late Peter Harvey, in bis book entitled
"Reminiscences of Daniel Webster at the
bar" Mr.. Harvey reports that Mr.. Web
ster told him that he had on one occasion
"locked Mr.. Pinkney up in one ofthe
grandjury rooms ofthe Capitol and extor-
ed from him. as he stoodtremblInglike an
aspen leaf, an humble apology, which
was repeated the next day in open
court"
Mr.. Webster did not remember what
the case was, but fixed the limit OF the
time in which il occurred by saying
that Mr.. Pinkney spoke of him as "the
gentleman from New Hampshire. -
Bishop Pinkney, in his argument to
show that no such incident could have
occurred, points out in the first place
that ''there are no grand jury rooms in
The Capitol, and never have BEEN"
and, in the next place, that the alleged
reference to ''the gentleman from New
Hampshire" establishes the fact that
the case in questIon-if not fictitious
must have come on for trial, according
10 Mr.. Webster's own statement some
where between the years 1913 and
1917, during which years Mr.. Webster
was member of Congress from New
Hampshire. II could not have occur
red later, as in 1877 he took up his per-
manent abode in Boston. Bishop Pink
ney shows from the record of the SUI
preme Court, that in all the time Mr..
Webster was a member OF Congress from
New Hampshire the incident relsted by
him could not have taken place, as
within those years he was counsel in
only three eases before the court, In
neither Of which was Mr.. Pinkney en-
gagged. Moreover, MIR. Pinkney went
abroad in 1916 and did not return until
1918. The FIRST case in which they
actually appeared together was after
Mr.. Pinkney's return from Europe, and
they were then on the same side. The
FIRST case in which they were opposed
10 each other was in 1921, and again in
the same year, and finally in 1922, and
ret Wheaton. who reported these ca
ses, and wrote the life Of William Pink
ney, although Northern man. ''makes
not the slightest allusion 10 any difficult
~, either insult offered or apology
ss.ade." Justice Story, who delivered
The opinion of the court in two of the
cases. is also as profoundly silent. mot
withstanding he did make mention of
an incident that occurred between
Pinkney aud Emmett in the argument
Of case in prize law" Bishop Pink
ney concludes that Mr.. Harvey must
have been in error. He does not i'm
pnte 20 him willful wrong, but Of COM
hitting BY some strange perversiOn of
memory can error that does the gros-
sest injustice to both Of thee disiin-
guished men"

The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1878-06-06

Our long cherished anticipaticns were
sweetened and the bright realization of our
golden dreams was Immediately before us
when we found ourselves on the north bound
train speeding our way to the General As
sembly of the G. T. Church convened at
Lebanon, Tenn, May 10Th, 1878. 1t was
soul-cheering and Misunderstanding to re-
ceive the warm, hearty hand-shakings OF
those who had been endeared to us by ten
derest associations those who sat and stood
together in the recitation and study rooms,
met each other IN debate, and sharpened and
frightened their blades for fierce conflicts
upon the great arena of life. Long and
fierce and hot has been the battle since some
of MS separated at the door of our dear old
Alma Mater; bright and glorious victories,
humiliaGng and heart-saddening defeats
have met us as we passed along the current
of years that brought us to the golden hour
of happy reunion blessed symbol of glo-
rious and perfect reunion in the General As
sembly and Church Of the first born in
Heaven.
On account of engagements in orr home
work we did not arrive at Lebanon in time
to hear the opening sermon by DR.. Miller, or
to witness the dedication of Caruthers Hall.
The exercises on the latter occasion were
said to have been exceedingly inter esting
Rev. j. ID. kirkpatrick, Capt. a. B. Martin
Col. E. l. Golladay and DR.. A. J. Baird de-
livered addresses replete with good sense,
wit and eloquence.
Rev. d. E. Bushnell of California was the
moderator. He presided with great dignity
and remarkable efficiency. The Assembly
was the largest in the history of the Church
and the largest perhaps that will assemble
again for years to come. Besides the 200
delegates there was a very large number of
visitors. Lebanon, celebrated for its hospi-
tally, threw wide its doors, opened its warm
hearts and welcomed the Assembly and visi
tors to its hospitable homes and bounteous
nrir flax l. IL 81 A.. l.
was in session the Murphy movement was
carried forward with great zoal. Rev. j. B.
Self Of Kentucky seemed to be the leading
spirit in this movement, The Assembly

The announcement this morning

o'clock Friday night he was no
more. Mr.. Brown attended the
Federal decoration ceremonies Fri
day, and became overheated. On
his return TO the city he went to
the Riddleburger restaurant for a
cup of tea. He complained of feel
ing badly at the time and soon af-
terward became so much worse
that his brother-in-law, DIR. Nichol,
was sent for. He was then removed
to DIR. Nichols residence, and re-
manned unconscious until his death,
which occurred at about half-past II
o'clock that night. The deceased
was son of the venerable eX-Gov.
Neil $. Brown, and one of the most
promising of the younger members
Of our bar. AT the time of his
death he wac candidate for the
office of Attorney General for Da-
wilson and Rutherford Counties
