THE REASON

was this-during that doubtful period it
was currently reported that the republic
cans, who had possession of the plates
from which the bonds were printed, were
using them to issue duplicate bonds, and
forging them, and 1t was with q view
to ascertain if that was q fact. AS to the
declaration that this bugaboo about the
Treasury being flooded with coupons
presented for taxes is without tOrcc'
it was rue ut that time because the
holders of them knew that they would
not be received if presented as we pro-
posed to investigate the debt question
before recognizing any bond. l thought
they would be willing to wait as time
has proved that they were. But now the
coupons are coming in, and the largest
taxpayers in Charleston have presented
them to the Treasury, and they are lying
there; and these rich men have not paid
one dollar Of taxes during the last fiscal
year. Why don't we make them pay?
Echo answers ''why?"
! had the honor to he appointed, by the
Democratic Caucus, on Committee OF
ten to devise some place for the
SETTLEMENT OF THIS VEXED QUESTION,
and thus preserve the unity of the party
in the approaching canvass, and secure
Gov. Halnpton's full and hearty con-
cllrrcnce. That Committee after repeated
meetings agreed upon Il plan of settle
ment which vas supported by the caucus
to-day with II dissenting voice. Thus
the question is settled, SO far as the
Legislature is concerned, and will ulti-
matcly be adj udicated by the Courts, as it
would have been in the event Of the
adoption of the report OF tho Commits
sion. This is a fortunate settlement, as
relieves tie State of any apparent re-
pudiation ana keeps tho question out of
the coming canvass. So that the demo-
party will have plain sailing, and
with Il solid front, the independents

another splendid victory. The leading

Tramp Legislation.

An effort is to be made in New York.
as well as in Maryland and some other
States, to suppress the tramp evil. A
bill for that purpose has been intro
duced in the New York Assembly by a
Mr.. Robertson. IT provides for the ap-
pointment of State Superintendent of
County Warehouses. It makes it the
duty of the Superintendent (who is to
be subordinate to the State Board of
Charities) to rent buildings in the sew
eral counties, such as may be required
for the confinement and employment of
Migrants. 1t makes him the Judge Of
the kinds of employment to which they
shall be put, and directs him to regard
the interests of the Migrants in respect
to morals, and the requirement of hab-
its OF industry. When any workhouse
is ready for the reception of guests it is
his duty to notify the various magis-
trates of the judicial department within
which the workhouse is situated of the
fact, and to furnish them with blank
forms for the commitment of tramps. It
requires themagistrates to sentence per-
sons convicted of vagrancy under exist
ing or future laws to labor in the work
house for not more than three nor less
than six monthsfor the first offense; for
not less than six nor more than twelve
months for the second, and for an in
definite time for the third or any subse-
quent offense. Further, the bill pro-
vides that the vagrant shall be allowed
fair compensation for his work at the
expiration of his term. And, still fur
ther, it provides that, in order to avoid
needless competition with "honest Ia
Dor, " the Migrants shall not be hired out
to private employers, but shall be set at
some kind of public work.

The McGarrahan Claim Renewed in
Congress-.

From the time when the memory of
man runneth not to the contrary, says
a Washington correspondent, Billy Nc
Garrahan, the famous claimant to the
New Idria quicksilver mine of Califor-
MIA, has walked the streets of Washing
ton and haunted the Hobbies and ante
chambers of Government officials. He
is genial-faced Irishman, who in his
long years of fighting has never lost his
cheerfulness or sanguine hope of get
ting share of the millions that he al
leges have been swindled away from him.
The dispute involved is one of title, and
has occupied lawyers and courts after the
interminable fashion of an English
chancery case. McGarrahan long ago
passed into the hands of the Jews. He
has been farmed out as a stock article,
and ambitious spectators have advanced
handsome sums upon McGarrahan's
shares, until McGarrahan has become
a regular quoted stock in private specu-
lative circles. Recently this stock had
great tumble by a decision of the Su-
preme Court against McGarrahan's
claims. Every one thought that was the
last Of McGarrahan, but he comes up
smiling after his knock down. and dis
closes another mode of attack upon the
New Idria millions. This is a flank
movement in Congress. The matter
turns up in the shape of bill, intro
duced in the House by Representative by
Luttrell, of California, looking to re-
adjudication of McGarrahan's claims
by Congressional declaration upon the
subject.

Then sudden rush-a scream from the
wretched Martha imprecations loud
and bitter-a shot another scream
" May God grant no lives will be lost!''
we prayed.
Poor Mary nearly tainted. At last we
heard the officer call Henry to come
down. The four men were well secured
and taken to the police station. Martha
was taken there too. She confessed she
had let them in for the purpose of steal
ing the silver. One Of the robbers was
slightly wounded in the arm, but no one
else was hurt. Very thankful was
when I found, next day, that none were
the worse for having gone through such
a terrible scene.
The house where Martha's husband
lodged was searched, and the case of
diamonds and many other valuable ar
tlcles found there. This immensely re-
spectacle gardener had been a disgrace
to his family and his profession. Left
very much to himself through the in
diligence of his employer, he had con-
tracted habits of tipping with low assoc
ciates at the neighboring village, and
become so completely demoralized as at
length to assume the degraded character
of burglar. Now came the retribution
which attends on wrong-doing. The
thieves were all tried at the next assizes,
and sentenced to various terms of i'm
prisonment.
1t is now many years since all this hap
pened; but I can never forget what I
went through those two dreadful nights;
though I remember with thankfulness
that, through my dream and the warning
voice I heard, I was the means of avert
ing great wrong, and perhaps muir
der. I do not impute anything super
natural to my dream. 1t may have
merely been the result of tension of
feelings, supported by some coinciden-
ces. At all events, the results were such
as I have described.
