Mr.. Davidson called attention to the

Record. though not delivered and pro-
noWccd some of its statements wholly

At the expiration of the morning

ment providing that gold and silver

substitute and quoted in favor
of his argument from the writings
and spcechs of Hamilton, Jefferson and
Webster. He spoke of the dcmonetlza-
ton of silver as Il "iclOnious act on the
part of the monicd classes, and argued
that Congress had no right 10 pass that
legislation. He asserted that not only
was President Grant not aware AZ the
time of his signing the bill which de-
mOnctiZed silver. of the effect of that
act. but two years subsequently neither
the President nor his Cabinet were
aware of H. This was proved by the
special message of the 18th OF January,
1879. in which the President spoke OF
the time il would take 10 coin silver
necessary for the resumption of specie
PAYMENTS. At the time of the demune-
tization of silver, that act, he said
affected the country very little, but
when specie payment was resumed,
then its effect was felt, Tor metallic valu-
ton was reduced from Sl,OOO,OOO,OOO TO

Mr.. Fort reminded Mr.. Warner that
the ground had all been travelled over,
and that silver had been remenetized
two years ago.
Mr.. Warner replied that the Bland
bill. while remonetizing silver, did not
re-eStablish the bimetalic standard, and
it was for that he was contending. The
legal tender paper currency was as much
money Us if it were gold or silver coin.

Exhaustive Review of the Busi-
ness of the Weck-A General
Impression That the Bottom
has Been Reached.

The past week has been a more profit
able one for the banks than for some
time past, there being a steady and
good demand for mOney-more partlcu-
larlv. however, by operators on Change,
whose wants for the needlul, in view OF
settlement day, were large and numer-
GUS; but the supply Of loanable funds
being liberal, our discount houses made
no change in rates, and took all the
offerings of paper grading good and bet.
ter at 7CrS per cent per annum on call,
and in special cases rates were l9wer;
but borrowers Of small amounts, and
others who are constant applicants for
iavors. were Char5ed 9@lO per cent.
Government bonds have been in active
request, and generally speaking, firm.
The trade of the city has been good
for the season, but not ~ large as two
weeks ago. Deposits, however, have
been good, and as regards collections,
very few complaints have been made.
Eastern exchange has been in more
liberal supply, and rates between banks
have been at a discount, while even the
coulter stcadincss has prevailed, Gus
toners being charged One-tenth OF one
per cent premium. The Clearings of the
Chicago banks during the present week
amounted to so, AS, ,6279l, an increase
of Sll. III ,6S9.3 30 over the corresponding
week Of last year. The main reason for
this increase is on account Of the large
amount of grain and hog products
which changed hands on the first OF the
month. Currency has been going 10 the
Co.. 80
which flowed into the city nearly
cquallcd the outflow.
The arrivals OF lumber by lake have
been large and the market is rather dull.
Prices. i'm view OF BUYERS and sellers be-
inc apart, have been irregular, and, as
consequence, a very small proportion OF
the sales have been made public. The
feeling, however, is getting better, and
the general impression is that the bottom
has been reached. In the yards dealers
have been busy.
The visible supply OF grain in the
States and Canada on the 26th ult was
SO. 7O2 900 bushels, against 22,7O6,OOO
bushels on the 9th Of April, 1873. The
stock OF hog products in this city on the
lst inst. included l75, ,09j barrels OF mess
pork, and l93, ,264 tlcrces OF lard.
The grain markets during the major
part Of the week ruled firm, owing to
dry weather, but with rain they began
weakening. During the week the re-
ceipts and shipments OF the articles
named add up-Receipts -four, 1851
barrels; grain, 2,4l9,5lG bushels; hogs,
SG.9l7 head. Shipments: -four, 1899
barrels; grain, 2,SlO,477 bushels; pork,
1885 barrels; lard, 5,4S7462; cut meats,
7933,37l pounds.
Rail freights to the scaboard have
been steady, on the basis Of 20 cents per
100 pounds on grain and - cents per
100 pounds on provisions to New York.
Lake freights, however, have been at a
dead lock, and carriers demanded /
cents for corn 10 Buffalo, which shippers
would not pay.

THE POCASSETT HORROR.
FREEMAN AND HIS WIFE ARRESTED,
Funeral Of the Victim-FanataCism Of
the Second Adventists-Indgna-
ton of the People.

PoCASsET, Mass, May 3.-Freeman,
who made sacrifice OF his child in ODE
dicnce to revelation, has been arrested
with his wife. On their way to the prison
both loudly proclaimed that the death
OF the child was in obedience to the
Divine mandate.
BosroN, May 3.-Freeman, the Adj
vcntist, OF Pocasset, who murdered his
tiye-vcar old child on Thursday, was ar
raigned at Barnstable to-day, with his
wife, who is held as an accessory. Both
insist that God will fully justify their
action and relieve them from all human
penalties. \ number oil Adventist
neighbors sustain Freeman in his course,
many Of them being well-tO-dO farmers.
Some OF those present at the meeting at
Freeman's house on the day OF the muir
der will also be held rs accessories.
Funeral oil the Victim.
BosroN, MAY 1.-The funeral OF Edith
Freeman, the victim OF her fathers fan
ataCism, took place in the NJ. +. Church
i'm POcaSSet this afternoon. The body
was brought 10 the church in a small
casket bv Allen Z. Davis, Il Sympathizer
with Freeman in his deed, and one OF
the latters chief abettorS, who, after de-
posting the caSket and contents near
the altar. announced his intention OF
addressing the audience, but was pre-
vented from doing so by threats OF ar
rest. The Adventists, who in their
blind superstition fully believed that
the dead child would be resurrected or
else bodily translated to heaven, are
deeply mortified that their prOphesies
should result in so apparent a non-iul-
tillment. -
After the funeral service in the church
the body was removed to the village
cemetery near by, and deposited in a
grave. Davis, Adventist fanatic, mount
ed the tombstone and began his address
to the crowd assembled, attempting TO
prove that Freeman was justified by
God in killing his child, but was pre-
vented by the crowd, who compelled
him 10 desist. The casket was then
covered with earth, the Adventist hav-
inc threatened 10 remove the body and
throw it into the water near by; that the
climax To the sacrifice may not be inter
icred with. The SheriHs officers have
guarded the grave and will remain on
watch until morning.

CoN's Account OF 1t.

ATLANTA, May Sin the trial of Cox
to-day for the murder Of Colonel Aston,
Cox himself was on the stand. He said:
Alter the war some years | settled in
Dekalb county, near 10 Aston; bought
his farm there ON AlstOn's account, and
from that date they became friends. In
1876 Senator Gordon was embarrassed
and interested the defendant in a con-
vict lease, he TO have half OF the profits.
Aston drew the contracts. tie took
Aston aS a silent partner, he TO give
Aston half of all nc made out of any
business, and Aston 10 divide with him
all he rAlstonl made out OF the Office as
assistant keeper of the peniteutiary,
law practice or otherwise. The first
year his profits on the hire of cOnviCts
was 500; gave Aston hall. Aston got
embarrassed, and defendant gave him
money % 20 10 Washington City 10 col
lgct u claim, which he got, and got a
$1,000 fee, Alison refused a division,
and said he wanted no more 20 do with
the convict business. When the Cor.
don interest was placed in AlstOn's
hands, the defendant wanted 10 sell
also. Walters wanted to buy. The de-
fendant asked 3 900 for his interest, as
Aston had told him that he would hold
him for iurty-fOur bales of cotton for the
years rental Walters refused 10 buy
at the price, and rs IN iudUcement to
the defendant TO sell 10 Walters for
81 500, Aston agreed to release the de-
iend8nt from the paymentOf the cotton.
At the barbershop, Aston told the de
iCudant, You have made good thing
out of this, the 500 Zee agreed upon
Tor making the sale was not enough for
him. lie said he had saved COX's cotton,
and Cox ought 10 give him half or 22
bales. Defendant replied that all his
property was under mortgage and this
would take the bread from his wife and
children. Aston threatened 70 stop the
trade. Defendant threatened To expose
the convict business, the parties 10 1t,
and all OF AlStOn'S actions about II, IN
the Legislature. Aston said hc would
Kill defendant il he did, and called him
a liar. Defendant threatened 10 knock
him down. AlstOn told defendant to
arm himself and meet him at some
place and fight il out; did arm and re-
turn at the time fixed, sent word 10
Aston and read AlstOu's message;
went then TO the capitol 20 make
Aston agree % settle up the business
relations finally, not for the purpose of
lighting Aston. The latter met him
and they hal a talk. Aston proposed
to fight. Defendant said he would
board the next train with him, and Al
stOu said. "Do YOU want % shoot 1t
out?' lie replied that any way would
suit him. Aston said, "Do YOU want
to shoot now2n and rose. Defendant
was at the door with the view OF leay-
iu., Aston drew his pistol and he
drew his. Aston fired twice and struck
him i'm the mouth, which shot knocked
him 20 the floor. Aston shot him in
the hand; he was dazed by the shock,
his head buzzed and he could not hear
the shots. As soon aS ne could he rose
and fired at the largest bulk Of Aston
he could see through the smoke; saw
Aston sink down; only shot Aston in
sell defense; was his best friend and did
not want % kill him.
