RICHMOND, July 8.-The long
contested case known as the
=" George Case," which has been in
litigation here since 1869, termi-
mated to-day by compromise, and
decree in Chancery Court. The
controversy related to the title to
the property of VIM. 0. George,
wealthy citizen of Richmond, who
died intestate in 1869, leaving a
brother, sister, nephews and nieces.
The estate was claimed by mu-
latto named Lee George, of Phila>
delphia, on behalf of his mother,
sister and himself, all of whom had
been slaves of VIM. 0. George be>
fore the war. The ground Of the
claim was the alleged marriage Of
the latter shortly before his death
to Lee Georges mother. After
three trials without result the
court, in its discretion, set aside
the issue and has now decided
the case without the jury holding
that there was no marriage, and
that the Richmond claimants are
the legal heirs, but decreeing, with
the latters' consent, that the Phila-
delphia claimants shall receive one
quarter Of the net proceeds of the
estate.

THAT RTER RIOT.
A Card from Mr.. Christian, Reported

CARTER FURNACE, Tenn,

CARTER FURNACE. Tenn.
July Z, 1879.
Mr.. EDITOR: l notice in the East
Tennesseean an extract clipped from
the DAILY CHRONICLE Of the End
inst, stating that l had been killed in
a riot which occurred here on the
| 2Sth ult What the article in the
CHRONICLE was l do not know, ,fbut
the extract in the Tennesseedn leaves
the public to infer that [ was party
in the shameful difficulty. Now, in
order to disabuse the public mind, 1
request that you give publicity 10 the
| facts.
alt is said the origin of the affray was
that one of the parties whipped his
wife, and her brother attempted to
chastise him for it, and the riot at
once assumed conside rable proportions;
but it is my belief, aud it will be until
otherwise proven, that the difficulty
had its origin in the too free use of
pop-skull, tangle foot or something of
that kind.
The parties engaged were R. c.
Buckles, Andrew Buckles and Will
liam Buckles on the one side, and
David Robinson, William Hinkle and
George Hinkle Oh the other. What
part each one of these combatants
acted in the fight [ shall not attempt
| to say. Suffice it 10 say that deadly
missiles of all kinds thai came 10 their
hands were used freely by the COM
batants. Such things as rocks, steel
bars, stone hammers, sledges aud
shovels were the favOrite weapons Of
the belligerents All the parties were
more or less bruised aud bleeding, but
fortunately no one was dangerously
hurt, except George Hlnkle, who re-
ceived a blow near the crown OF
the head, which came near prov
ing fatal, and it may do SO yet,
He was struck with snO7el, the cor
ner of which went through the skull,
cutting dash about two inches long
and one and half inches deep. Ply
sicans were sent for, aud the wounded
man attended to, and at the present
writing, he is doing as well as could be
expected. But | have digressed from
| the ODJ6CG Vi my "TltlDS' L hLcW
nothing of the affAir until the parties
were all engaged, and | was in no way
concerned in the affray, more than my
personal efforts, wi h the assistance OF
others, to quell the riOI, which we
finally succeeded in doing, at the risk
of our own personal safety.
The whole affair was sham 9ful aud
disgraceful to any Immunity, but be
it said for this community that the cit
liens generally disappr0ve OF such
conduct, this being the tirst ditticuity
of any consequences that has occurred
here for several years indeed, Carter's
Furnace was bee Dming prDVeroial for
the peacefu1ness and quiet OF its citi-
zens, and this disgracetul affray is de-
plored by all good, law abiding citi-
Zens.
Trusting that we may have no more
such demonstrations in this c6m-
munity by those who get theii bad
blood heated above fever heat,
I remain, yours truly,

FOREIGN NEWS.

LONDON, July 8.-The scene in
the House of Commons last night
has caused much sensation. A
section Of the Liberals have already
obtained from the Government
great restrictions ON the practice of
fogging in the army and navy.
Despite this they have endeavored,
by distractions, to force the total
abolition of corporal punishment
in the service. Marquis Harting-
ton repudiated all responsibility for
their action. Mr. Chamberlain,

LONDON, July 9,-In the House
of Commons last night, motion of
Mr.. Sampson Samuel Lloyd (Con>
servatiye), Chairman of the Asso-
ciated Chambers of Commerce
of the United Kingdom, in
favor of the establishment of a
Department of Agriculture and
Commerce, under the Special Cabi-
net Minister, was, despite some
objections by the Government,
adopted by vote of 76 to Sc.
In the House of Lords last nj ght,
the Government Irish University
bill introduced by Lord Chancellor
Lord Cairas, on the 30th of June,
was read the second time.
The debate tended to show that
the Government may hereafter con-
sent to additions to the bill tending
to satisfy the claims of the Irish
Catholics in regard to endowments.
Thus Lord Cairns while still op-
posing direct endowment of de-
nominational institutions, pointed
out that the University of London
received some thousands yearly for
the purpose of rewarding those
who pass an examination which is
open to all corners. He said he
was quite sure if the Senate of the
proposed Irish University were
to come to Parliament and say that
in order to advance education ii
would be advisable to offer exhibi-
tions and rewards no objection
would be taken on denominational
grounds.
The Times considers that this is
a plain intimation to the Catholics
to get their University first and
ask for money afterwards. This
opens the prospect of a settlement
of the University question on the
lines of the intermediate education
act passed last year. Both par
ties seem agreed to the practica
bility and justice of such settle
ment. Further delay therefore
would be strange.
1t is discreditable that the revolt
in the House of Commons on Mon
day night of a small radical section
of Liberals, about thirty SIX in mum
Der, against the Marquis of Hart
ingtons s authority, as leader of the
Liberals, caused the counter demon
stration last night when the Mar.
quis of Harrington, on rising tc
support motion of government.
relative to a question of privilege
was received with loud and pro.
longed cheers from the Liberia
benches.

crate account of the grand railr~ ad
rally at Hendersonville. North Caro-
lima, on the 4th, and makes the follow
ing mention of speeches by some of
our Tennessee representatives:
Ex- GOVERNOR sENTER,
of Tennessee, delivert most forcible,
practical, and at the same time elo-
quent speech. In alluding to the i'm
portance of completing The road, he
said that he had come distance If
nearly 800 miles to reach place lit
tie more than 80 miles distant. We
want Tennessee and North CarOliLa a
united by bands Of iron ; We want 10
feel the grip OF the iron rails. Ten
nessee once belonged to North Caro-
lima. and we want you to take US back.
Then you tap the great North
the West. He stated that the
soldiers of both sec ions acted will !;
they bear no malice towards each
other. There are memories which we
would not forget. Scars can not be
eradicated the oak of the forest heals
its wounds by time. No agency is
better to bind us to the North west
than bands of steel. They will scatter
blessings over both sections.
At the close of ex Governor Sem
ter's address, of which the foregoing
is mere outline, for have not at
tempted to furnish you with more
than strand or two from the rich,
silken cords of oratory which the va
riOus speakers threw around the ad-
miring multitude,
JUDGE JOHN L. MOSES,
also of Tennessee. was introduced. He
smoke with great earnestness and in
the language Of the heart. From 1886
down to the present Time he has been
a strong advocate of uniting Charles
ton with the West. He proved con
clusively that the work can be accom-
plished if the people only exert them
selves. He dealt mainly in facts and
figures.
JUDGE H. II. INGERSOLL,
of Tennessee, said that the farmers
wanted to get their produce to the
coast-a dream to them for fifty wears
and they rejoice at the prospect OF
its realization. We want TO give YOU
cheap coal from our unexhaustible
mines. Our motto must be, Onward

CONCORD, July 9.
MR. EDITOR: They are still COM
ing in on every down train, and
among those who came yesterday we
noticed Mr.. Will. Pitner, who has
lately been elected to position in the
Bell House. The school room is now
we'll filled with students.
Of the numerous branches studied,
there seems to be more interest taken
in grammar than any other. We are
using the work adopted by the city
schools, called Higher Lessons in Eng.
lish by Reed and Kellogg.
This work is recommended
by all instructors as the
best treaties on Grammar they have
met with. One thing which makes it
doubly interesting is that we have a
very popular instructor in the person
of w. L. McSpadden. The system of
diagraming simplifies the study of
Grammar.
We are to have an entertainment to-
night by members Of the school. of
which mention will be made in due
time.
We had a fine rain last night be-
tween 10 and IL O'clock, which was
greatly needed. G.

A Ball I5 Years in u Soldiers Breast.
A few days ago Mr.Thomas Wright,
of this town, succeeded in cutting out
with his own hand a very large leaden
ball, which he received in the battle of
Chickamauga in 1854. He was shot in
the back and the ball lodged in the
breast bone, where it has been con-
stant source of irritation, causing him
frequently great pain. For some time
past it has worked toward the front of
the breast. where it could be easily
felt. Mr.. Wright had suffered so much
with it that he refused to submit to an
operation, and finally cut it out with
his pocket knife. The ball is very
large one, it is very little batterec, and
it seems that its great weight alone
would have caused its displacement
sooner. But so it is-being IA years
and eight months between the time it
was shot into Mr.. Wright's body and
its removal. He was shot some 16
times during the war.-BristoL NeaOs.

Special Message from the President.

After the failure of Congress to pass the
marshals' expense bill over the veto, the
President transmitted the following specia
message to both Houses
To the Senate and House Of Representa-
tives:
The bill making apr OPERATIONS for the
payment of fees of u nited States marshals
and their ge neral deputies, which have this
day returned to the House Of Representa-.
tives, lin which it originated and my objec-
tons, having, on its reconsideration by that
body, failed to become law, respectfully
call your attention to the immediate necessi-
ty of making some adequate provision fol
the due and efficient execution by the mar
shals and deputy marshals of the United
States of the constant and important duties
enjoined upon them by existing laws
All the appropriations to provide for the
performance OF these Indispensable duties
expire to-day.
Under the laws prohibiting public officers
from involving the government in contract
liabilities beyond the actual appropriations,
it is apparent that the means at the disposal
of the Executive Department for executing
the laws through the regular ministerial Of
ficers will after to-day be left inadequate.
The suspension of the necessary functions
in the ordinary administration OF the first
duties of the government Tor the shortest
period is inconsistent with the public inter-
est and at any moment may prove inconsis-
tent with the public safety. It is impossible
for me to look without grave concern on
state of things which leaves the public SER
vice thus unprovided for and the public in
terest thus unprotected, and / earnestly
urge on your attention the necessity of max
ing appropriation for the maintenance Of
the marshals and deputy marshals tor the
fiscal year which commences tomorrow.

HEALTHY INDICATIoNs.-The financial
editor OF the Baltimore Sun OF the Both says:
The returns OF the bank clearings at the
leading business centres give further evil
denca of an increase as compared with last
year. The gain in IS cities for the week
ending 81 instant was 1874 per cent, and
outside OF New York the gain amounted to
l6 ! per cent. The average gain for the
first three weeks OF June was 1871 per cent.
There is much regularity in the ratio of in.
crease at the larger cities which cannot be
attributed to any other cause than an actual
and steady improvement in general business.
The clearings Of the Baltimore Banks for
the week ending Saturday amounted to So ;
964,Ss5 against $9,595,3l5 in the previous
week, and ss,023,929 in thu corresponding
week last year. The decrease as compare d
with the previous week is due to the lateness
Of the season and the near approach OF the
holidays. The increase as compared with
last year is nearly 10 per cent, and may be
accepted as a gratifying evidence of the inns
provement in trade.
