is abused. By this railroads and fac
tories and the capital even of States
are built, commerce stimulated, agri-
culture promoted, and the poor man
has a chance to become rich. With
out it all their interest must languish,
and none but the rich can prosper
All wise Governments protect their
credit at any price, no matter what
else may suffer. Without it wars, even
of defense, could not be maintained.
The credit and good faith of q State or
nation should be guarded as the apple
of the eye.
If it be true, as alleged, that the
obligations against us are tainted with
fraud, or issued without compliance
with the conditions imposed by the
statute authorizing them, it is required
by the plainest principles Of equity
and justice that if they conld be
avoided and set aside on that ground,
the State would be required to refund
the money received upon them. This
is on the principle that he who seeks
equity will be required to do equity.
Then if the argument is correct that
the bonds are not binding upon the
State for want of power or fraud in
their issuance, we would still be bound
to refund the millions received upon
them, with interest. This is both the
law and justice en- the subject.
So there is no aspect in which the
cause can be presented that will relieve
US from the obligations to pay the
debt we owe. According to the rules
Of law and equity, we owe it all, but a
chance of honorable relief is now pre-
sented by paying one-half, in 30 years,
at low interest. Who can hesitate
on such question But it is said we
are too poor and not able to pay it

Last Night.

Albert Lownsbr0ugh Drowned in the River
Last Night.
At $50 o'clock last evening Albert Lowns-
brough, an Englishman, and Henry johnson,
two deck-hands on the steamboat Aunt Betsey.
disrobed for a bath on the north side of the
river, near the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
freight house. The men plunged into the
river from the stern of the Aunt Betsey, and
swan down the stream some distance from the
shore. After remaining in the water short
time, johnson struck out for the boat, on near
ing which he observed that his companion was
still swimming down the river.
Believing that LOwnsbrough was making for
the lower end of the barge that lay some dis
stance from the Aunt Betsy, johnson called
out that he thought the distance too great to
be made easily, and that he had better return
to the shore. Capt. J. @. Smith, of the Aunt
Betsey, who had been watchingthe bathers, OBJ
served that LownsbrOugh was losing strength,
on perceiving which he ordered the yawl
for the purpose of bringing him to
the shore.
Before the yawl could be launched, however,
was drawn under the edge of the
barge, and when last seen all that remained
above the water were his hands, which leads to
the inference that after losing strength death
was caused by strangulation. The remains
were recovered by F. G.. McLogan about 8
o clock, and when founl the body rested about
ten feet from the barge and thirty feet from
the bank of the river.

From lightning and tempest; from plague, pesti.
lsnce and famine; from battle aud MURDER and
fro IN sudden death;
G0od Lori, delicer Us.
How often during her Christian and church
life had Mrs. s. Y. McAlasters, widow, of
the Rev. DR.. McMasters, repeated this prayer
in words Yet her oft repeated prayer availed
her nothing A sudden and lonely death befel
her. The announcement of her death, the
manner in which it was discovered
last Tuesday afternoon carried grief stricken
surprise to the whole community. Mrs. Nc
Masters had, with unostentatious charities, a
far reaching humanity and perfect Christian
spirit, become known to all classes of society,
and. known to them, she had become beloved
by all. The death of such character would
naturally cause comment. added to words of
reverential grief spoken in sympathetic voice.
The interest in the death of this notable
woman was increased by the manner of her de-
mise. She died alone, all unattended, and her
body was found in the repose of death twelve
hours after the spirit had winged its flight
Found twelve hours after he had sunk into
the silent embrace of dreamless night. How
death came to her, how she faced the messen-
ger of her God, none can tell. None were
present to witness tho approach of the messen-
ger, nor her departure in obedience to the
summons.
IL good works and an exemplary Christian
life entitled anyone to natural death, it
would seem that Gods bounty in this respect
would have made the deceased's exit one to be
cited as an example. Yet she died suddenly,
not on a death bed, surrounded by friends,
sons and daughters, to kiss her eyelids down to
their lust sleep, but IN the loneliness of the
night, away from the reach of human help and
sympathy.
lonely death surely, and one which de-
privcd the living of the last kindly word of
sympathy or advice. Sudden death is appall-
ing, let it comes even to the lowliest. But WIS.,
tied upon such as Julia Russell McMasters, the
sympathy of the public is only second to anx-
ious inquiry about all the particulars And
what particulars can be given?
DISCOVERING THE DEATH.
Tuesday about o'clock Judge James Gill
tilan and wife, e daughter of deceased, called
at the residence of Mrs. McNIasters. No re.
sponse was given to their summons for admis-
sion. The door was tried and found to be
locked.
Mrs. Gilfillan then looked for the key in the
place where it was Mrs. AIcMaster's
custom to put it, when she
left home. 1t was not there Mrs. Gil
tillan felt alarmed, and communicated her fears
to her husband. The shutter to the front win
dow was broken open, and entrance to the
house made.
In a few moments Mrs. McAIasters was found
on her bed, dead. She was dressed, even to
being wrapped in a shawl.
Following this sad even horrible discovery,
friends were summoned, among whom were
Drs. Davenport and Hand.

be better understood, the following diagram Of
the house is presented:

VERDICT OF THE DOCTORS.
An examination of the corpse was made, and
the death was pronounced natural, and apo-
plcSy assigned as the cause.
The doctors declared she had died twelve
hours before she was found-at least twelve
hours. And for the matter of that. these
hours could be stretched even beyond such a
limit.
After this, the funeral.
Death coming in such manner as it visited
Mrs. Mchlasters, has with it the shadow of
mystery. AT night and alone she met the
dread messenger. But how?
From hasty examination, both by friends
and the physicians, Mrs. McNIasters was de.
cared to have died a natural death.
HORRIBLE SUSPICION OF MURDER.
But no sooner had the earth closed over tho
face of the dead, than the whisper became
prevalent that the suspicion attached chat death
had como to her in violent form. To be
accurate this suspicion found an abiding place
in the thoughts of more than one, even before
the corpse was laid to its final rest. 1t camo in
such strength, and to those near the
deceased, that they insisted upon another and
more careful examination of the corpse.
Again the declaration was made that she died
natural death, and from apoplexy.
But the physicians made no autopsy.
with this assurance tho body was committed
to the earth, but the suspicion of violent death
survived the intcrment. What relatives sur-
missed before tho funeral others suspected after
the burial. Thus to the mystery of the lonely
death at night was added the new mystery of
probable violence. To awaken the suspicion
in the first place, and to give it a continuance
for several days, there must have been some at
tending circumstances, which the GLOBE nm

From what did they Judge?
They made no post niorteJn examination or

the impress of fingers upol the throat, and th,
