came on and thousands hocked to the
place either to work in the mines or
to buy them for speculative purposes.
Many offers were made to the partners
to sell their claim, and finally they
concluded to do so. J.V. Farwell, of
this city, offered them 5000, 900 for
their most valuable mine, and they ac-
ceptedhis bid. Last SATURDAY they came
to Chicago to settle the transaction with
MIR. Farwell, and, after it was over,
dropped in at the Union National
Bank and invested about $3.50 900 in
government bonds. One of the part
ners signed his name with an tx"
Finerty, as his share of his proceeds
Of the sale, received $3.50, 900, and the
Dillon brothers $4,000 each, enough
to secure any reasonable person in
comfortable circumstances for the rest
Of his life. When they called at the
bank they were dressed in the most
conspicuous style from top to toe.
They did not, however, tarry longer
than necessary in the city, but de-
parted at once for Leadville on the
evening train. 1t is said that they
own a number of other promising
mines, each of which may be as valu-
able as the one Mr.. Farwell bought.

THE PRENTICE BRIBE STORY.
A Statement by the Great Editors
Brother.

A brother of George D. Prentice,
residing in Washington, has been in
terviewed with reference to the story
that the great editor accepted a bride
Of $4,000 to print a secession edito-
rial, and then when it did not appear
did not return the money, and nothing
was ever said about it by the parties
who had paid for an article they didn't
get. This is said of the brother and
his talk:
The brother of the great editor
and poet is in his sixtieth year, a small,
spare man, with long gray hair falling
on each side of a face which attracts
by its kindly smile and benevolent
aspect. He talked freely about his
brother, and did not seem to be dis
turbed by the recent publication re-
lecting on his character as a mar and
patriot. "Yes," he said, 81 have
read a number of newspaper articles,
purporting to give the history of a
bargain made in 1861 by my brother
with the leaders of the ~Confederacy."
What do you know about the
matter?"
1T is the first time l had ever
heard fit"
did you have any conversation
with your brother at that time on po-
litical subjects ?"
mo, | did not. He was living in
Louisville and | in Washington. He
came here shortly after the war began,
and afterward quite frequently during
its continuance"
did he, in any conversation you
held with him during these visits,
speak of his being approached in the
interest of the COnfederacy to secure
the support of his paper to that
cause ~
"0h, yes. l remember him telling
me that General Beauregard offered
him 100000 to secure the support of
the paper. This amount was intended
for the purchase ofthe paper outright,
or in case my brother did not wish to
sell, the other would remain good,
provided the paper would remain
neutral"
Are you sure about the amount"
Certainly he was offered a check
for that amount on the Bank of Geor-
gia, and in those days, you know, that
was a good bank
How was this offer entertained 4? "
He merely spoke of it to me in a
casual way in connection with other
topics about the war, and the possibil-
ity of his having accepted the offer, or
thought Of doing so, did not at once
occur to me-

EXECUTIVE OFFICE, March %, 1879.

EXECUTIVE OFFICE, March 26, 1879.
Gentlemen of the Senate and House
Of Representatives: Your present
session ought not to close without some
decisive step toward the settlement of
the public debt.
The public welfare imperatively de-
mands that this question shall be
eliminated from the politics of the
State as speedily as possible, and if it
shall result that your views are irrec-
oncilable, | suggest in that event that.
you provide for a constitutional con
vention. This disturbing question
must be settled at some time.
and the ooner the better. If
your views prove irreconcilable now
it is not probable you will agree in the
future, and consequently the only
step you can take in the event of a
final disagreement, is a resort to a con-
s%titutioqal convention. A constitu-
tional convention, composed, as it will
be, of but one body, cannot fail to
make a settlement. Clothed with
sovereign power, its action will be
final and irrevocable. Consisting of
fewer members, it will cost no more
than an extra session Of the legisla-
ture.
If you provide for such a conyen-
ton, it still remains for the people to
determine whether it shall have am
existence or not.
make this recommendation now,
so that if you fail to reach an agree
ment, a proper bill may be perfected
before your adjournment, if you con
cur with me as to the propriety of the
step. ALBERT S. MARKS. Gov'r.

Child.
Alas, alas, your little bud,
Is withered, dead, and gone,
Her body sleeps in sweet repose;
Her spirit joins the throng
Of angels circlins round the throne,
Attune.their glorious lays,
And echo answers to each song
On golden harps their praise.
Rejoice that Christ in passing by,
Hath touched this spotless flower,
And wreathod it in His diadem,
To blossom in His bower,
Where fragrant flowers forever bloom,
In the celestial sod,
Shedding its rich and rare perfume
Upon the throne Of God.

Peter Finerty, Richard and Patrick
Dillon are the names of three gentle
men who may be classed among the
few who have made independent for
tunes in Leadville, Col. The first
named came to this country about ten
years ago penniless. The Dillon
brothers were too poor six years ago to
pay their passage across the Atlantic,
so they shipped as deck hands. After
landing they started to work their
way across the continent, and finally
pulled up at Leadville. They worked
in the mines with varying success, but
managed to remain as poor as when
they left the old country. Their
lot was in no way different from
that of thousands of other miners
about them. They were shrewd, how
ever, and persisted in their laborious
efforts to strike a lead" They staked
out their claims in proper form, and
secured themselves against all corners.
Finally fortune smiled upon them.
Theydiscovered one Ofthe best paying
mines IN Leadville. There were then
four in partnership, but all too poor
to work the mine to advantage. Fin.
erty bought out the share Of one Of the
partners, and he, with the Dillon
brothers, continued to work the preci.

ADJUSTMENTS.

MEMPHIS THEATER.-The musical
extravaganza entitled Babes in the
Woods had its second representation
at the Memphis Theater last night to
a moderate attendance. The perform
ance of the burlesque was satisfactory
and highly amusing. One of the most
cOmical features is the introduction
of a live donkey, whose antics and
terpsichorean skill brought down the
house. That animal is an artist of no
mean pretensions, ears and all. His
vocal powers, too, are softer and more
touching than is usual among animals
ofhis tribe. The singing of the sweet
voiced and attractive Eme Roseau is
one Of the leading and most charming
features of the troupe. Her vocaliza-
ton last night was capital and won the
enthusiastic plaudits of the audience.
She responded with grace and anna
bility to numerous encores. The com.
pany is an excellent one in every re-
spect.
Tonight Robinson Crusoe and H.
NJ. S. Pinafore intermixed will be the
programme. Tomorrow at noon the
doors will be opened, and half an hour
later the curtain will rise on the
Babes in the Woods. 1t will be given
in its entirety, after which the Colville
troupe take the train for New Orleans,
where they are to appear Sunday
night.
EMERsoN' MINsTRELs are to appear
at the Memphis Theater on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday Of next week.
They are a talented company and
Emerson is reported to have lost none
Of his old quality. A fine engagement
is promised here.

A report comes from Bartlett that
the legal atmosphere is clOuded there
abouts. The war began on Wednesday
last when W. j. Duvall, prosecuting
attorney before the Circuit Court,
moved to enter a nolle pros in the j.
B, Persons murder case. An indict-
ment pending here, with other causes,
instigated this action. Judge Eldridge,
it is stated, turned on attorney Duvall
and used very strange language to that
official, making charges which, it is
believed, he will hardly be able to
sustain. He appointed another attor-
ney to prosecute the Persons case, and
on yesterday this gentleman declined
to serve. The war, it is stated, has
been renewed with increased vigor.
The course pursued by Judge Eldridge
in the matter is regarded as passing
strange by those who appear to be
most familiar with the circumstances.
