The arguments in the Searcy
case, which were very protracted,
closed on Monday last, and the
cause is now left with Judge Seay
for consideration. Perhaps no case
was ever argued in GAINESVILLE
which involved SO many and intri-
cate questions in law or elected
more extensive learning in counsel.
The exhaustive arguments of Gen.
Finley for the complainants and
Judge Lurton for the defendants
added laurels even to their already
distinguished regulations, nor did
the other advocates acquit them
selves unworthily of their duty in
this momentous cause, Judges Scales
and Smith and Mr.. Henry Merritt
all having made weighty and lucid
arguments. But we always watch
with most interest the efforts of the
rising men, and have now to record
with neutrality-suspicious. the grand
success of Mr.. J. j. West, our old
friend, the son of our older friend.
Before Mr.. West commenced his
argument, we asked of his eminent
leader, Judge Lurton, whether he
was equal to his task. He answered,
''YOu need be under no anxiety
about John West; there is nobody
here knows more about the Searcy
claims than he does;" and when he
had done we again asked him what
he thought of it. ale has not dis
appointed me, was the all-sufficient
though simple answer.
There was a time when we
watched the early career of Judge
Lurton himself with the same in
terest as that with which we are
now observing that of John West,
and we undertake to express the
same opinion of John as we ex-
pressed of Judge LurtOn when he |
gained the Dove case; he has passed |
his novitiate and must now rank
among the established jurists of the |
GAINESVILLE bar.
thought to be known that whether
the demurrer of the defendants is
overruled or not, the decision of |
this court will not put the claim
ants in the position of rightful heirs.
Divested of technical phraseology,
this action is to ascertain whether,
if certain allegations are proved, the
law will sanction the claim. Even
if it be so decided, a second trial
will be required to establish the
truth of the allegations.

WE publish with pleasure the
following correction as to the pro-
ceedings the other night of the
Reading Club:
EDITOR CHRONICLE: In your last
issue / notice, in the report of the
GAINESVILLE Reading Club, state
ment which l desire to correct. in
said report it is stated, as a fact de-
veloped In the discussion on the
Elizabethan Era, that the Church
of England was established in its
present form in the year 1854. l
was surprised to see this, as this
subject was not discussed, nor even
brought up before the club, nor do l
think that the club would be willing
to be bound by the aforesaid state
ment. A MEMBER.
We were not present at the meet
ing, which is reported by a member.
We can only congratulate the Club
on the circumstance that the real
date of the establishment of the
English Church did not become the
subject of discussion, for a theolog-
ico-ecclesiastical controversy would
have arisen out of that vexed CUES
ton which would have absorbed
their attention for the remainder of
their existence, though it should
live, as we hope it will live, till the
last survivor of the present genera
ton shall have departed from the
scene. Better stick to literature
pure and simple.

Gas BILLS.

We hear great many complaints
of large gas bills, and cannot doubt
in most instances that there has
been an increase sufficient to bring
comparison of bills with former
bills of corresponding months, and
that those of the past few months
are larger when compared with
other years. How is this seeming
discrepancy to be accounted for I?
Is it a poorer quality of gas being
SUI piled and more required for the
same amount of light? We think
not since the improvements made
at the gas works last fall the quail
ty of gas has been improved. By
our exchanges we notice the COM
plant is very general one through
out the country, owing principally,
we suppose, to the fact that the
weather has not been as bright and
clear as an average winter. This
makes artificial lighting necessary
later in the morning and earlier in
the evening, and just in proportion
to these extra house burning will
be the increase in amount of gas
bills over comparative months.
These are points that should be con-
sidered by those who believe they
have cause of complaint, also that
the months of November, Deem
Der and January, are the heaviest
(as far as consumption of gas is con-
cerned) of any in the year.

From the Sumter County Adj
vance, paper published in Lees
burg, Florida, we learn of the sud-
den death of DIR. N. IL. Thomas,
once a well-known citizen of this
county. Thefollowing is the account
given in that Journal of the manner
of his death:
1t is our painful duty to chronicle
the sudden death of DIR. N. l..
Thomas, who died alone in his field,
near Yalaha, Friday, February 9Th
When found by Mr.. Hooker and
others, he was leaning against a
stump, with an armful of.wood and
his ak near by. Evidently he had
gone out to procure wood and was
returning with it, as the day was
cold and rainy. He had not been
long dead when found, as his body
still retained some warmth, and APP
parentIy he died without struggle,
it is supposed of heart disease. Mr..
Hooker conveyed the corpse to the
house and then proclaimed the sad
intelligence to his neighbors. The
circumstances of the death of DR..
Thomas are truly very sad. He
was quite old and feeble, and lived
all alone on his homestead; conse-
quently when death placed its icy
hand upon his brow, there was no I
one near to care for him. DIR.
Thomas was a gentleman of vast
intelligence, and as physician his
equals were few. He moved to this
county few years ago from CIarks-
vile, Tenn, where his relatives
now reside.
DIR. Thomas was brother to the
late r. w. Thomas, who was for
many years editor of this paper.
He was himself long recognized in
the county not only as scientific
physician of the first class, but as a
gentleman of great social and polit-
zeal influence. Before the war he
was a man of large property, but |
that great eonvulsiOn swept away
his means, as it did those of many
Other Southern men. In his latter
days he believed himself not only
an unfortunate but an injured man,
and under the influence of his losses
and his supposed wrongs, consid-
cradle change came over his charac-
ter; from being one of the most
genial men, he became misanthrOpic
and suspicious of his fellow-men,
and evinced disposition to seelude
from their society. The
loss of his wife a few years ago con-
firmed this disposition, and his sol
itary death is the source of sorrow
to many who knew him as the life
and soul CT the best society in Mont
gOmery county.

THE Cleveland Herald says that
the action of Philadelphia means
"that those acting in his interest are
determined to secure his nomina-
ton at all cost. The minority are
to be coerced or crushed, when they
cannot be won over to the support
of Grant. 1t is to be AIT Cesar nj
Ml-Grant or nothing. The tactics
employed in Pennsylvania will be
repeated in New York, and with
those two States bulldozed into
sending Grant delegates to Chicago,
it is believed that some other States
will follow suit, and strong OUT
side pressure brought to bear on the
Chicago Convention will do the
rest !"

Gem. Hood.s BOOK Of the Nar

1t is well known that Gen. J. B.
Hood and Mrs. Hood died of vel
low fever within few days of one
another last summer in New Or
leans. They left a family of ten
children, all quite young, for Mrs.
Hood was three times the mother
of twins, and there are no available
means for their support. Under
these circumstances the help of the
Southern people has been invoked
in behalf of the family, and happily
not invoked in vain. One method
by which funds are being raised in
their behalf is the sale of the book
which we now bring before the
people of GAINESVILLE. For several
years before his death, Gen. Hood
had been contributing important
military papers to the press, giving
the details of campaigns and actions
in which he participated, and had
written several others never pub
lished till now. Those papers are
now collected in a handsome vol
ume and published by Gen. g. T.
Beauregard, illustrated with mill
tary maps and and a photograph of
the author, and the work is offered
for sale, every cent of the proceeds
to be devoted to the support of the
Hood family.
Young Beauregard Woods has
accepted the agency for this city
and county and will soon visit our
citizens to secure subscriptions.
The book is essential to the full
understanding of the war in Ten
nessee and Georgia, as it, with the
similar work of Gen. Joseph E.
Johnston, gives the two sides of an
important military controversy.
When to this is added that the
purpose of the sale is one sacred to
the heart of every Southern man,
especially of every Southern soldier,
we cannot doubt-of a rapid and lib
eral subscription in GAINESVILLE.
Beauregard Woods will call on
citizens in a few days.
