Death of Hon. Gustavus A. Henry,
of Tennessee.

The whole land is called to mourn
with Tennessee at the grave of her
Eagle Orator, the Hon. Gustayus a.
Henry, who, after long and honorable
career in which he distinguished him.
self as philanthropist, statesman,
and patriot, has passed from earth into
life eternal, al the ripe age of seventy
SIX years. He was born in Christian
county, Kentucky, in 1904. and was
one of eight brothers, one of whom was
the late General Patrick Henry of Mis-
sissippi, who departed this life, a few
years ago, full of years and of honors.
They were both men of the loftiest and
most chivalric mould, and were much
alike in person and in qualities of heart
and of mind. Both were true as the
needle 70 the pole, to their own people
in the late war; and gave themselves
and their sons to the cause in which
they believed the existence of constitu-
tional liberty was bound up. They
were ineal descendants of the immortal
orator and patriot of Virginia, whose
name one of them worthily bore and
Gustavus A. Henry, like his great an
cestor- was a born orator as he. was a
born gentleman and patriot. Peace
be to his soul. May the earth lie light
upon him, and the undying laurel grow
green over his grave

The spirit of the debate, especially

The agitation was continued and it

coin money, was expressed by a majority
of the Representatives. On that day,
vote was taken in the House on what is
known as the Bland bill !; and Mr.
Garfelds name is recorded as mot
voting The bill passed both aouses,
after having been materially amended
so as TO limit the coinage Of silver
and it was vetoed by the President on the
ground, among others, that it would be
breach of faith with the bondholders
to require them to receive payment in

against this bill was vote to discrimi-

of the unjust policy of the Secretary
of the Treasury. He had previously
voted against the Senate joint resolu-
tons declaring that all the bonds of the
United States are payable, principal and
interest, at the option of the govern
ment, in silver dollars containing the
standard measure of 4124 grains. The
conclusion is irresistible that if elected
President, he will not only veto any bill
which Congress may pass for the I'M
limited coinage of silver, but will throw
the whole weight of his administration
in favor of its total destruction as a
money metal

sensation by reason of his terrific and
crushing arraignment of Gen. Garfield
as the chief conspirator in the Electoral
Commission villiany by which the peo-
pie were robbed Of their choice of
President. He proved out of Garfield's
own mouth all the charges that he
Hendricks had made against him !;
that Garfield went to New Orleans on
the 18th of November and took charge
of the returns from Nest Eeliciana
parish that in one of the inner rooms
Of Packard's custom house, he held
secret communication with the witness
es that he prepared Undergraduates
for these witnesses, and that he remained
in New Orleans eighteen days that he
prepared the brief coming up on the
train from that city; that he expressed
great anxiety OF mlnq as 10 the result !,
that he admitted that on the face of the
returns TiIden and Hendricks had car
ried Louisiana that he made speech

his bold utterances i'll the House h.

The Damage to the Cotton Crop.

We have CLEANED from our Mississip-
pi exchanges reports from every geo
graphical division of the State, reports
of the damage to the cotton crop by
the recent unprecedented and disastrous
rains. These accounts all concur in es-
timating that the crop has been cut
short from 30 to 30 per cent Our own
inquiries rs to the loss in the section
Immediately around US, have verified
these estimates. In some places the
crop has been assaulted by the triple
destroyers, the rain, rust and insects.
The latter is the case in the river dis
tricts of this State.
As to the other cotton States, the re
ports are equally discouraging. The
New Orleans Democrat publishes full
reports from Alabama, Arkansas, Flo
rida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Tennessee and Texas, all showing that
the damage has not been below the fig
ures above mentioned: and the worst
may not yet be told, as the weather Is
still unsettled.

This Sunday afternoon, while on my way

we passed by the famous "Sand Lot" the
political camping-ground Of Dennis Kear-

AT the late election the people of Ar
kansas voted on proposed constitutions
al amendment-article 20-providing
that "the General Assembly shall have
no power to levy any tax or make any
appropriations to pay either the prinei-
pal or interest, or any part thereof,
of the ''Holford bonds" being the bonds
issued under the act of July 81, 1868,
to aid in the constructions of railways
or the levee bonds, issued under the
act of March Is, 1869, and a supple
mental and amendatory act. This
"Fishback amendment" as it is popu-
larly called for its author, is aimed at
the bonds issued in place of the out
standing bonds issued to banks before
the war, with the interest thereon
(these are commonly known as the
"Holford bonds" from their principal
holder, an Englishman)- at the bonds
issued to certain railroads at the rate of
$4,000 and SIS, 900 per mile, the lat
ter sum being given to roads not hav-
ing land grants, and at the bonds issued
to pay for the building and repairing of
the levees. In 1874 the State Legisla-
ture repealed the law under which the
Treasurer operated the railroads which
had made default in their payments of
interest and of the sinking fund, and
the roads were sold out under mort
cages, leaving the State to pay the
bonds by taxation

Anneal from the Chancery Court OF
Monroe County, Hon. L. haugl'on'
Chancellor. =,
In IS41. Augustus Willis made a Will
In January. 1912, after his death, the same
VAS probated. After various devises, the
will contained the following clause 3; i
hereby devise the money and property. I, 70
Re thus divided to the said Daniel nus =!
during his life time, and At his death 70 hls
child or children then living and the
descendants of such child or chlidfen anu
their heirs forever"
The controversy in this case grew out OF
the construction of this language The
court below held that Daniel Willis took an
absolute estate.
Appellants, the children of Daniel Willis,
insisted that he took only a life estate. On
the other hand it was claimed that the life
estate expressly given to Daniel Willis was
enlarged to fee, either by the operation OF
the rule in Shelly's Case; or that the
Limitation was in violation of the rule
against perpetuities.
This claim was based upon the use OF the
words, sand the descendants of such child
or children" 1t was conceded that, if these
words had been omitted, the will would
have vested a life estate in Daniel Willis,
with remainder to his children living at the
time of his death.
GEORGE, c. J.
Hold
/. Except where it is by way of contin-
gent remainder, limitation of an estate
will be void, if by the terms of the will
creating it. the fee may not vest within a
life or lives in being at the death of the
testator, and twenty-one years and ten
months after the termination of such life or
lives.
,. As to the children of Daniel who
might be born after the period mentioned
above, the devise was void and, being
void as to some of the persons in the class
to whom the limitation was made, it is void
as to all. Jarman on Wills, 5, Am. Ed.
