Son AGAINST MOTHER.-JOHN MARSDEN
retired manufacturer, who had accumulated
an estate worth about $1,000 died in June,
1874, while on a visit to his son, WILLIAM G..
NARsDEN, who lived at Towanda. The de-
ceased lived at No. 1913 North Second street,
in this city, and left will dated May 30, 1866,
in which he gave to his son WILLIAM two
farms in Sullivan county and to his widow,
SOPHIA, all the rest of his estate for life. On
the death of Mrs. MARsDEN, the estate was
to be equally divided, one-half of which was
to 60 to HANNAH, the descendants daughter,
and the other half to go to the son WILLIAM,
who was also appointed executor of the will
Some six months after Mr.. MARsDEN died, q
grandson, who lived at the Second street res
idence of deceased, while turning over the
leaves of Bible discovered written on
piece of tissue paper will, May 6, 1874, and
in this document the bequest of the Sullivan
county farms to the son WILLIAM was re-
tanned, but all the rest of the estate was given
absolutely to the deceaseds widow, who was
appointed eXecutriX. 1t was to establish this
latter paper that brought the parties into
Court before Judge BIDDLE yesterday, with
Mrs. SOPHIA MARsDEN as plaintiff and WILL
LIAM G. MAkSDEN, the son, as defendant, the
latter contending that the paper is not the
last will of his father. The case will be re-
sumed this morning.-PhUd. Press.

YORKVILLE. S. c.:
THURSDAY MORNING, JULY IA, 1881.
THE WASHINGTON TRAGEDY.

That "God moves in mysterious way his
wonders to perform" is an apothegm which
will apply to the political conditions and cir
curhstances of people, cannot he doubted
even by the most skeptical. His hand is seen
in every event which has marked the history
of this Nation and though at times it has
seemed that the people Of the Southland were
scourged as with rod of afiiction, yet that
it was for a wise purpose and that "the Lord
chasteneth whom he loveth," proved conso-
lation to the prayerful, who had an abiding
faith in the Omnipresent power that doeth
all things for the best.
In this train of reflection we are led to
believe that the hand of the assassin was raised
against the President for an all-wise purpose,
which would be contaminated by more firm
ly than ever uniting the two sections that
had been estranged by war, and which aliena-
ton, designing men, for base purposes, were
endeavoring perpetuate. We are told that
only short while before the fell blow was
stricken, the President had determined upon
"new DEPARTURE. in the administrative sys.
tenn, which was designed to bring the sections
more closely together; and that on the very
morning of the occurrence, he INDUCED the
selfgratulation that after the completion OF
four months of the administration, every.
thing was going we'll, and that "plans were
forming which would make the administra
ton a good and wise one." If these plans
contemplated overtures Of a generous dispo-
sition toward the Southland the statement
is made that they did-may it not now be
claimed that the people who voted solidly
against him last November have already met
him more than half way, albeit an abyss Sc
parated them, on the brink Of which the
Presidents life was in despair?
Of generous and chivalric impulse as the
South is traditionally noted, when murder
Gus assault was aimed at the chief Executive
of the Nation, although that official was not
of their choosing, yet they felt that the force
of the blow was aimed at constitutional
liberty and their rights as freemen, claiming
an equal heritage in the government of their
fathers, and as one man they arose to condemn
the act. 1t is pleasant to note that the spon.
taniety of this sentiment in the South, and
the unaffected sympathy with which it has
been uttered, has challenged the admiration
of the North, and the cord of sympathetic
feeling (which makes the whole world kin"
has been struck. While the South is sim
cere in this sentiment, and their manly pride
is touched by the noble fortitude, courageous
resolution, and devoted attentions Of the Pres
ident's estmable wife in the great ordeal to
which she has been subjected, let US hope
that should the President be spared to the
people, the days of sectional partisanship will
be numbered:

How Whisky NEEDLES.
- Senator Merrimon, of North Carolina,
delivered an address on temperance, in Reids-
vile, on Tuesday Of last week in which
he made the following points, which are
worthy of being reflected upon even by those
who do not meddle with whisky themselves.
We copy from the Reidsville Times:
"But he brought the whole audience to
breathless sympathy when in noticing what
is so often said that if man don't meddle
with liquor it won't meddle with him, he
cried
"But this is not so! I have never meddled
with liquor! | have never drank it, have
hardly kept it as medicine in my family, and
yet it has meddled with ME; has made my
boy wandering vagabond ); has broken my
wites heart; yes, when was asleep thinking
him at home in the house, he was being made

leave him on account of liquor; and the other
day Col. Fuller met him in Asheville, and
asking how he was, he replied he would never
be sober again "hell's in my stomach y said
he, 81 want drink-give ME a quarter
And Col Fuller gave him a quarter and
turned aside from the picture.
1.-THE free country business he drew from
life in the picture of an old Harnett county
farmer whose son had brought cotton tc
Raleigh and sold it for two hundred dollars
and the sharpers got him into barroom on
Wilmington street and got him drunk, had
him drunk two days and nights in the lookup
and his money gone. The old farmer came
to him and Col. Fuller to see if they couldn
recover the money for him. They told hin
no. "My God gentlemen!' said the ole
man, throwing up his hands, "you call this {
free country, and yet no redress for such 81
outrage as this" He told this at Durham
and man in the crowd said exactly similar
case had happened to country man from to'
