KNOXVILLE FEBRUARY 26 1881.

there can be no we'll founded question as to
the moral and legal obligation of the State
for the ultimate payment of these bonds.
1 recognize the fact that the burden of
the payment oftbis debt is an onerous one;
toat our people are still labo1ing under the
lmpoverishment brought on them by the
ravages of War, and the loss of property in
cident thereto. and subsequent short crops;
that they are still suffering from the
shrinkage OF values, accompanying re-
turn to spelie payments, and am fully
persuaded that compromise or settlement
of our Indebtedness upon just and liberal
principles would prove advantageous both
to the State and to the holders of her
bonds. 1t would relieve the State by re-
ducing the aggregate of our Liabilities, thus
relieving the people OF a po4 ton OF the
burdens resting upon them. therereby
inspiring them with renewed hope and
energy. It would benefit the people by
removing from our MIDST an agitation
which. in its very nature, is demorallzing
in its influences and destructive to the in
terests ofthe country. It would benefit US
as people by placing us upon basis of
restored financial integrity, and securin Z
for US once more the confidence of the
financial world. Such an adjustment would
benefit our creditors by insuring to them
the prompt payment of interest upon the
securities held by them. It would benefit
them by causing the bonds held Dy them
rapidly to appreciate in value, thus en-
abIing them, should they desire to do so,
to realize more than on deprecated bonds.
1 am happy to know that, under the
misfortunes surrounding us there has
been, and believe there still is, disposi-
tlon upon the part of some of the holders of
our bonds to approach an adjustment of
this matter in a spirit of lberali.y. l be-
lieve that the best interests of our whole
State will be su bserved by its prompt and
speedy adjustment.
The basis and details Of any settlement
ondding in which and your exalted sense
of jnstice, refer the matter to you, feel
ing assured that in your deliberations and
con cusions upon this grave subject, you
will rise above all considerations sd .e those
of justice and a sacred regard tor the honor
and best interests of the whole country.

SOUTH CAROLINA.
Trial of Col. e. B. @. Cash for the
Murder Of Col. Shannon.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Feb. 25.-A
News and Courier special from Darl-
ington Courthouse gives a detailed
account of yesterdays proceedings
in the trial of Col. E. B. G. Cash for
the murder of of Colonel Shannon
in a duel last summer. The jury
was formed without much trouble
and composed exclusively of white
men, the defense having challenged
every negro called. Attorney Gen
eral Youmans conducted the prose
cution. A number Of eye witnesses
of the duel were examined, who tes>
tilted to the facts of the meeting
substantially as heretofore published.
Several witnesses swore that Cash
was urged by his son just before the
principals took positions to be Ger
tain to kill Shannon, and Cash had
replied he would do it as sure as
there was a world There was
scarcely any cross-examination.
When the case for the State was
closed the defense announced that
they would not trouble the Jury
with any evidence in reply. The ar
gument was then opened by Col. R.
c. Watts. who based his plea for the
accused on the ground that custom,
public and example of eminent men
in South Carolina had always sane
toned duels. He alluded to the
change in public in that State on
this subject as very recent one,
and denounced the present effort to
make Col. Cash the scape-goat for
the sins of all former duelists as
persecution. He alluded to the
circumstances-that the attorney
general had been sent here in per
son, although it was not usual for
him to take part in the prosecution
even of the most villianous murderer.
Solicitor George ". Dorgan open
ed in reply for the State. He said
the jury must regard Cash simple
as man who had violated the law.
If they condoned his offense they
would share his guilt. He urged
that Cash's words, just before the
killing, were the clearest proof of
malice, and he appealed to the jury
to disregard their sympathies, and
do their sworn duty.

licans had agreed upon the following
gentlemen to represent them:
Messrs. Conger, Sherwin, Lapham,
Anderson and Shallenberger.
Mr.. Springer announced that the
Democrats had agreed upon the fol-
lowing gentlemen to represent them:
Messrs. Cox, Thompson of Ken
lucky, Reagan, House and Morrison.
Further proceedings under the
call were dispensed with, and then,
at 6 so, the House took recess until
1890.
After the recess, Mr. Williams, of
Wisconsin, called up Senate resolu-
tion relative to the death of Senator
Matthew H. Carpenter. He spoke
briefly upon the great loss which the
country had experienced in the
death of the great Senator, and
offered resolution for the appoint
ment of five members to accompany
the body of the deceased to his late
home in Wisconsin.
Mr.. Hazleton, of Wisconsin, said
it was a sorrowful Office which he
performed in seconding the resolu-'
tion which announced to the House
the death of the most distinguished
citizen of Wisconsin. Over his
death-bed Wisconsin bowed her head
in mourning, but the greater mourn
er was the nation which he had
loved and served so we'll.
The resolution was agreed to, and
at 1915 the House, as a mark of re-
spect to the deceased, adjourned.
At II o'clock the session of Fri
day began, and owing to the long
session of yesterday the journal was
not made up, and it's reading was
postponed until to morrow.
While the House was waiting for
the report from the committee ap-
pointed last night to come to some
agreement upon the apportionment
bill, the Speaker recognized gentle
men to ask unanimous consent for
various purposes.
On motion of Mr.. Davidson, Of
Florida, Senate bill was passed
directing the Secretary of War to
investigate the claims of the State
of Florida against the United States
for expenditures made in suppress
ing Indian hostilities.
The House, at II o'clock, went
into committee of the whole, Mr..
Harris, of Virginia, in the chair, on
the sundry civil appropriation bill.
The pending amendment was that
offered by Mr.. Atkins, of Tennessee,
striking out the clause appropriating
$4,000 for printing 10000 copies of
the 'Compilalation of official records
of the war of the rebellion" Mr..
Atkins said that he had always been
in favor of the compilation of these
records, but the action of the commit
tee in striking out the appropriation
for the purchase of the Bragg and
Polk papers had seemed to him an
indication that an impartial history OF
the war was not desired. Anything that
did INJUSTICE to one side or the other
did injustice to the whole country,
for in writing history of the coun
try, nothing that might be said cons
plimentary to a confederate soldier
would detract from federal soldier,
but, on the contrary, would add to his
lustre and glory. He had been as
sured by the gentleman on the other
side that the design was to secure
everything that would throw light
on the late war, and he would there
fore withdraw his amendment.

Cabinet SpeculatiOns.

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, February 22.-The
best informa ion that can be obtain
ed as to the Cabinet tonight is as
follows: State Department, Blaine;
Treasury Department, Morton, ex-
Governor Morgan or Golger; War
Department, Robt. Lincoln; Post
Office Department, Governor Foster;
Interior Department, Senator Kirk
wood; Navy Department, Wayne
MacVeigh; Acknowledgement. Nor
gan, of Louisiana, or Baxter, of Ten
nessee. As to the Treasury, Morton
and Folger stock have both weaken
ed to-day and Ex-Governor E. D.
Morgan has come to the front.
Morton was asked tonight and
replied that he did not know any
thing about it. Mr.. Morton is a
good deal worried oy constant ap-
plications for information, to which
he can not respond. His intimate
friends say that this is not put on
but that he really knows nothing
about it, further than Garfield has
him under serious consideration. He
is as ignorant as man under SEN
tence whose case is before board OF
pardons; he knows it's under con-
sideration and that's all he does
know. A member of the present
Administration, who requests that
his name be withheld, says that two
points in the game have caused
Garfield more trouble than all the
rest combined. These are, the
selection of head for the Treasury
Department and the finding If a
Southern man who will fill the bill
for Cabinet position. If these two
difficulties were out of the way, it
would be smooth sailing.
A well in olmed man said to-day
that the Cabinet would not be an
nounced before Garfeld's arrival in
this city. The final selections would
not be made until he arrived here
and consulted with leading men oi
the party, as Hayes did tour years
ago. The cabinet which Hayes had
in his mind at Columbus was not
entirely the one agreed upon. A
report was circulated to~day, which
gained much currency, from the fac
that it looked plausible. This was tC
the effect that Senator David Davis
was to be Attorney General, a Sc
lection that would enable Garfield te
kill two birds with one stone-get &
good Attorney General and Sc
cure control of the Senate
at the same time. This
would be diplomatic stroke, bu
there is the best authority for the
statement that there is nothing IL
the story. An intimate friend O
Davis says that the Senator has NJ
expectation or desire to leave tn,
Senate for any position whatever
AS to Foster, the opinion prevail
that he is to be Postmaster Genera
as certainly as Bl.ine is to be Secte
tary of State.

fense, justifying the code duello by
the example of honorable men in va>

had been rashly passed to pacify a
