DEMOCRATIC COWARDICF


A<CWfottetc
The event of the evening session of the
Convention of National Charities and Cor
rectiOns was the reading of a paper bv Mr..
George W. Gable, of New Orleans. Mr..
Gable is slight, dark-complexioned
black-bearded young man, rather delicate
looking. He reads unusually well. and
throws a fire and intensity into his read
ing that one would hardly think him
capable of from hiS slender frame. His
paper lasted two hours, and it is safe to
say that during that time not a man but
kept his eyes fixed on the speaker. His
subject was the "Lessee System.v With
wit and pathOs and burning inyectiye he
denounced the whole system. at times
giving page after page of unanswer-
able statistics, every figure weighted
down with its history of woe, at times
giving glimpse Of life between these fig
ures of starving men, happy only when
killed by blows and bullets. Of ignorant.
brutal wardens and lessees, of crowded.
vermin-infested cells. All this was done
so quietly, with so little apparent effort.
that one wondered he could be so mild, 1t
is needless to say that the Southern author
received an ovation. He was applaUded
time and again, and at the conclusion of
his reading there was storm of hand
clapping. The President, in the name of
the society, thanked him, and then there
was more applause. Ex-Governor An
derson, of Kentucky, said it was a tender
subject to him, Mr.. Cables only fault
had been to pass over too lightly this
horrible abOminatiOn Of the lessee system
IN the South and in Kentucky. 1t did not
lie with the State to hand a man over to
death and to torture. Civilization talks
of the Black Hole of Calcutta. More
iIves have been destroyed in the town of
Frahk1ort than ever the Indian despot
slew in his life.

LONDON, Oct. 1.-The Mark Lane Ec-
press, in its review of the British grain
trade during the past week, says: "The
cold and wet weather has hampered the
gathering of the remnant of the harvest,
and has also been very unfavorable for
the threshing Of grain. The samples of
new English wheat that arrive are gem
orally in bad condition. Damp samples
are unsaleable, and dry samples barely
maintain the previous rates. Flour has
been very dull. Foreign wheats are also
very depressed. The supplies are large.
The arrivals of flour have been heavy. Pa

Hanneninrs at Bainbridre.

BAINBRIDGE. Sept. 2S.-Charles Martin,
of Decatur, died last night. He was a
young man in the vigor of life, President
of the Decatur County Agricultural AssO-
citation, a thrifty farmer, member of the
PRESBYTERIAN church and man of ire
proachable character. He went to Games
Vile. Ga, for his health and remained
two months and then came home to die
this week. The county sustains a great
loss in his untimely death. Sickness is
abating, but the feYers now are of a worse
type than in the summer. Cotton Is
mostly picked, but it rolls into market
slowly. Seventy per cent. of crop is
made. The rains are now abundant but
come too late for corn, peas and potatoes.

PURCELL'S CREDITORS.
A DECISION RENDERED. IN THE
FAMOUS LAW SUIT.

Churches Liable for the Amounts Ad-
vanced Them-The Cathedral and
school Held in Trust and Not Liable
to Sale-Churehes Not Dedicated to
the Public and Liable in Part
CINCINNATI Oct In the Hamilton
County District Court, composed of
Judges Johnston, Smith and Moore, this
afternoon decision was rendered i'm the
case of j. b. ManniX, assignee, against
}. b. Purcell ct al, which was an action
by the assignee to obtain the Judgment of
the court as to the liability of the diocesan
church property to pay the debts of the
late Archbishop Purcell. The case was
one of great magnitude. the hearing hav-
ing occupied three months, ending in
June, 1882, and has been under cOnsidera-
tiOn until now. The opinion, which was
read by Judge Smith, occupied nearly
three hours in its delivery. Out of nearly
200 pieces of property held by the Arch
bishop, fourteen were selected for this
trial as being representatives of ali. Nine
OF these were churches, others We're cathe-
drals, including the archRpiseopal resi-
dence and school, st. Mary's Seminary.
the Cumminsville Orphan Asylum and st.
JOseph's Cemetery-Old and new. The
court found that in the case of certain
churches, although the title was in fee
simple in Archbishop Purcell. vet they
were built with money raised by members
of different congregations, so that the title
was inthe Archbishop by reason of the
rules of the church, which, in such a case
as this, the court is bound to regard that
the Archbishop held the title only as
trustee for the uses of the congregations
and that the property so held could not
be subjected to the payment of debts con-
tracted by the Archbishop. In the case
of other churches the majority of the
court found that the evidence showed
that Archbishop Purcell had adyanced
some money to them, and that said
churches were liable for that amount to
the assignee. As to the Cathedral and
the Cathedral school, they were erected
by the Archbishop, and paid for directly
from funds placed in his hands, except
about S6OOOO, which was raised by sub
scription. The court held that though the
Archbishop held the property in trust. as
he did other churches, yet to the extent
OF the amount he had advanced to
them the assignee was entitled to recover
the same, with interest, for the benefit of
the creditors. The orphan ASYLUM Mt
CummnSVille was also decided trust
not subject to sale, and the mortgage on
1t given by Archbishop Purcell to
secure creditor was declared to
be of no binding force. The same view
was taken as to st. Mary's Seminary, with
an order for reference to a master to
ascertain if the Archbishop had made
advances to this property. As to the
cemeteries the majority of the court held
that they were not dedicated to the public;
that conservation did not amount to dedi-
cation, and that such portions as were
not sold for burial lots, could be sold
TOR the benefit of the creditors. Judge
In fn1 10, . h., 1
ing referred to a master, and from the
view that the cemeteries We're not dedi-
Gated TO the public and were held in trust
by the Archbishop.
