Sunday Politics in the old Times

The "Jeffersonian q few weeks ago
copied an article from tbs pen of James
Parton, giving an account of our first
presidential election which was held in
mid-winter 1889. As an example of the
severity of the winter when the election
was held, Mr.. Parton speaks of discus
sion which occurred in the canvass be-
tween Mr.. Madison and Mr.. Monroe, who
were opposing cand idates for a seat in
Congress that year. This discussion was
held on Sunday evening, in the open air,
on the steps of a Lutheran Church, after
the sermon by the pastor of the church.
The weather was intensely cold, and Mr..
Madlson's ears were so badly frozen that
they showed traces of the injury to his dy-
ing day. The writer of this never saw
the incident, referred to by Mr.. Parton,
in print before; but he is satisfied that it is
literally true. He has heard the
same account from old persons, .liv-
living in Madison county, who received
their information from their grandfathers
aud fathers who we're present and heard
the discussion. The Lutheran Church re-
ferred to as the place at which this dis
cussion took place, is situated in the
county of Madis,n. near the Robertson
river, about three miles north of the Court
House. It is the oldest Lutheran church
East of the Blue Ridge. and has a most
interesting history. The politics Of the
country have sadly degenerated since the
date Of the discussion between these emf.
nent men. and the standard of political
morality has been considerably lowered.
But it is gratifying fact to know that at
the present time, public discussion of
political questions on the Sabbath, would
not be tolerated by the Christian sense of
the country.-CharLottesv JeferSomian

The Appropriations.

The total appropriations for the city
for the next fiscal year AZ agreed
npon by the city Council last
night amounts to $500, 647, compared to
S456,2l4 last year. The interest on the
funded debt is sl,O43 greater $1,000
more is allowed for opening and gra-
ding streets road to the Delaware
$4,000 less $500 more for printing
$500 more for public buildings ; S2WV
more for repairing and cleaning streets;
goo more for paving beds of streets
$4,000 more for Water Works $4,000
more for lamps $500 more for Fire
Companies 800 more for Board Of
Public Education ; $4,000 additional
for new school houses $1,000 more for
salaries ; -, 800 more for incidentals,
and S3, 500 less for paving bed of Fourth
street.
The appropriations may at first sight
appear excessive in some departments,
but the City Council very wisely con
cluded that it was best to meet all the
expenses Of the city honestly ana
squarely without having floating deo7
and an overdraft on the bank at tlle
close Of the year. 1t must not be for,,|
COTTON that fully one half the required
increase in the appropriations was|
rendered necessary, to meet the floating
debt and the Interpretations of the)
preceding City Councils, and the othe9
half il necessary to prevent a floating
debt at the end of the present year.
will be seen that the appropriation 10
the Water Department is $4,000 more
than last year. This looks likes holding
the fort, and the increase is necessary
to meet the, expense of certain repair
absolutely necessary.

A SHARPER TRAPPED.

| Several years ago man came to this
city and represented himself as ] r. j
3. Chess, the senior member of the
dental firm of j. Is. Chess & Co., of San
Antonio, Texas. He visited the estab
llshment of the Wilmington Dental
Manufacturing Company, which was
then situated on Girard street, and
bought bill of goods, part of which he
paid at the time, but the company have
never been able to collect the balance.
Some twelve months ago he again ap-
peared in this city, and visited the
Company'a new building, on King
street, i'll a carriage, where he met MIR.
Wiley, who, not being in the firm
when the previous transaction took
place, had no hesitation in selling him
goods to the amount of $500. AS soon
as DR.. Frantz learned of the transaction,
he made al effort to collect the money,
when it was ascertaine,l that he had
eft San Antonio and gone to Mexico,
where it was supposed he was engaged
in mining operations.
A watch was kept for him, but the
Company had almost given up all hopes
of ever collecting what was due them,

Monday that Ire was in Philadelphia
trying to sell some mining stocks He
visited that city and spent Thursday
searching for him, only to find that he
had left town.
On Wednesday he received a tele-
gram that he was again in the city, and
upon going there had no difficulty in
ascertaining that he was stopping at the
Bingham House, but as it was Memorial
Day he had some trouble in getting
warrant for his arrest. In the NEAL
time DR.. Frantz found out that he in
tended TO leave the city the next morn
ing at $ o'clock, and he redoubled his
efforts to find magistrate and secure
his arrest.
About ll.30 o'clock that night a war
rant was obtained, and DR.. Frantz,
accompanied by an attorney and con.
stable, drove TO the hotel and placed
him under arrest. At first he displayed
some bravado, but finding that requi-
sition would be obtained to bring him
here on a charge of obtaining goods un-
der false pretense, he concluded to pay
the amount due with costs, and was re-
leased.
