bears the imprint of the seventh edi-
ton. 1t is as filthy in every sense as
the book it retorts to, but is sharper
written and brighter. The best part
of it is the opening paragraph of the
preface, in which Sarah says; d" de-
clare, in the most solemn manner, that
there isn't word of truth IN what l

not bad, either. Itsays: "The moral

she has taken advantage Of all the

A Sinper,s ReyenUe

The sad death at Vienna OF Joseph
inc Gallmeyer, the Greatest of Ger
man soubrettes, serves as reminder
of mistaken idea that many people
have in reference to the origin of the
air of the celebrated Trio in the last
act of Franz Won Suppe's "Fatinitza."
There are many who have been led to
believe that the well-known martial
air, which serves as such brilliant
incident of the opera, is really AN oil i
German song. on account OF the inter-
polated verse begging:
"Du Dist verrueckt, mein kind
Du must mach Berlin
Wo die Verrueckten sind;
bort must Du hin"
This opinion is wholly due to d
within of Josephine Gallmeyer. She
hid been singing the title role OF
''FatinitZa" at Vienna, under the per-
sonal direction of that German master
of melody, Won Suppe. Her appear
ances were so many oYi-
tions: When she. appeared as
'Fatinitza' in Berlin the public of the
Prussian capital were inclined to find
fault with her, treated her coldly, and
criticised hor so strongly that she de-
termined upon revenge. So one night,
in the last act of "FatinitZa," inStread
of singing the words of the hbretto
In the trio she substituted an extern
pore verse of her own, namely the
words quoted above, which may be
freely translated:
As thou art mad, my child.
Thou should'st to Beriinj
Where all the folk are wild;
There you'll meet your kin.
This unexpected action aroused a
storm of Kisses, the opera ended amid
partial disorder, and Josephine Gall
meyer was allowed twenty-four hours
by the city government in which to
leave the capital.

THE CONFEDERATE DEBT.

! We have received pamphlet entitled,
1.-THE Confederate Debt and Private South
ern Debts" by J. Barr Robertson printed
in London, February 1st, 1884. The conclu-
sions of the writer regarding the Confederate
debt are given in his introduction as follows
~ have no pretentions whatever to be q
lawyer, and therefore the following obser-
vations must be regarded as simply and
solely that of a financier and a man of buSi-
ness. The conclusions arrived at in the fol-
lowing pages are that the Confederate States
had only belligerent and not international
rights; that the Confederacy, being an ille.
gal corporation, according to the United
States law, could not issue bonds which
would be valid against either the United
States or the legal State Governments of the
South that, therefore, neither the cotton
bonds nor the dollar bonds have any validi-
ty whatever as Confederate debt in the alb
sence of the Confederacy; that there is moth
ing in the opinions and cases adduced in
support of the bonds which really conflicts
with this view of their lllegality in the Uni
ted States that the equities arisising out or
the original controversy between North and
South, and not being cognizable by any
court, are reserved as subject matter for con-
sideration by the United States, and are:
therefore outside the scope of the present
discussion and that there is in the dollar
bonds an omitted international claim against
the United States for payment of private
debts owed by Southern citizens to Euro
peans at the beginning of the war and which
are now represented by dollar bonds that
were sent to them as the only means Of re-
mittance from the Southern States; and
citizens not engaged in the war and of Eu"
ropeans for property taken by force and for
which Confederate bonds were compulsorily
rendered are not in any way affected by the
fourteenth amendment and therefore ought
to be paid by the United States"

SENATOR HAMPTOS'S VIEWS.

Senator Hampton has been interviewed
by the New York Herald on the apnroafehz 81
-Presidanf nfiHr-on111fa5gnJ and from the
report he has evidently been thinking over
the strength of the Democratic party in the
South and the Republican party in the
North. He is reported as saying that it
would be a good idea to leave to the six
doubtful States-New York, New Jersey,
Ohio, Indiana, Nevada and California-the
task of selecting the Democratic candidate
and constructing the platform. While Ohio
has invariably chosen the Republican elec-
tors, the fact that she is now the only Octo-
ber State makes her vote doubtful and there
fore to be the more earnestly contended for.
Nevada and California were Democratic in
1880. Indiana and Connecticut in 1S7S
New Jersey in 1864, 1876 and 1880, and New
York in 1868 and 1876. The tariff issue is
now supposed to eliminate Connecticut from
the list of doubtful States in favor of the
Republicans, leaving ninety-four electoral
votes to be contended for in the six doubt
full States, forty-eight of which, added to
the vote of the solid South or the solid
North, would determine the result

DEATH OF REV. JAS. WILSON,.

The Southern Presbyterian of last week
thus announces the death Of Rev. James
Wilson, IL venerable divine, who was well
known in this community, having resided
here for a number of years with his son,
Rev. L. H. Wilson, formerly pastor of the
Presbyterian church of this place:
Mr.. James E. Wilson, of Nashville, Tenn.
writes us that his father, the Rev. James
Wilson, the venerable ex-missionary to In.
dia, fell asleep yesterday week, the 18th in
slant. He says: II write to announce the
death of my father, Rev. James Wilson,
which occurred on Wednesday, the 18th in
stant, at my brother Luther's in Tyler, Tex
as. He had gone there last fall to spend the
winter, with the expectation ofcoming here
in the spring and making his home with
my family, and his remains are now en- route
to be buried here. My brother John was

THE CHERAM OUTRAGE.

A Cheraw special dispatch of last Friday
| to the NeWs and Courier says: Our town
marshal, w. II. II. Richards, who was so
ruthlessly shot down on the streets of Che
raw, on the 23rd instant, by w. B. Cash,
after lingering in great agony for nearly a
week, died from his wounds this morning
at half-paSt 3 o'clock.
| Richards was member of Company G.,
Thirtieth Massachusetts, Veteran Eolun-
teers, and was promoted to first lieutenan-
CIV for gallantry. He was also member of
Chatham Lodge, American Legion of Hon
or, of this place. His tragic end is a matter
for deep regret, not onlyby this community,
in whose service he was murdered, but by
the whole State, on whose fair name this
crime will be a blot in the eyes of her sister
States.
The coroner has been sent for, and an in
quest will be held to-day, and it is to be
presumed that it will result in some honest
effort to capture the murderer.
Mr.. Coward, the unOffending byStander,
who was wounded by one of the bullets in
tended by Cash for the town marshal, lies in
very precarious condition, his lower limbs
being paralyzed, and in all probability this
shocking tragedy will prove to be double
murder.
A later dispatch gives the following addi-
tional particulars of the ending of this sad
tragedy:
The Jury of inquest was impanelled to-
day at half-past O'Clock and adjourned for
the hearing of evidence until half-past 7
this evening. In the interim Drs. Kol-
lock, James, Wilson and Waddill proceeded
to perform the autopsy. The autopsy re-
vealed the fact that the ball had entered the
left side, penetrating the fourth dorsal ver-
zebra. Spicule of the bone were also driven
into the spinal marrow. The examination
of four witnesses, whose evidence differed
in no material points, was then made. Up
on the conclusion of the evidence the jury
rendered the following verdict: "That w.
II. H. Richards came to his death from a
pistol shot in the hands of w. B. Cash on the
23rd of February" -,
! Mr.. Richards leaves wife and three small
children. He came to CheraW with the first
garrison sent to this town in 1865, where he
married and has since resided.
