prosecution was considered by friends as a
wise one. l was complimented as being at

testimony of James in reference to the warn

the White House with James and did make a
warning remark to the president, but didn't
use the language the eX-postmaster general
put upon his lips. He stated to the president
that considering the bitterness of the star
route men and the Half Breeds
there--might be a resort to violence. that the
president should be careful. Witness had an
impression which caused him to give the
warning. The president appeared impressed
by the warning momentarily, but remarked
that he apprehended no danger Witness
said he had an impression at the time that

The Recent Supreme Court Decision
Attracting Much Attention.
some Views as to lately PrOp0s I'd
Mcasures--- -Sundry Hnyestiga-
tiOhs-- Doings in Congress
Capital Notes.

WASHINGTON CITY, March 12.-The legal
tender decision of the supreme court has at
tracted more attention among senators and
congressman because it was anticipated by
most of the lawyers in congress that the de.
cision would be the reverse. Gen. Browne,
of Indiana, said: Il had supposed up to the
time of the recent decision of the
supreme court that the constitution
prohibited the issue of legal tender paper
money except as an incident of the war
power. l do not think l would be willing to
agree that congress should be able, under the
constitution, to issue legal tender paper
money in the exigencies of war. But for
the exercise of this power during the re
bellion it would not have been possible to
save the government 1t is true that such
currency will be deprecated in comparison
with coin, at least temporarily, but it may
be better TO submit to the evils Of a
deprecated currency rather than to a
total destruction OF the government. The
decision of the supreme court goes further
than | or anyone anticipated. No one sup
posed when the legal tender notes were first
issued, not even Thaddeus Stevens, who was
their foremost advocate, that they would
not be redeemed in coin and paid off. At
present the decision of the court does not
affect values because the notes are re.
deemable in coin 1t only gives ground for
the fear that congress at some time may in
stitute an issue Of fiat money; but there is
no danger Of that i'll time of peace. | think
should favor all amendment to the cOnStitu-
tion prohibiting congress from making any
thing but coin e legal tender, except in time
OF war, and providing that the paper money
issued under such circumstances must be
eventually redeemed in coin"
judge Cu!terson, of Texas, said: The
proposition emanat5s from gentlemen who
desire to perpetuate the national banking
system, and l think it should be opposed by
every man who is against that scheme. The
decision of the supreme court is sound, and
i was not a surprise to ne, as you will see
Ity speech which | delivered i'll congress
some time ago. | have always held that con-
gress has the constitutional power to give the
legal tender quality to treasury notes. 1t is
| very improbable that congress will adopt tho
proposed amendment to the constitution"
| Judge Moulton, of Illinois, sal |: 1.-The Pot
| ter amendment could not pass the house, but
| it ought to, because under the decision of the
supreme court congress could make piece of
brown paper legal tender, although it may be
as worthless as continental scrip or Confeder-
| ute notes" Mr. Dorsheimer of New York,
| said the Judiciary committee would consider
| the amendment as promptly as possible, and
| be would favor its adoption. There is a very
strong feeling among members that it is
] necessary, and he believed the committee
would report favorably and possibly the
| house pass it.

A WOMAN S FURY.
The Terrible Rage OF an Alabama
Woman with n Knife.

OPELIKA, Ala, March l2.-ParticularS
have reached here of the terrible tragedy
which occurred a day or two ago in remote
district of Coffee county. Mrs. Harvey and
Mrs. Hughes, two sisters, were the
wives of well-to-do farmers and lived
on adjoining farms A few day.
ago Mrs. Harvey's COW did some
damage in the garden of Mrs. Hughes
whereupon the latter drove the animal out
striking it across the back with a heavy
stick. When the incident came to the knowl
edge of Mrs. Harvey she flew into rage anC
started out for the residence of her offending
sister armed with sharp butcher-knife
When about fifty yards from the house, Mrs
Hughes met her and attempted an explana
ton. Mrs. Harvey made plunge at her sis
ter with the knife, sending it at one
thrust through her heart. As the wounded
woman fell her son ran up with stick anC
struck his aunt with it on the head The in
furiated woman then turned upon hel
nephew and began cutting at him. The boy'
screams attracted the attention of somt
neighbors, who rushed up and stopped the
progress Of the bloody work Mrs. Harvey
was taken to Elva jail, where she will be helt
for trial. The boy is so badly cut up that hi
recovery is not probable.

Wool and whisky.

WASHINGTON CITY, March 12-The wool
people are chuckling over the defeat of the
whisky bill. OF course they did not openly
oppose it; but they recognized the fact that
the whisky people did not rally to the support
of the wool bill "The fact is," said
one of the wool men, I'VE who are
in favor of the restoration of the wool
tariff are not going to worry ourselves and
rush to the support of the whisky bill These
people oppose our measure and talk aboin

nature than our bill Ix-would look bad for

Sims through rigid cross-examination re-

showing that after the Democrats refused to
recognize him he had gone over the Repnbli-

changed his views when he found out two
years ago that he couldn't receive the Dem
ocratic nomination for congress, and said he
knew of no general disposition among col

American salt Meats

WASHINGTON CITY, March 12.-Mr. Davis,
Of Illinois, made an argument before the
house commerce committee in favor of
retalatorv legislation for the treatment of
cur hog abroad. He argued that the
recent official statements show that our
meats exported are entirely healthful,
and that their exclusion is from political or
commercial motives and not those of safety
for the people as is claimed. The sub-com-
mittee is understood to be favorable to the
Davis proposition, but whether the full COM
mittee is so is uncertain The matter is to
be considered by the full committee on
