TAZEWELL.

How q Bill Was Passed and County
Named-Tne Weather and the Peopie-T The
Taxes.
Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.l
TAzEwELL c. H., Jan. 3, 1885.
Tn the winter Of 1899 Mr.. Cottrell,
who represented county about the size
of Massachusetts named Russell, was in
structcd to introduce bill for the forma-
ton of a new county. The bill met the
violent opposition Of Mr.. Tazewell, of
Norfolk county, brother of the then
congressman. Mr.. Cottrell begged the
gentleman from Norfolk to withhold his
remarks until he had perfected his bill.
The next day the bill was presented
forming a new county to be named
Tazcwell, which passed, receiving the
vote of the member from Norfolk.
Mr.. A. G. Cox, who is interested in
the Virginia and Kentucky railroad,
says that work will be commenced next
month.
Winter, which opened up so fierccly
two weeks ago, has met a violent set
back, and to-day has been mild as
May.
Mark Tabar was convicted at spe-
cial term of the County Court of bur-
glary, and will start tomorrow to serve
two and half years in the State
prison.
Cleyeland's letter don't set well on
the average Republican stomach in this
section, for the reason that every office
holder, even down to road-contractor,
has been an active and jealous partisan.
The Dispatch does not overestimate
the Importance of the Blair educational
bill as a factor in Virginia politics. /
believe we lost two hundred votes in
this county through the false impression
made on ignorant men that the Demo-
Gratis had opposed that bill. Its passage
by the House would give us 5000 votes
in the next State election.
Quite a party start from this point
and Graham to the Worlds Fair to-
morrow.
| have Just been reading your splen-
did New Year edition of the Dispatch,
and am more than gratified with the
showing our chief city makes, espe-
cially in manufactures, which have been
too long neglected in the South. Apro-
pos of this, cannot but reflect what
the commercial status of Richmond
might hare been had Virginia merchants
spent the money at home that they have
used in building up the cities further
east. Your correspondent has inter-
viewed several merchants as to the rea-
son of this, and the chief reason given
is that at the close of the war
the Virginia merchants could not
give them the time they were compelled
to have; that they formed pleasant
friendships, &C., and, through the mere
force Of habit, they continue to pass
through their own cities and buy the
same goods at the same price in Balti-
more, Philadelphia, and New York that
they could get at home.
Messrs. Henry Maxwell, James Whit
mcr, and J. II. wingo have been APP
pointed, under recent act Of the Gen
eral Assembly, to reassess the value OF
the lands in this county. The landed
interest Of the State demands that per-
sonal property bear more equitable
share Of the burden Of tax, and this
should be one of the principal duties Of
the next Legislature. MAX.

Judge Latham, of the Corporation
Court. had occasion to-day to reprimand
another jury, in the case Of Joseph
Bailey, young white man, charged
with robbing the safe of Elliott & Jones,
liverymen, of $500. 1t was in the tes-
timony, and mcontradicted. that the ac-
cused had confessed the robbery. The
jury brought in verdict Of acquittal.
The Judge said from the bench: g Gen
tlemen of the jury, that is the most re-
markable verdict ever rendered in a
court of justice" The prisoner was
discharged. He is very respectfully con-
nected, and much sympathy has been
felt for his family.

AN UNSAVORY NESS.
The Investigation Of the Knightstewn Home
ELECTS Some Damaging Testimony.

The legislative m now investigating
the state of affairs of the Soldiers Orphans
Home at Knightstown have been in session for
two days, but have not yet fairly begun.
Already enough testimony has been given to
show that q great deal of internal strife has
been going on among the teachers and officers
of the institution, much 10 the detriment of the
young inmates aud the State itself. There has
been a deplorable lack of system and
discipline in the management of the asylum,
which is the natural outgrowth of
the iealousies and differences of opinion existing
between theisuperintendent and his subordinates,
and among the teachers. Thus far the testimony
is damaging to both White and Goar, the trustee.
White is charged with brutal treatment of the
young inmates. TO this he replies that for the
cases Of extreme punishment he is not response
BILE, but that he constantly repremanded the
teachers FOR cruelty, and caused the dismissal of
Morgan, one of the teachers, who brutally whip
ped a young boy named Henry.
Goar is accused of making indecent proposals
to a young lady who IS an inmate of the institu.
ton. The evidence on this point is against
Goar, as the young lady in question testified,
yesterday, that he had tried to seduce her, last
August, in Indianapolis. specifying time and
place the son of Or. White is accused of hold
ing illicit relations with the inmates, but this
charge can hardly be sustained. A witness yes
terday testified that ne was very familiar with
the ladies' of the Home, but not criminally init
mate with them, so far as close observation
could determine.
The witnesses examined yesterday were Miss
Stois, Miss Susie Wilson, Hattie Robinson, Car
RE De Wore and two employees of the Grand
Hotel.
There is no doubt that the general slandering
and defamation OF character INDUCED in by all
who are connected with the institution has done
it serious injury, and the facts brought to light
show that there is great need of reform. if not
of dismissal from office, in some particular cases.
The greater number of the witnesses remain yet
to be examined. The investigation promises to
be interesting, and some startling facts will GER
tainly be disclosed before it comes to a close.

The bill of Representative Butz. proposing an
amendment to the law requiring the doors of all

story, passed the House yesterday afternoon.
The Senate committee on the organization of
courts last night decided to recommend the in

criminal court in Vigo county and a criminal
sonrt prosecutor in this county.
1t was inadvertently stated last week that
Senator Smith of Jay. instead of Smith OF
Jennings, was one of the members of the Treas
ury investigating committee. The mistake has

and. in consequence, he desires the justice of a

Despite the intense cold, a good audience was
present at the initial meeting of the special serv-
ices commenced last night at Central avenue
Church. Rev. DR.. Marine preached a short SER
mon, after which the services were diversified.
and full of interest and power. The meetings
will be continued through the week. and it is
hoped that the members of the church and con-
gregation and many others will be present.
There is a deep feeling in this church at the
present time, and the desire and hope of the
pastor is that these special services may result
in great spiritual profit

Afternoon Session.

The bill [R. R. 1861 providing that three
county superintendent shall be chosen mem
bers of the State Board of Education, passed.
The bill LII. r. 107l, by Mr.. Eley, coming up
on a second reading, he said: 1.-The law now
authorizes coroners in four counties to charge
$40 a day for the first day. and So, 90 for each
subsequent day. In the other counties it allows
So for the first day, and S.. so for each subse-
ouent day. This bill allows all over the State
alike $6-for the first day and So. 90 for each SUBJ
sequent day."
Mr.. Moody-This bill, the gentleman says, is
to equalize the pay of coroners. 1t provides for
the cutting down of the pay of the coroners in
four of the counties, but it increases the pay of
coroners in lightweight counties. It seems to
me when you take the two provisions together
you would have to vote to increase the pay of
lightweight officers in the State and only de-
crease the pay of four.
Mr.. Brown1ng-I think there is good reason
why the bill should be defeated In counties
like Marion it just requires enough of a mans
time to keep him from doing other work. The
bill decreases the pay in four counties and in
creases it in all the rest. | am in favor of re-
trenchment and economy. l will therefore vote
against the bill.
Mr.. Donhost demanded the previous question.
1t was seconded by the House and under its
operations the bill failed to pass.
THE LEGAL RATE OF INTEREST.
Mr.. Williams's bill LEI. R. 146l to fix the rate
OF interests at 8 per cent. came up on a second
reading.
Mr.. Smith said: Indiana does not produce
money. She raises cattle, corn and wheat, which
she exchanges for money. Money seeks a
financial level the same as water seeks a level. |
do not think we ought to attempt to place any
restrictions upon the price of money.
Mr.. Gooding--I am in favor Of 6 per cent, as
proposed by this bill. l think this House intends
to have a clean-cut bill for 6 per cent. and no
more.
Mr.. Mock of Wells-I think I would not do
my duty if I did not make q statement for my
people. l never loan money, but always Dor
row, and a great many Of my constituents are in
the same condition. In one county 1 know of
there was a loan association that received as
high as fifty applications to borrow money of
Eastern companies, and contracted at 8 per
cent. interest. but could not get it. Wells
county has mortgages plastered all over
her lands-mortgages that will soon be
due and calling for 8 per cent. interest and attor-
ney's fees. When the time comes to pay off
these mortgages, where are you going to get the
money! If you prohibit US from paying 8 per
cent. we cannot get it. These are hard times.
l think it is entirely wrong to prohibit men from
making contract for a higher rate of interest if
they want to do it. -,
Pending the discussion the House adjourned.

Miss Langenberg.s Suit.

A breezy time is expected, next Thursday, in
room l of the Circuit Court, when the case of
Langenberg against Bowlin is called. The suit
is for breach of promise, and the fair plaintiff
demands the pleasing sum of 81, 900 as balm for
her wounded affections. She alleges in her COM
plant that the defendant failed to come to time,
at the day set for the marriage ceremony. and
that the plaintiff had expended considerable
money for her trousseau. There will be numer-
Gus witnesses summoned.

Discussion Of the Six Per Cent. Interest Prop
~osition-Bills Disposed OF.
The proceedings of the House were opened
yesterday morning with prayer by Rev. Walter
Delafeld, rector of St Stephens Episcopal
Church, of Terre Hauta.
Mr.. Smiths Dill lei. R. S4l came up on the
sec ond reading.
Mr.. Smith of Tippecanoe-This is q bill pro-
viding for an orphan asylum. 1t also provides
for the care of INDECENT females. II provides
that articles Of incorporation may be dled with
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1885-02-11

the clerk or recorder Of the county, and when
ever that is done they may ask aid of the county,
but the articles of association must declare
that it is under no denominations control. The
county may extend aid to them not to exceed
one-third of the cost. and in case of dissolution
the county has the first lien on the real estate.
The bill was most carefully drawn by Judge
Chase, of Lafayette. The bill is an entirely
proper one and will reflect credit on this General
Assembly.
The bill passed by yeas SO, nays &c.
The bill la. r. 81 by Mr.. Osborn, providing
for the trimming of hedge fences, coming up
on a second reading, Mr.. French said: II think
the requirements of this bill are too severe.
Between now and the first day of next June the
farmer must go out and cut down his hedge
fences to the height of six feet or suffer a fine of
80 cents a rod"
Mr.. Adams-This is for the purpose of pro-
tecting the highways. l think it ought to be
passed. It is a good bill.
Dir. Gordon moved that the bill be recon-
mltted to the committee on rights and privi-
leges. Mr.. Kellison moved to amend by strik-
ing out that part of the bill requiring a hedge to
be kept within the limits of six feet under PEN
atty. Mr.. Gordon moved to lay the amendment
on the table, which was agreed to. Mr.. kelllson
moved to lay the motion of MIR. Gordon, in re-
gard to the recommitting of the bill, on the
table, which. was agreed to. The bill failed to
pass.
