Emory Speer's Record.

Jas. C. jenkins. who was assistant
United States district attornorncy under
Emory Speer, Of Georgia, has made oath
that Speer smuggled an indictment
against Jasper Marlborough and others
through the grand jury room, after hav-
ing made an unsuccessful effort to in
duce Jenkins to do it. Marlborough and
others we're indicted for whipping and
beating negroes. Evidence that the
crime was committed because Of the
politics Of the persons assaulted, which
was required to bring the case within
the jurisdiction Of the United States
Court was lacking in the testimony
sent up by the United States commis-
sioner. 10 remedy this deficiency
Speer "smuggled" the papers past the
grand jury, obtaining tho foreman's sig
nature without reading the papers, and
got tho case into the court. There the
negro witnesses swore to anything that
was required Of them and the accused
persons were sent to Albany for whip
ping voters because Of their devotion to
Speer when he ran for Congress. and
one Of them has died there. Jenkins
says speer suborned the perjuries, and
furthermore swears that in the case Of
P. F. Lawshe, of Gainesville, indicted
for robbing the post office, Speer wilful-
ly failed to summon the two most inn
portant witnesses for the government
although urged to bring them before the
grand jury, because Lawshe was po-
litical friend Of his. The documents
have been sent to Washington to bo
used to defeat the confirmation of Speer
ss District Judge for the Southern
District Of Georgia.

The visitor came as bearer Of q chal-
lenge from the fiery Creole, and be fore
he left the future idol of "the Lost Cause
was pledged to duel at daybrakc out
on the old Ashley shell road.
Just as the sun was glinting tho bay
beyond the forts party of five gentle
men stepped out from the palmetto
shadows A brief consultation WAS
held, the principals separated, and the
seconds, after loading two murdcrous
duelling pistols, slowly began to make
the fatal PAGES. But the galloping sound
OF a horse was heard upon the hard
white road. A horsemsn, thickly en-
velopcd in n heavy cloak, lcapcd to the
ground. And there at early morn as
stern words as were ever launched at
culprits' heads were uttered. The tor
rent of reproach changed to eloquent
and pathetic appeal. and finally the
duellists timidly advanced and shook
hands. The tall figure which stood un-
covered, arrived just in the nick of
time to prevent another Of those mur-
ders sanctioned by Code Of the pccu-
liar ethics then in vogue, was John
English, Bishop of Charleston, tho first
man south Of Mason and Dixon's line

his voice against this ducllo.

Death in Exile.

Thomas G. Field, we'll known in con-
nection with the Tweed fraud in New
York city, died Sunday near st. An
drews, Province Of Quebec, where he
had been living in exile since 1872. He
was lawyer by profession and a man of
ability. and under the Tweed regime
filled the positions Of public administra-
tor. park commissioner, corporation at
'torncy. State Senator and d.tsscmblyman.
The particular steal which made Field
notorious and for which he was
ultimately forced to fly from the coun-
try to escape prison, WINS connected with
the old Metropolitan Fire Department,
and by which the city was feeccd out of
$4GO,OOO, Of which amount, as far as
could be discovered. Field himself re-
ceived $4,000. For this he was
indicted. but he jumped his bail and be-
camoa refugee. When .Eield went to
Canada he was reported to be worth a
million dollars. and he lived in princcly
style. But by speculation he lost much
Of his i'll gotten gains, and recently he
had lived retired life, raising veseta-
bles and cutie. Referring to the death
Of Field, the New York World says
"The fate Of the man who robbed the
city SO shanicfully is full of significance
and warning. Tweed died in prison.
Connolly lived and died miserably in
foreign country to which he could never
become reconcilcd. Field now dies in
Canada, all exile from his native land, to
which he could ncvor return, but for
which he always ycarncd. Or what real
value to these men were the millions Of
which they Iobbed the city Pr

A Cutting and ShootinRScrapo.

Sunday afternoon while several color
cd mon were enjoying social game Of
seven up on Mr.. Thos. F. Harmon's
Springfield place difficulty arose be-
tween Circuit Williams and Andrew
Reese. Circuit reach I'd for Andrew
with u long blade pocket knife and cut
a gasl, about ten inches long from his
right car to point under his chin.
Circuit then turned and fed. As he
passed over the brow Of the hill, Andrew
sent couple Of pistol balls after him In
quick succession. One ball entered the
shoulder and was cut out by DR.. Glider;
the other entered the middle of the back,
and ranging upward either entered tho
cavity or buried itself under the shoulder
blade. Both negroes were badly hurt.
Circuits wound in the back may prove
serious. Neither party seems inclined to
prosecute the other, and there has been
no warrant issued .--NeUbe,7y Observer.

What Constitutes NIanIiness y

The answer would DO something in the
nature Of Benjamin Franklin's distinc.
ton between orthodoxy and hcterodoxy
"Orthodoxy is my doxy; hetcrodoxy is
other peoples doxy."
We have been led to this reflection by
reading the following item concerning
the vote on the Blair bill in tho Wash
ington correspondence Of the Me,cs and
Courier: =;
Representative Aiken, who lis chair
man Of the educational committee having
the bill in charge. sat silently II, his seat
ard mover raised his voice except to vote
with those opposed to the passage Of the
bill, His immediate ncighbors, Messrs.
Tillnan and Dargan, voted with him.
On the other hand, Messrs. Di5blc,
Hemphill, Bratton and Smalls stood up
manfully and cast their votes with the
friends Of education"
We are alta loss to infer any reason
why there is any more evidence Of man.
Illness in the action Of Messrs. Dibblc.
Hemphill, Bratton and Smalls than in
that of Messrs. Aiken, Tillman and Oar
gan. We have never heard any one of
these three Congressman charged with
being, wanting in manliness. Probably
the explanation lies in the fact that the
Ne"s and Courier and its correspond
ent agree with the position taken by
Messrs. Dibblc, Hemphill, Bratton and
Smalls. They voted ''manfully" because
they voted as the correspondent though,
they ought TO have voted, and as he
would have voted had he been member
OF Congress-. But we submit that this
is not fair test Of manliness. If Mcssrs.
Aiken, Tillman and Dargan voted in ac-
cordsncc with their convictions OF their
duty, and there is no evidence to the
contrary, then they also voted 'man-
fully" it would have been very un-
manly in them to vote otherwise.
Moreover, Messrs. Aiken, TilIman and
Dargan arc excluded by the correspond
cnt from tho list Of Congressman who
arc ''the friends Of education." We
think there is no good reason and no
justice in this. On the contrary, they
are all friends OF educatioas though they
are not the friends Of this bill. They,
no doubt, believe, as many others do,
that the passage Of the Blair bill, while
giving temporary aid and relief, would
in the end cripple the educational pro-
gress Of the States. Besides that, they
believe, as many good and intelligent
men do, that the bill is unconstitutional.
III so. they conld not vote for it without
being guilty Of gross inconsistency.
We do not wish to say anything dis
courteous about the correspondent; but
we cannot refrain from saying, that any
attempt to "bulldoze" honorable and
intelligent men into ones own ideas is
not only wrong, but is extremely vulgar.
Not only so, but in this case, at least, it
is perfectly futile, for Mcssrs. Aiken,
Tillman and Dargan are not Of the
stamp of Congressman who trim their
sails to suit newspaper criticism.
Our definition of manlincss would be,
q strict adherence to what one believe
to bo right without regard to the ap-
proval or disapproval Of others, coupled
with due respect for others opinions.
